How to debug Linux crash on startup (PetaLinux 2020.1 on MicroZed)

rsg
rsg over 4 years ago

I've created a pretty generic PetaLinux 2020.1 project for my MicroZed board, and built everything successfully. I believe I've got the SD Card properly configured, and my RootFS is in place. FSBL/U-Boot properly load and run, but when it comes to booting Linux, it crashes with the following output on the console.

I could use some advice on how to track down the underlying problem, probably some sort of misconfiguration on my part, as Google/StackOverflow did not lead me anywhere that seems applicable. Given how little I tried to change from an out-of-box setup, it seems this could be a common problem. Thanks!

    I have figured out the problem - there is no xintc in my design! (This is what I was wondering about in my comment above).

    What I don't understand is why Vivado/PetaLinux seemed to require one. My design was originally built using 2017.1 tools, and I did not include an xintc there. I now needed to enable the SPI controller in the ZYNC7 Processing System, which is the only HW change that I added. So, either that (enabling SPI0) or the new tools (2017.1 -> 2020.1) caused the new (undocumented?) requirement, unless of course, it was COVID-19...
