Versal Evaluation Boards
Pre-Built Release Images
The pre-built images referenced here are for the AMD evaluation boards. These can be loaded on to SD Cards on the AMD evaluation boards and you can boot Linux. The Pre-Built Releases Images page includes images for Versal, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC and Zynq-7000.

Board Support Packages (BSP)
PetaLinux Board Support Packages (BSP) and Reference Examples include pre-built boot loaders, system images and bitstreams. Built-in tools allow a single command to deploy and boot these elements to either physical hardware, or to the included full QEMU system emulator. With PetaLinux, developers can have their AMD-based hardware booted and running within about 5 minutes after installation; ready for application, library and driver development.
...
Each board also comes with a PetaLinux BSP that includes an image, documentation to recreate that image and a design that can be used as a starting point for the hardware user. There is one BSP for each board above. They are called PetaLinux BSPs since the AMD PetaLinux tool is used to create these images. You can download the PetaLinux BSPs by going to the AMD.com PetaLinux Download page. Please note that you will need a http://amd.com login to download these files.
Embedded Design Tutorial (EDT)
The Embedded Design Tutorial provides an introduction to using the AMD® Vivado® Design Suite flow for using the Versal Adaptive SoC. The latest versions of the EDT use the Vitis™ Unified Software Platform.

Targeted Reference Designs (TRDs)
Targeted Reference Designs (TRDs) are built to demonstrate various aspects of the Versal architecture and its functionality with evaluation board interfaces. From machine learning and video processing to integrated PCIe block and 100G Ethernet IP, TRDs are the fastest way to explore the capabilities of Versal devices.

Board evaluation and management (BEAM) tool
The Board evaluation and management (BEAM) tool is a System Controller based tool for enhanced out-of-the-box experience for Versal Evaluation Kit. It primarily serves as a launcher for demos and designs, running the board interface test and to set/change/read board parameters.
For the latest release information and instructions for BEAM, please refer to this page here: Versal Evaluation Board - System Controller

ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF) provides a reference to secure software for ARMv8-A architecture and it provides implementations of various interface standards like PSCI(Power State Coordination Interface) and Secure monitor code for interfacing to Normal world software. Xilinx AMD ARM trusted firmware is based on arm trusted firmware at https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware .
Xilinx AMD ARM Trusted Firmware tree will be released and available at https://github.com/Xilinx/arm-trusted-firmware .

U-Boot, short for Universal Boot Loader, is an open source, primary boot loader used in embedded devices to boot the device's operating system kernel that is frequently used in the Linux community. Xilinx AMD uses U-Boot as a second stage boot loader in the Versal Adaptive SoC devices. For more information about U-Boot visit their page at U-Boot Documentation.
...
Since Linux is the primary OS that people start with on the Versal Adaptive SoC devices, there is more information on it at the Linux page. This includes the two different build tools used to create customer distributions. XilinxAMD's PetaLinux and Yocto, an open-source project that is part of the Linux Foundation. The Linux page also describes how to build your own Linux from the source, and links to information about the Linux drivers that AMD provides.
