I'm attempting to boot my own linux build on ultraZed from an SD card (similar to this). I'm fairly new to configuring boot, so may be doing something not intelligent.
I create the project, configure root fs type (as pg 41 ug1144) and dtb image settings (as linked post) to SD card. Make a small change to the rootfs (allow TCF debugging dropbear) and build it all.
My problem I think is in the packaging. I've tried various versions of the following command to build the BOOT.BIN.
petalinux-package --boot --fsbl zynqmp_fsbl.elf --fpga myBits.bit --pmufw pmufw.elf --u-boot --kernel
Regardless of what I do after my FSBL and u-boot, it boots the Linux that came on the board from Avnet. The build date of the FSBL and the FPGA lights shows me it's using my SD card (formated with 4mb empty before and 2 partitions; fat32 and ext4), but then loads the pre-built linux.

The boot source is determined by hardware pins, not software. Check with your board designer, they should have either a jumper, DIP switch, or some mechanism for selecting the boot source.
As a temporarily software solution, you can halt uboot and tell it to continue booting by another means. However this will still use the FSBL, u-boot and potentially the bitfile from you vendor. You can switch to your own kernel, devicetree and rootfs this way. But to fully swich, you have to change the hardware pins that select the boot source.

I can select the boot source with switches connected to the pins (SW2 Table 2-4 SD). It definitely uses the SD card.
I paused the autoboot and tried bootm, this gives me the following.
Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image!
According to UG1144 Table 1-9 (pg 33) this is a common error and may be fixed by changing the environment variable bootcmd, which didn't work. So, I followed the other fix, basically start again. Both it and Configuring SD Card ext filesystem Boot (pg 48) complete fine. This time, when I run and pause the bootloader, the bootcmd variable is set correctly to "run sdboot", but on using bootm I get the above output.
I think the problem must be how I'm packaging everything together and where. I put BOOT.BIN (containing the FSBL, PMU firmware, FPGA bitstream and u-boot) and image.ub (the kernel) in the boot partition on the card. I also put the rootfs.ext4 or rootfs.cpio in the rootfs partition.
As I understand it, BOOT.BIN is loaded which starts at the FSBL. This sets the FPGA and PMU. Then u-boot takes over and brings up hardware and starts the kernel. What I don't get is where u-boot gets the kernel's location from (and why it isn't finding the supplied one). I presume petalinux configures it to look on the the SD card for a image.ub, but, in my case, as it doesn't find one it looks elsewhere, finds the stock one somewhere in flash and boots it.
The boot output is now the following when I stop autoboot.

I believe you may be on to it. Loading the files manually and then trying to boot seems to get closer (additionally I simplified my approach, now only using a single partition).
My issue now is the formatting of the ramdisk, I've tried both cpio and ext4 (build by current config), but corrupt or invalid is reported as follows.

Any ideas on which format I should be using, I understood cpio to be standard?

It lives!
Thanks for all the help.
For the record, I needed to set the rootfs type to INITRD, not sure why INITRAMFS or SD didn't work, an issue for another day.
I've marked the the answer about manual loading as the solution, as it was most of the solution for me. I only need to load the image.ub and then boot it, to get it working. I'll update with why autoboot wasn't selecting the SD card, when (if) I figure it out.
10-08-2017 01:43 AM
The file image.ub contains the dtb and the file system as such you can just use u-boot to load in the image.ub and then run the bootm command with the address you loaded it to.

Hi,
I have the same problem, also using the UltraZed. I managed to stop the boot process and boot manually from SD card, just as you did, but I don't see this as a long-term solution. Did you manage to figure out how to make it boot from the SD card automatically?
Thanks.

Hi,
I did fix it (not necessarily repeatably), haven't worked on it too much lately though.
After initially trying to fix it, I went on to doing other things with the kernel. Eventually when I came back to it, I completely rebuilt it for unrelated reasons and it worked. In between it working and not working, a few things had changed (different version of the HDF, options in other parts of the kernel, OpenAMP, QT etc. and possibly things I forgot about).
My fix was the following according to my own documentation:
--To boot from SD card go into Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings → Advanced bootable images storage Settings → boot image settings and select SD, kernel image settings → image storage media → SD, dtd image settings → from SD
--Prepare the SD card
Extract rootfs.cpio to the second partition
--Put the SD card in, set the boot mode switches (SW6) to 1:1 2:0 3:0 4:0 (according to ug1182 pg 19)
Probably nothing you haven't tried

OK so it turns out to be a known issue, here is the work around: https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/69780.html
That fixed it for me.
