Problem booting Linux.

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

I've gone through Chapter 6 of CTT (ug873) to integrate AXI CDMA with Zynq PS HP slave port. I'm aware that the guide is for ZC702 which has 1GB memory whereas Zedboard has 512MB memory.

I've successfully implemented the standalone application (baremetal application of section 6.2) and it works fine without any problem. But I'm having problem with the Linux OS example shown in section 6.3.

I generated FSBL and BOOT.bin by using SDK. Also, I used devicetree.dtb, u-boot.elf (to generate BOOT.bin), zImage and ramdisk8M.image.gz that come with ug873 user guide.

I then copied all the above files to the SD card and turned on Zedboard. But, there wasn't anything happened. There wasn't a single character printed on Tera Term. I guess Linux didn't boot at all.

My question is - do I have to change the devicetree.dtb in this case?

Thank you very much.

    You will need to change devicetree.dtb to match the differences between the ZC702 and the ZedBoard.

     

    The folks at Xillybus have an excellent tutorial on the devicetree. http://xillybus.com/tutorials/device-tree-zynq-1

     

    There is a previous post on the forum that might be helpful as well: http://zedboard.org/content/dts-syntax-and-interrupts-pl-under-linux

    Thanks for the quick response Gary!
    Both the links you mentioned is for linux OS.
    But I need to transfer data from PL to PS in a baremetal app.
    Please guide me.

    The reply was to the original post, which was about devicetree.dtb and booting from Linux.

     

    If you want to ask questions on a different topic it is best to start a new thread.
