Building Own Linux Kernel of Zedboard on SD card

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

1. I created FSBL.elf from Xilinx SDK 14.7
2. On linux host pc,
   I created two folders u-boot-xlnx and linux-xlnx on one folder BuildZynq from git.xilinx.com
3. Then i make the u-boot-xlnx by typing command
make -j zynq_zed on linux os
4. After that i created linux kernel from exporting u-boot-xlnx like
export PATH=/<>/u-boot-xlnx/tools:$PATH
5. Then i typed    make ARCH=arm xilinx_zynq_defconfig
6. After that
make -j4 ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage
7. After finishing on terminal uImage is ready displayed
8. Then i Created uarm_ramdisk_image.gz from arm_ramdisk_image.gz
9. Then i creatd devicetree .dtb file like zynq_zed.dtb by typing command
make ARCH=arm zynq_zed.dtb

10. On LINUX host PC After all success i created one folder BuildImage and I manually pasted the files
u-boot, uImage, uarm_ramdisk_image.gz and zynq_zed.dtb files

11. Now i Came to Windows HOST machine
In windows i created FSBL.elf from FSBL project which is under zed_hw_platform(predefined)

12. Now i wanna create zynq boot image
In SDK 14.7 when i click create zynq boot image
     In Boot Image Partitions sdk automatically select the bootloader as FSBL.elf and then i added the u-boot file after renamed as u-boot.elf. Hence there are two files
u-boot.elf
FSBL.elf
By using these two files i created one image file its default storage location is /bootimage/output.bin
Then i renamed as BOOT

13. After that i took 4GB SANDISK SDHC card which has file system FAT32 with the total availability space is 3.69GB

14. In this I pasted the files of BuildImage folder

BOOT
uImage
uarm_ramdisk_image.gz (RAR file)
zynq_zed.dtb

15. Now i inserted the SD card into my ZEDBOARD(REV D)
and i setup the SD card boot mode by connecting jumpers j9 and j10 to 3v3 and sig.

16. After switch On the board i didn't get any DONE led glow and i didn't get anything on TERATERM window



Note: Before doing this experiment I pasted all the files of Prebuilt SD card of ZEDBOARD which was coming at purchasing of my Zedboard into my new SD Card
Then it worked.

Whenever i pasted my own kernel it won't work and it didn't give any crash or any errors but DONE led didn't glow and no information on TERATERM help me Is there any wrong steps while creating any file ON ZEDBOARD FLATFORM............

Send me detail information regarding Creating Zedboard Kernel Image.......

Thanks

Regards,
Sekhar
