...

PetaLinux Installation

• (optional) Create new VM with supported Linux OS.
  
  • Attention: Use English as OS language for your Linux System (Keyboard language can be any language). Other languages may cause errors on PetaLinux build process.
• Download PetaLinux  from Xilinx Website: http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html
• • Choose  a PetaLinux Version, that's corresponding to the installed Vivado and SDK Version.
    • Example: Use Vivado 2016.4 with SDK 2016.4 and PetaLinux 2016.4
• Use UG1144 "PetaLinux Tools Documentation - Reference Guide" that's corresponding with your PetaLinux Version
  
  1. Check "PetaLinux Tools Installation Requirements" chapter and install missing tool/libraries
  2. Use installation instructions from chapter "PetaLinux Tools Installation Steps"
  3. See Troubleshoot Petalinux2016.4
• Note:
  
  • There is no need to install anything else, or to fetch anything from any github repos, etc.
  • It is recommended to test the installation by creating a dummy template project and building it.
    • Download BSP Example from Xilinx Website
    • Install:$ petalinux-create -t project -s <path-to-bsp>
    • Build: $ petalinux-build

Creating a Project from Vivado Project

1. PetaLinux Working Environment (see UG1144)
   • PetaLinux Tools Installation is completed.
   • "/bin/sh" is bash
   • Set Working Environment:
     • $ source <path-to-installed-PetaLinux>/settings.sh
2. Create a New Project (see UG1144):
   • $ petalinux-create --type project --template <CPU_TYPE> --name <PROJECT_NAME>
     • <CPU_TYPE>: zynqMP, zynq, microblaze
     • <PROJECT_NAME>:The name of the project you are building
3. Import Hardware Configuration (see UG1144):
   • Export Hardware Definition File (*.hdf) from the Vivado Project into the PetaLinux root folder "<plnx-proj-root>":
     • change to PetaLinux root folder:
     • Run:$ petalinux-config --get-hw-description
4. (optional) Configure your PetaLinux:
   • While anywhere in the project folder tree:
   • Run:$ petalinux-config
   • Run:$ petalinux-config -c kernel
   • Run:$ petalinux-config -c rootfs
5. Build System Image (see UG1144):
   • While anywhere in the project folder tree:
   • Run:$ petalinux-build
6. Take u-boot.elf,  image.ub and bl31.elf (zynqMP only) from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" and make BOOT.BIN.  It is recommended to create the FSBL with SDK/HSI tools.

Petalinux Configuration

Most settings can be changed with menu-config ($ petalinux-config, petalinux-config -c kernel, petalinux-config -c rootfs).

Manual changes can be done in the subfolder "<plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-user/"
