2013-05-14 Update

The initramfs has been updated. The original initramfs had been created with buildroot using an old toolchain. The reason for this was, that it appears to break globbing in busybox' ash shell when compiled with CodeSourcery >= 2012.09.As a result of using an old toolchain, the root filesystem was populated with shared libraries, incompatible with the 14.5/2013.01 toolchain. The issue seems to be only present when 'optimize for size' (-Os) is enabled. Therefore, the busybox config has been updated to use -O2 optimization and the whole root filesystem has been recreated using the 14.5/2013.1 toolchain. Also buildroot has been updated to the latest available version.

To boot this release from SD card, extract the archive to an SD card and copy the boot.bin and devicetree.dtb files appropriate for your Zynq platform to the root of the SD card.

Qemu

Qemu needs a initramfs without the U-Boot header. The U-Boot header can be removed from the uramdisk.image.gz with the following command:
dd if=./uramdisk.image.gz of=./ramdisk.image.gz skip=16 bs=4

Or just download the 14.5-qemu-ramdisk.image.gz file from above, on which this step has already been performed on.

This issue seems to be fixed in later version of U-Boot. U-Boot built from commit f12f87e205d5cd1c75a0d93770de54ffb8b14343 does not show this issue anymore.
