Not able to boot Linux from SD card

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all,

I am trying to boot Linux from SD card on a Zedboard rev C. I'm able to successfully boot Linux using the files provided with the Zedboard (OOB design), but not with those generated by PetaLinux. I know for sure that the image created by PetaLinux works correctly as I have used it many times on a different Zedboard. I have also checked that all the jumpers are in the correct position.

Any ideas or suggestions?


Thanks,

David

    I am having a really hard time trying to get this working. I have even fallen back to PetaLinux 2013.10 and have followed the instruction in AR# 58611. However, I am still unable to boot PetaLinux. I don't get any output on the remote terminal. Is there anything further that needs to be taken into account for a rev C ZedBoard (ES silicon)?

    Thank you,

    David

    I have also tried booting PetaLinux from JTAG using SDK's XMD console. I'm getting the following error:

    XMD% dow C:/Users/dperlaza.HIMA_WA/ftp/linux/u-boot.elf

    What am I missing here?


    Thanks,
