SD boot not working

Ratin
Ratin 10 months ago

I created the Petalinux image by first creating the Vivado (2022.1) project from script that came with HDL 2022.1 brnach repo, and then importing the xsa in petalinux, then tried to boot off the SD card burnt with the generated wic image but the system does not boot, all I get are whole bunch of LEDs lighting up including the white LED and nothing show up on the COM port. 

In the boot.scr I see the options for booting off the mmc0 and mmc1 -

"if test "${boot_target}" = "mmc0" || test "${boot_target}" = "mmc1" || test "${boot_target}" = "usb0" || test "${boot_target}" = "usb1"; then"

is this case asserted when SD boot mode is selected?

In this case copying the boot.scr, kernel, dtb and rootfs.cpio.gz.u-boot rendered the exact behavior, all LEDs kighting up when the boot switch is pressed. The COM port for it shows up but nothing gets printed. Please suggest.

QSPI works and its launching the RTOS where i'm able to turn on/off LEDs. Noe that I've purchased the recommended PSU for it so power should not be an issue. 

If anybody could suggest a download site where SD boot image files are located, and a method to burn the image, I would appreciate it. 

thank you

    Here is a link to Sharepoint with BSPs: Engineering & Technology - Documentation - public_release - All Documents

    Mario Bergeron does a good job over at Hackster.IO with different projects targeting the ZUBoard: ZUBoard - Building the foundational designs - Hackster.io

    You can also search for ZUBoard on Hackster.IO to see other projects that target that board.

    Also - there is a training class here on Element14: (+) Avnet Boards Training - element14 Community

    Sorry I don't have a direct image to provide you, but when you do get your image created there are instructions on using BalenaEtcher to generate the SD card here: Balena_Etcher_Instructions_v1p0.pdf

    Hi iksevas thanks for that, I am not in avnet's share point aparently, as I get this:

    That didn't work

    We're sorry, but blah@blah.com can't be found in the avtinc.sharepoint.com directory. Please try again later, while we try to automatically fix this for you.

    how to add my email in avnet's sharepoint directory? 

    I will try those other kackster.io links you provided at a later time. I just want to get something to boot with that works on this board for now. 

    thanks

    Hi  Ratin ,

    I'll talk with the Community development team and see if there's somewhere we can accommodate these files for Community members.

    I'm not entirely familiar with these files, so direction on version/year/bsps you require would help to prioritise what I can make available. I'm guessing 2022.1 ?

    Thank you, yes 2022.1 is the version I used to generate mine and they did not work. So if I can prove someone else's version works, then I can compare with mine, perhaps mixing and matching and try to isolate the issue that way. Ultimately I need to figure out why the board is not booting with my built binaries. Although since all the LEDs light up, it seems like its doing something.

    Yes the sharepoint link worked. Also I found the little tab at the bottom of the ZUBoard page - I can't believe I didn't see that tab all this time! Its hiding in the corner there :) Just burnt the stock image binaries on a PNY 32 GB MicroSD card and boot off it - same result. All LEDs got lit, On the development PC where the board is connected to via JTAG/USB, COM port initially doesn't show up but shows up when reset button is pressed next to MicroSD card, then all lights come up, nothing gets printed on the putty console. Disappointing, I have two boards so I will try the other board.

    This is where I save instructions for running Linux on the ZUBoard.  

    https://github.com/hdlguy/zuboard.git

    I did have trouble finding a compatible usb-c power source.  Also, there is an unexpected button that must be pressed to enable power on the board.
