This is the buildroot board support for the Avnet Zedboard. The Zedboard is a development board based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 based All-Programmable System-On-Chip. Zedboard information including schematics, reference designs, and manuals are available from http://www.zedboard.org . The U-Boot firmware for the Xilinx Zynq All Programmable SoC depends on some propietary code. This dependency consists of a pair of files are available from the Xilinx SDK installation. You will need these files from Xilinx SDK installation to generate the U-Boot firmware: ps7_init.c ps7_init.h Buildroot will create the following files and place them in the /images directory. zynq-zed.dtb rootfs.cpio.uboot uImage u-boot.img boot.bin uboot.bin -- U-Boot SPL w/ Xilinx boot.bin wrapper --------------------------------------------------- Due to licensing issues, the files ps7_init.c/h are not able to be distributed with the U-Boot source code. These files are required to make a boot.bin file. If you already have the Xilinx tools installed, the following sequence will unpack, patch and build the rfs, kernel, uboot, and uboot-spl. make zedboard_defconfig make uboot-patch cp ${XILINX}/ISE_DS/EDK/sw/lib/hwplatform_templates/zed_hw_platform/ps7_init.{c,h} \ output/build/uboot-xilinx-v2014.1/board/xilinx/zynq/ After copying these files into the U-Boot source tree, you can continue the build with: make *Notice* While the build will successfully complete without the ps7_init.* files, the uboot.bin file generated by this configuration will not function properly on the Zedboard. Therefore, it is imperative that the ps7_init.* files be copied into the U-Boot source tree any time the clean, or uboot-dirclean targets are made. Resulting system ---------------- A FAT32 partition should be created at the beggining of the SD Card and the following files should be installed: /boot.bin /devicetree.dtb /uImage /uramdisk.image.gz /u-boot.img All needed files can be taken from output/images/ boot.bin, uImage and u-boot.img are direct copies of the same files available on output/images/ devicetree.dtb is just zynq-zed.dtb renamed. uramdisk.image.gz is rootfs.cpio.uboot renamed
