How to Merge bit file and elf in zynq design to create single bit file

[sreejitht]

Hi,

Anyone know how to merge bit file and application elf file to create a single bit file?

I'm using Zynq in my design.  When I tried to Associate ELF in Vivado, it  shows an error message as no user accessible processors found.

Is there any way to merge both?

Thanks,

Sreejith

Hi @sreejitht,

It is not possible to merge the bit file and elf in case of zynq. Could you please let me know why you are looking for merging bit and elf incase of Zynq? 

Zynq has hard core ARM processors and they are independent  of PL (fabric). we will merge the bit file and elf in case of micro blaze which is a soft core processor.

Are you referring to an elf to associate to a Microblaze in the PL or an elf for A53/R5 processors?
