titlePrepare the SD Card

For the PetaLinux BSP Prebuilt image go to the xilinx-vck190-2020.2/prebuilt/images directory. There are 3 files to copy to the SD card.

  • BOOT.BIN

  • boot.scr

  • image.ub

Copy these files to the SD card.

For the PetaLinux OOB you will have to format the SD card. r programming the SD card use the instructions on How to format SD card for SD boot page. (might what to update the page on extracting the rootfs on the partition directly). The files that you will need are in the xilinx-vck190-2020.2/prebuilt/linux/OOB_Images (change name?). The files are:

  • BOOT.BIN

  • boot.scr

  • Image

  • rootfs.cpio

The SD card needs to be partitioned into 2 sections and the first 3 files go on the fat32 partition and the rootfs.cpio goes on the ext4 parition. Since this is a .cpio compressed file and un-compressing the file directly to the SD card is recommended. Once you have mounted the SD card and changed to that directory the command to un-compress the file is

  • cpio -idv -V <path to file>/rootfs.cpio

You might need to do this with a sudo or sudo cpio -idv -V <path to file>/rootfs.cpio

For either method once this is done put the SD card into the Versal uSD card slot in the Board Setup Diagram.

The Board evaluation and management (BEAM) tool is the main menu of the System Controller. It primarily serves as a launcher for demos and designs, running the board interface test and to set/change/read board parameters. Make sure that you have the pre-programmed micro SD card plugged into the SD slot (SysCtrl) before running any test or set/change/read board parameters. 

The BEAM tool is currently in OPEN BETA, please follow the instructions provided in the link below to proceed with the tool.
