Build Flow Tutorials

PMU Firmware

The pmu_fw application is a bare-metal application that executes on the PMU MicroBlaze. It is loaded by the CSU early on in the boot process before the FSBL executes. The application's primary responsibility is to handle platform management.

• Create a new XSDK workspace.

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  % cd $TRD_HOME/pmu/pmu_fw % xsdk -workspace . &&

  
  

• Click 'Import Project' from the welcome screen, browse to the current working directory and make sure the pmu_fw, pmu_fw_bsp, and zcu102_base_trd_hw_platform projects are selected. Click Finish.
  
• Right-click the pmu_fw project and select 'Build Project'.

• Copy the generated pmu_fw executable into the PetaLinux BSP.

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  cp $TRD_HOME/pmu/pmu_fw/pmu_fw/Debug/pmu_fw.elf $TRD_HOME/apu/petalinux_bsp/images/linux

  
  

Petalinux BSP

This tutorial shows how to build the Linux image and boot image using the PetaLinux build tool.

• Configure the PetaLinux project.

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  % cd $TRD_HOME/apu/petalinux_bsp % petalinux-config --get-hw-description=./hw-description --oldconfig

  
  

• Select the device-tree matching design module 5 and build all Linux image components

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  % cd subsystems/linux/configs/device-tree % cp system-dm1.dts system-top.dts % petalinux-build % cd -

  
  

• Create a boot image.

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  % cd images/linux % petalinux-package --boot --bif=dm1.bif --force

  
  

• Copy the generated boot image and Linux image to the dm1 SD card directory.

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  % mkdir -p $TRD_HOME/images/dm1 % cp BOOT.BIN image.ub $TRD_HOME/images/dm1

Run Flow Tutorial

• See here for board setup instructions.
• Copy all the files from the $TRD_HOME/images/dm1 SD card directory to a FAT formatted SD card.
• Power on the board to boot the images; make sure all power rail LEDs are lit green.
• The user can now see the linux-boot on the serial console:
  

• Upon completion of the linux-boot, use the below login and password to log into the framebuffer or serial console:

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  root@Xilinx-ZCU102-2016_3 login: root password: root

  
  

• The SD card file system is mounted at /media/card
