Short HOWTO

Getting Linux working on Zynq is very simple, following steps are required

1. Vivado/SDK/Petalinux 2015.4 Installed
2. Create Vviado Project, configure PS, Export HDF
3. Ceate new petalinux project
4. Import HDF into project
5. petalinux-build
6. copy boot.bin and image.ub to SD Card

This is generic howto, everything is setup for your by the Vivado->Petalinux flow. Note, the boot.bin generated by petalinux may not always work, in such case it is recommended to make the boot.bin with SDK GUI or command line tools manually.

There is no need to install anything else, or to fetch anything from any github repos, etc.
