Announcing New PetaLinux 2019.2 BSP for Ultra96-V2

narrucmot

Hi Everyone,

 

Avnet has just released the PetaLinux 2019.2 BSP for the Ultra96-V2 board:

 

This BSP includes working WiFi and access point to ease configuration for connecting to the user's WLAN.  Instructions for this can be found in the Ultra96-V2 Getting Started Guide.

 

This BSP also includes the logic pieces in the programmable logic (PL) fabric to allow it to be used as the basis for a Xilinx Vitis platform to allow users to create custom accelerators or experiment with the provided examples.  There is currently a known issue that Vitis accelerators that require an interrupt may not work correctly, and an update to fix this is currently being developed.  Accelerators like the vector addition example, though, are known to work and can be used as a good way to get started using Vitis.

 

Instructions for how to install this BSP can be found in Xilinx UG1144.

 

Ready-to-boot Linux OS binaries are provided in the pre-built folder of the installed BSP and can be copied and extracted to a micro-SD card.  This Xilinx wiki page has good instructions for preparing a micro-SD card for use with the Ultra96-V2 board.   Once the micro-SD card has been partitioned and formatted copy the boot.bin and image.ub files to the FAT32 partition and extract the rootfs to the ext4 partition:

$ cp BOOT.BIN /path/to/mounted/SD_card_FAT32/.

$ cp image.ub  /path/to/mounted/SD_card_FAT32/.

$ sudo rm -rf /path/to/mounted/SD_card_ext4/* (Only if the partition is not empty.  THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE FILES IN THE EXT4 PARTITION!)

$ sudo tar xvf rootfs.tar.gz -C  /path/to/mounted/SD_card_ext4/.

 

Before ejecting the micro-SD card make sure the file buffers are emptied:

$ sync; sync

$ sudo eject /dev/<SD_card_device> (e.g. /dev/sdf1)

 

Stay tuned for further PetaLinux BSP and Vitis platform updates for the Ultra96-V2 and UltraZed SOMs.
