Downloads

The following downloads are provide for production boards. The Linux Image Archive contains the pre-built Linux images for the board platform. The BSP Download contains the PetaLinux BSP required to initialize a PetaLinux project.

These pre-built images, source code and configurations are provided for demonstration purposes only and may not be suitable outside of a development environment, including for production purposes.

Prior to production and deployment of any Linux-based system, it is recommended that all relevant security updates are applied, and a mechanism for in-field updates is made available throughout the lifetime of the relevant product

The files provided in the pre-built image (.tar.xz) file will boot into a minimal Linux userspace environment that is useful for proof-of-life demonstration or as a recovery environment. For a full-featured Linux userspace environment, please download the PetaLinux BSP image (.bsp) file and program the SD card image (.wic).
