Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I use u-boot-digilent-2012.04-digilent-13.01.zip and linux-digilent-3.6-digilent-13.01.zip .

I compiled u-boot-digilent-2012.04-digilent-13.01.zip to obtain my own uboot.elf.With my system.bit and fsbl.elf,I creat my BOOT.BIN.Also compile linux-digilent-3.6-digilent-13.01.zip to obtain my own zImage and devicetree.dtb.
and I use official ramdisk8M.image.gz from digilent.

But I cannot boot linux on my zedboard ,the system stopped here(BELOW LOG) , booting the kernel failed.
WHY?whats the problem?

    Avnet does not provide any support for Digilent Embedded Linux. The Digilent distribution is intended only for students. Please contact your professor or Digilent support at support@digilentinc.com
     
    Please refer to https://github.com/Xilinx for ZedBoard Linux.
