Trouble building PetaLinux

chrisp_002

Hi all,

 

Currently trying to get to grips with the MiniZed. Trying to get my head around how PetaLinux and Vivado are used in order to work towards bespoke utilization of the Zynq7000S.

 

At the moment I am trying to create build a new PetaLinux system image, after having modified the Kernel configuration to include additional drivers I need for my application. I have used the following process so far, executed in the order described below..

 

Downloaded the BSP..

'Creating a PetaLinux 2017.2 BSP used for Booting from QSPI and eMMC'

Sucessfully created a new PetaLinux project using the .bsp file included.

Used 'petalinux-config --get-hw-description' to reference the HDF file included in the aformentioned BSP package download.

Used 'petalinux-config -c kernel' to add additional drivers required for my project.

Used 'petalinux-build' to build a new system image.

 

As far as I know, I am executing the steps above in the correct order. However, during the petalinux-build I am getting errors.

The log containing the first error reads as follows..

Although I am working toward a solution, I am currently unable to resolve this issue. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

 

Cheers,

Chris.

    FYI, I am using PetaLinux 2017.4 (and also have Vivado 2017.4 installed)

    Hi Chris,

    Have you taken a look at our integrating Sensors on MiniZed with Petalinux Speedway?

    http://zedboard.org/support/trainings-and-videos

    Thats where I would start.

    Had a look through it, didn't help an awful lot.. though I feel I'm slowly starting to pickup a bit more on the overall process. 

    I think most of the problem is due to lack of a guide that goes from scratch through to an implemtented Petalinux system. All the guides I have found seem to gloss over different parts of the process, prompting the user to download and use pre-provided files.

    One document, detailing a from-scratch to a bootable petalinux system, using no pre-provided files would be far more helpful than wading through all available documentation, trying to piece it together.

    Chris,

    There are WIKI entries on Xilinx's with that level of detail with their kits and the above linked Tutorial is a generate from scratch tutorial.  When scripting is provided in Avnet tutorials, it is there to allow a user to pick and choose the amount of detail they want to go through.

    I'll give it all a look, and try going through that tutorial again. I think maybe I need to dig into the material a bit more by the sound of it.

     

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    Well, turns out it was never gonna work.

    Apparently in 2017.3/4 device tree generation doesn't build for single-core zynq devices, pretty big deal really. 

    A patch was required.. https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/70402.html

    Petalinux is building fine now. 

    Chris.

    Hi,

    I use petalinux-v2017.2 to build project as following command line.

    a. petalinux-create -t project --template zynq --name dacTest
    b. cd dacTest
    c. petalinux-config --get-hw-description=/mnt/shared/DAC
    d. petalinux-build
     
    But one error occurs as following.

    Any solution will be grateful.

    BTW, how to attach my hdf file? I doubt my hdf file is the problem.
