Creating boot image Quad SPI flash memory

Hello Yahniukov,

The same procedure that was used to create your .bin SD card image is the same to create the .mcs QSPI boot image. All you have to change is for it to be the .mcs file format. Are you saying that it never generated the file or that after you programmed it to flash it never booted from QSPI?

I mean it never booted from QSPI after programmed it to flash.

I saw this during booting from SD: /sites/default/files/u132941/qspi_boot_picozed_screen.PNG

That's screen from Create Boot Image: /sites/default/files/u132941/qspi_create_boot_image_partitions_screen.PNG

That's screen from Program flash: /sites/default/files/u132941/qspi_program_mcs.PNG

I set the files in Create Boot Image in the not correct order?
Or I set wrong files?
Do I should indicate the address QSPI in window Create Boot Image as on the first picture?

Then I tried this structure of .bif file (SD structure like):

the_ROM_image:
{
    [bootloader]D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\zynq_fsbl_0.elf
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\system.bit
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\u-boot-picozed.elf
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\uEnv.txt
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\uImage
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\devicetree.dtb
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\Card-Filesystem-Repair\uramdisk.image.gz
}

It doesn't help me too. Linux is not booting and FPGA is not programmed

Hello Yahniukov,

Take a look at this Video https://www.xilinx.com/video/soc/create-zynq-boot-image-using-xilinx-sdk.html

In particular take a look aroung minute 5:43, it shows how the .mcs file is setupt in the SDK Create Zynq Boot Image.

Up

The problem doesn't gone

I dont know how to boot Picozed (Linux and PL) from QSPI

Anybody tried to do that?

Sorry I didn't see your message and wrote the previous post. Thank you! Later I will tell about result.

So, there's result:

1) I done everything what I saw in the video

2) There is my .bif file:

the_ROM_image:
{
    [bootloader]D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\zynq_fsbl_0.elf
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_10\hdl_master\projects\pzsdr\ccfmc\ccfmc_pzsdr.runs\impl_1\system_top.bit
    D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\u-boot-picozed.elf
    [offset = 0x600000]D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\uImage
    [offset = 0x970000]D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\devicetree.dtb
    [offset = 0x990000]D:\yahniukov\files\documents\task_9_FPGA_Implemetation_from_Simulink\boot_files\Card-Filesystem-Repair\uramdisk.image.gz
}

3) It doesn't work. PL is configured but Linux is not booting. (/sites/default/files/u132941/boot_linux_failed.PNG)

4) Am I doing right that I use default Picozed's fsbl or I should change it if I changed .bit file?

Hi Yahniukov,

I don't see what the offset is within your BIF for the PL Bitstream file, system_top.bit, where is that file located in memory within the Flash?  According to your screenshot, it looks like you are trying to load the Bistream from U-Boot from Flash offset 0x1300000, but I think that it would already be loaded by the FSBL so that step should not be necessary, correct?

Can you please post what your U-Boot environment variables look like?

Regards,

-Kevin

Yes, after switching on power on the board PL is configured by system_top.bit and I don't know why u-boot try to see another .bit
I tried to set .bit offset in .bif file equals 0x1300000 (see content of .bif file below) but during boot the same situation.
the_ROM_image:
{
    [bootloader]zynq_fsbl_0.elf
    u-boot-picozed.elf
    [offset = 0x100000]uImage
    [offset = 0x600000]devicetree.dtb
    [offset = 0x620000]uramdisk.image.gz
    [offset = 0x1300000]system_top.bit
}
It's not me created u-boot.elf. I found it on SD card with Picozed SDR SOM 2x2. And I don't know how I can see u-boot environment variables. Can you tell me please?
