Boot Linux from QSPI on microzed 7010

Former Member

Hi,

   Is it possible to have a Boot image of type(*.mcs) with SSBL files for Linux ? Or is this an issue with the size of the QSPI on the board ? I see the Linux SD image is available for download but not a QSPI version and I would like to have the board boot up linux from the QSPI device.  

Thank you.

    Sorry Bryan,
    I'm more of a hardware guy so please bear with me. My understanding is a that a BSP is the board support package which gives you all the drivers to develop applications on a particular board. I'm not sure how this ties in with what I'm trying to do ?

      So far by using Xilinx SDK I have been able to create a boot image partitioned with an FSBL.elf , the PL bit file and my application software .elf file. With this image I programmed the QSPI on the board. It powers up and boots standalone and all runs fine.
    Now I would like to add a Linux 2nd stage boot loader, Kernel, Device Tree and Ramdisk file to the boot image partition and program the QSPI.  So far I have seen these files are available for download to create an image for programming an SD card but not for a QSPI device.

      Are you saying these files are available for a PetaLinux version ?  I followed the link you gave me but it was very unclear to me.
