using Xilinx SDK to build BOOT.bin

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

hello everyone:
here is a strange problem. i use the following steps to build BOOT.bin and an error occured:
(1)use PlanAhead to create a new project
(2)use XPS import zedboard_RevC_v1.xml
(3)close XPS using XPS launch SDK
(4)new Xilinx C Zynq FSBL project(Standalone)
(5)using the following options to create zynq boot image:
   Bif file:Create a new bif file...
   FSBL elf:F:FPGAtest3project_1.sdkSDKSDK_Exportzynq_fsbl_0Debugzynq_fsbl_0.elf
   Add:F:FPGAtest3u-boot.elf
   Output file:BOOT
   click Creat Image

then the error occured and the Console display like this:
   bootgen -image bootimage.bif -o i BOOT
   bootgen -image bootimage.bif -o i BOOT.mcs
ERROR:BootGen:1 - File ' FPGAtest3project_1.sdkSDKSDK_Exportzynq_fsbl_0Debugzynq_fsbl_0.elf' can not be found, or is busy.Please ensure that the file is available in the correct directiory location, or isn't being locking by another application.
it also has a popup window:
(An internal error occurred during:"Create Zynq Boot Image". java.lang.NullPointerException")

what is wrong ?

    I'm trying to generate BOOT.BIN  with these files:

    - zynq_fsbl0.elf
    - hw bitstream (PS + simple component in vhdl)
    - u-boot.elf

    Unfortunately I cannot see "zynq>", because it seems that booting phase stalls..Should I have to add some files? Do I have to modify the device tree?

    thank you

    Hi

    You probably do need to modify the device tree, specifically remove the OLED device since this will no longer be connected in your bitfile.  I'll give a link to Xilinx's (very brief) section on the device tree, if you need more help with it you should probably start a separate topic.

    regarding the problem that you have with the "Unable to read "zImage" from mmc 0:1":
    The solution is to rename zImage.bin that is the tutorial to zImage when it is stored to the Flash card.
