MicroZed - how to boot from SD card

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,
i have done a lot of reading regarding the MicroZed SD card boot but still cannot manage.

All of the information seems to be for the ZedBoard. Where could i find a boot.bin file for the MicroZed?

As i understand the boot.bin will contain the u-boot, fsbl and PL bitstream.

The getting started states the following:
Download and unzip the MicroZed_Linux_sd_image archive from www.microzed.org.

This image, however will not boot. Nothing will appear in the console.

Regards

    Have you verified that you have the USB-UART driver installed correctly and a terminal program (terra term or putty) configured on your host PC by booting from the factory QSPI image as described in the MicroZed Getting Started Guide found here?:

    http://www.zedboard.org/support/documentation/1519

     

    If you have verified your console/terminal connections as described make sure that you have set the MicroZed Boot Jumers (JP3-JP1) to boot from the microSD card. When you attempt to boot from the microSD card does the blue 'Done' LED (D2) come on to indicate that the Zynq device has been configured?

     

    Note that the MicroZed Linux microSD Card Image Archive is for a 7010 MicroZed. If you have a 7020 MicroZed you will need to us another image.

    Could you be more specific on the link that is broken so that we can fix it?

     

    While there is not a Linux uSD card image posted for the MicroZed 7020 you could download the tutorial on programming Linux into the QSPI Flash on the MicroZed 7020:

     http://zedboard.org/sites/default/files/design/MicroZed_7020_Open_Source_Linux_In_System_QSPI_Programming_14_5_02-Tutorial.zip

     

    In the tutorial you load a Linux image, along with a script file, init.sh, onto a uSD card to perform the QSPI programming. If you image the uSD card as directed but do not copy (or delete) the init.sh file you should have a bootable Linux image for your MicroZed 7020.
