bootgen for Microblaze

[edadangtri]

Hi,

I am trying to create a .bin file from a .bit file and a .elf file for a Microblaze that is running in a Kintex KU065 part.  As far as I know, SDK only supports this operation for Zynq parts.  However, I have found that there is a bootgen utility in the SDK/bin folder of my Xilinx installation.  I created a .bif file that points to the .bit and .elf files, but when I run bootgen, I get the following error:

[ERROR] : Sequential addresses are going backwards!

What am I doing wrong?

Also, I'm using Vivado/SDK 2017.4

Thanks,
Dan

The MicroBlaze flow is to use updatemem to merge the .elf iand .bit into a .bit.   You can then convert that merged bitstream into a .bin

Do you have any documentation to guide me in this process?

Updatemem is discussed in UG898.   Bootgen in UG1283.
