Problem Booting from SD Card

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 12 years ago

I am running ISE 14.4. I have created a couple of simple projects that I can run successfully from SDK on the ZED board. One of the projects, for example, is from Xilinx application note UG873(v14.4) - Concepts, Tools, and Techniques. This project is the "Embedded System Design Using PS and PL" in chapter 3. The design uses AXI GPIO and AXI Timer with interrupt.

I am now trying to run the project from the SD card. I built the first stage boot loader and the boot image for the SD card successfully. I copied the boot image, BOOT.BIN, to the SD card so that BOOT.BIN is the only file on the SD card, reconfigured the ZED jumpers for SD booting, and attempted to boot from the SD card. But nothing happens. I don't see the blue LED light when the FPGA is programmed successfully. I know the SD card works because I can reinstall the original boot files for Linux and boot successfully.

I also tried booting the other project that I created, from the SD card, but get the same result.

    Did you include the bitstream when you created boot.bin? What order did you put the FSBL, .bit, and your application?
