Boot Problem

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi all,

I have a ZedBoard and I'd like to recompile u-boot and kernel from sources. These are the steps that I follow:
1. create a new PlanAhead project (RTL project) selecting ZedBoard
2. in the "Sources View" select "Design Sources" and then Add Sources
  a. select Add or Create Embedded Sources
  b. select Create Sub-Design (name = system)
3. In XPS create a base system using the Wizard
  a. select AXI system
  b. select ZedBoard
  c. BTNs_5Bits LEDs_8Bits and SWs_8Bits included in Processing System7
4. Close XPS tool
5. In PlanAhead create top HDL
6. Select Generate Bitstream in "Program and Debug" section of Flow Navigator

@@ I got these warnings: @@
[Constraints 18-5] Cannot loc instance 'processing_system7_0_PS_PORB_IBUF' at site B5, Site location is not valid [C:/Xilinx/Projects/ZedBoard/ZedBoard.srcs/sources_1/edk/system/implementation/system_processing_system7_0_wrapper.ncf:157]

7. Select Export -> Hardware to SDK and starts SDK tool
8. Create a new Zynq FSBL project and related SDK (zed_fsbl_0 project name)
9. Compile FSBL project
10. Compile u-boot cloning the GIT repository
  $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi- zynq_zc70x_config
  $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
11. Generate the new BOOT.BIN file using:
  zed_fsbl_0.elf  (binary)
  system.bit      (bitstream)
  u-boot.elf      (binary)
12. Copy the BOOT.BIN file into the SD card of the board

On boot I got this error:

I think that I miss some steps ... can anyone help me?

Do I need to recompile also the kernel and other elements?

Best Regards,
Alessandro.

    Hi EvidenceSrl,

    Looks like you are still using the Digilent OOB Linux kernel.  It looks like you created your PL and PS design from scratch rather than from the source.  I also did not see any mention of modifying the device tree so you might be reusing the one from the OOB demo.  If that is the case then Linux is probably attempting to initialize some PL peripherals that are not instantiated in your from scratch PL design, which may cause the kernel to lock up during boot as shown in your console output.

    I can think of two ways to move you forward, each depending on where you want to focus your design energy.

    The first path is to obtain the Digilent sources for the PL design which can be found on the Digilent site:

    http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,1028&Prod=ZEDBOARD

    The second path would be to modify your device tree by slowly removing device listings (especially ones in the PL) until your Linux boots to the command prompt.

    You could also recompile the kernel, but that may not make much difference until you modify the device tree and reduce your platform description to something more basic that matches your PL hardware design.

    Regards,

    -Kevin

    Hi,

    thanks for reply. I try to recompile the kernel from Xilinx repository using the xilinx_zynq_defconfig. On boot I receive this error:

    Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x1fb6ad84).

    Questions:
    - can I use the Xilinx kernel or I must use the Digilent kernel?
    - there is a default config for ZedBoard supported by Xilinx?

    Best Regards,
    Alessandro.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem, I also get the machine ID error. The r1 value changes a little each time I restart and try again. It also prints out that the compatible machine ID is B32 (hex), which shows up in the source code for both u-boot and Linux in a few places (as decimal 3378).

    I've built u-boot and the kernel from Xilinx's git repo, 14.3 build2 trd.

    (I also tried 14.2, no luck)
    Using ZED board, zynq_zed_config for u-boot and and xilinx_zynq_defconfig for Linux.

    I've seen this error in one or two other locations too, including here:
    http://www.zedboard.org/content/recompile-linux-kernel

    I tried loading my fresh compiled fsbl&u-boot with the stock zedboard zImage, and it got a lot further. This leads me to believe that the problem is with the configuration of Linux.

    Thanks,
    Mark Garrison

    Hello Mark,
    Did you ever solve your problem?  If so, what did you do?

    Hello,

    I noticed in the stack trace the current function being executed is xiic_clear_rx_fifo().  I recently upgraded from PetaLinux 3.1 to PetaLinux 12.12 for MicroBlaze, and found that my kernel would hang when trying to initialize the Xilinx I2C driver.  Further investigation revealed that xiic_clear_rx_fifo() was caught in an infinite loop.  After looking at the kernel tree maintained by Xilinx at Github, I found that the file /drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-xiic.c was patched in PetaLinux 3.1 to use 32-bit register accesses only (xiic_getreg32() and xiic_setreg32()), but in PetaLinux 12.12 the xiic_clear_rx_fifo() function uses the xiic_getreg8() function.  We applied the patch to our i2c-xiic.c file in PetaLinux 12.12 and everything was fixed.  The only mystery is why the patch did not make it into the source code maintained in Github.

    Original patch by Michal Simek:
    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.i2c/7896

    Github Xilinx I2C driver (not patched):
    https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/blob/master/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-xiic.c

    I hope this helps with your issue.
    -Kevin
