PetaLinux 2018.2

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 2018.2 with SDK 2018.2 and PetaLinux 2018.2
  • Use UG1144 "PetaLinux Tools Documentation - Reference Guide" that's corresponding with your PetaLinux Version
    1. Change owner of installation directory to non root (see Troubleshoot page)
    2. Check "PetaLinux Tools Installation Requirements" chapter and install missing tool/libraries
    3. Use installation instructions from chapter "PetaLinux Tools Installation Steps"
    4. Deactivate Webtalk: $ petalinux-util --webtalk off
    5. See also Petalinux Troubleshoot - Petalinux2018.2
  • 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 one of the BSP Examples from Xilinx Website (Only to test your installation)
      • Install:$ petalinux-create -t project -s <path-to-bsp>
      • Build: $ petalinux-build

Creating a Project from Vivado Project

Info

Some reference designs contains a preconfigured PetaLinux project as template. This can be used instead of creating a new project described on step two.

Note

PetaLinux 18.2 is using one absolute path in "<plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/configs/config
Change path of CONFIG_TMP_DIR_LOCATION variable to your project path "<plnx-proj-root>/build/tmp" manually or use provided "./init_config.sh" to change path variable automatically. If missing, change execution rights for init_config.sh with chmod

  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,  bl31.elf (ZynqMP only) from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" and make BOOT.BIN.  It is recommended to create the FSBL and PMU Firmware (ZynqMP only) 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/"
