Programming QSPI Without SD card

Hi,

I am trying to program the QSPI without using the SD card. I am aware that I can use JTAG and I want to; however, in the boot guide 14.1 doc, it states to still use the SD to load BOOT.BIN.

Programming the QSPI via SD is really simple (fatload then sf write) and all you need is BOOT.BIN, zImage, ramdisk.image.gz, and devicetree.dtb.

Can someone outline how to program the QSPI via JTAG or USB using the same programming approach as SD (not having to use the SDK)?

Hi pkaye,

I just wanted to clear something up that is not clear from the thread here. Are you running Linux on your ZedBoard? If so, you can FTP the desired QSPI components to the Root File System and then write those files to the MTD partitions with the flashcp command. We are doing this today for MicroZed and there is a reference design tutorial posted that covers the MTD write process.

If you are not running Linux, do you have access to Ethernet? If so, you can TFTP files into memory first and then "sf write" like you are used to.

Take a look at this Wiki page to see how this is done on other Zynq target boards for PL reconfig.
