Short HOWTO

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

...

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
   • Set cross compiler:
     • $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
     • $ export ARCH=arm
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 subfolder "<plnx-proj-root>/hw-description":
     • change to the hardware description folder:
     • Run:$ petalinux-config --get-hw-description
4. (optional) Configure your PetaLinux:
   • While anywhere in the project folder tree:
   • Run:$ petalinux-config
     • It's recommended to deactivate FSBL-Configuration and build FSBL and Boot.bin with SDK/HSI: "linux Components Selection --->" "[ ] First Stage Bootloader
   • 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
   • Build log-file:"<plnx-proj-root>/build/build.log"
6. Take u-boot.elf and image.ub 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).
