BL31 gets Stuck during booting

Issue

Petalinux 2023.2 seems to have a Problem booting with UART1: It gets stuck on BL31 while trying to print a char to UART1 during booting.

This error happens on Versal and Zynq Ultrascale+ devices. The error is that BL31 built by petalinux does not correctly take into account that UART1 is used, and tries to output on UART0

Workaround

This can be fixed by e.g. overriding yourself with creating arm-trusted-firmware_%.bbappend in meta-user/recipes-bsp/arm-trusted-firmware with content

For Versal: ATF_CONSOLE ="pl011_1" 

For Zynq Ultrascale+: ATF_CONSOLE = "cadence1" 


Modified FSBL is not containing patches

Issue
Trenz modified FSBL for petalinux is not taken into account from petalinux. This is only need on trenz project which has FSBL patch included inside the petalinux template. --><project folder>\os\petalinux\project-spec\meta-user\recipes-bsp\embeddedsw
AMD has changed patch priority and petalinux ignores provided FSBL patch in \os\petalinux\project-spec\meta-user\recipes-bsp\embeddedsw
Workaround

In order for the patches to be used, the existing line BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-user = "[VALUE]" must be set to 9 instead of the original value 7 in the Petalinux config file project-spec/meta-user/conf/layer.conf

Workaround

Problem related to python environment and gnome-terminal. One of possible solutions is to remove gnome-terminal.

Install terminator as replacement for gnome-terminal, or xterm can be used instead of gnome-terminal

Code Block
languagebash
sudo apt-get install terminator
sudo apt-get remove gnome-terminal
