Can not boot properly on my ZedBoard

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi every body,

I am trying to follow basic hello world tutorials: (tried Xilinx zynq-edk-advanced's lab5 and zb.org's 04_MicroZed_FSBL_Boot_2013_2_02, just with minor changes referencing zedboard's hardware instead of microzed's) and I can not get my ZedBoard to show any sign of life while using locally built images!
---------------my config-----------------
I am using software version 14.6 on 64 bits debian 7 linux server
I have an AVNET rev C board
I am all set to boot from SD: MIO5, MIO4 -> 3.3V the rest is set to GND, JP6 and JP13 are shortened, VADJ is set to 2.5V
-----------------------------------------
PS: when I use the prebuilt images from the net, it boot OK and every thing seems to work flawlessly! Once I use my university server to build any kind of application then download the .bin file, rename it to boot.bin and copy it to the freshly formatted 1GB SD card the board does not show any sign of life!!!

any lead please! it's an urgent matter!

    I forget to mention, as I am working on a remote server (using ssh -X command), I am unable to use JTAG connection :-/

    It sounds as if you might have generated a design for a MicroZed board. Make sure you use the ZedBoard presets in your design. You might want to use one of the Zynq Concept Tools and Techniques tutorials here at least as a starting point: http://www.zedboard.org/design/1521/11

     

    There have been issues with some SD cards, so you might want to make sure that is not your issue as well.

     

    Also, not sure why you have JP13 shorted.

    I made sure I referenced ZedBoard hardware and not microzed's all the way
    The issue is not SD card related since prebuilt images work fine!! the problem only occurs once I try to build images myself !

    Hi,

    I found the root of problem: There is something wrong with the FSBL automatically genereated in xsdk !

    I tried an other precompiled fsbl I found on the net and it worked fine for me.

    cheers,

    Hello, I have exactly the same problem.
    I was using SDK 14.7, Zedboard RevD.
    My own BOOT.bin files don't work, but already precompiled do!
    Did you find the way to generate a correct FSBL?

    Thanks in advance!
