booting Linux (using petalinux tools) failure

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi Guys !



I am trying to boot Linux on a ZedBoard but the booting process stopped, hanging on "starting kernel" message.

(working on xapp1078)


I guess there is something wrong with the .dtc ? But I have no idea where exactly because I am a really newbi in all linux and petalinux tools.


Here are the different way I have followed to build BOOT.bin and uimage :

1. hardware design (vivado 2014.4) using tcl script provided in the updated version of the xapp1078 (xapp1078_2014.4 files)

2. software design (sdk 2014.4) : bsp and app for cpu running bare metal app

3. petalinux project :

create a project,

use the hardware file of the previous hardware design,

an dts si automatically generated

i have modified it to add the zedboard peripherals

i have also added two linux apps in the project

build the project (generate uimage, zynq_fsbl.elf, u-boot.elf)

create the boot.bin using the automatically generated zynq_fsbl.elf and u-boot provided in the images files

copy boot.bin and zynq_fsbl.elf on the SD card


thank you for any help !!

    Hi Aude,

      I would suggest that you try creating a standalone Linux system by using the ZedBoard 2014.4 BSP hosted on the Xilinx Support site:

    http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/petalinux.html

    You can follow Xilinx UG1156 for instructions on installing and working with PetaLinux BSPs.  Once you have Linux booting correctly on your ZedBoard, you can use that as a model for updating your design for XAPP1078.
