New zed board is not booting from SD card despite jumper configuration.

fluxinduction

I've been following this guide for initial setup of the zedboard: 

GS-AES-Z7EV-7Z020-G-V7-1.pdf (avnet.com)

I cannot get past step 8 of section 5.  The zedboard never successfully boots.  I do have another SD card, and that doesn't boot either.  

I've also been referencing the hardware guide:

 ZedBoard_HW_Users_Guide (digilent.com)

What is causing this?  This board is brand new, just unwrapped.

    Yessir, follow the readme closely. You have to move some files around to get it to work correctly. The readme will tell you what to do exactly.

    I was able to get an SD card to boot by following the readme in the sd card files supplied by the mfg.  Ironically the card from mfg does not boot but ADI-Kuiper-Linux does.  Ultimately that was my goal but I am still perplexed as to why AVNET's supplied SD cards do not work.  Wrong image, maybe?

    I seem to be having the same issue. Can you explain how you were able to solve it?

    Yes, I used the image from adi-kuiper-linux instead of what came with the board.  The original board SD card just didn't work, period.

    My SD card is also not working. Is this the image you used?

    I followed the instructions from the README copying the folders from the target to the root directory. I also moved the uimage from zynq-common. I used zynq-zed-adv7511. The image still didn't boot. Is that the right target or is there something else I am missing? The README doesn't point out which zynq-zed target to use for the Zedboard.
