How to archive Petalinux project?

[wzab]

In Vivado there is a special function in the menu "File->Archive project" that allows me to create a minimized archive with all information needed to recreate the project on the same or another machine.

Is there a similar functionality in Petalinux?

Maybe there is at least a detailed recipe what fiels and directories should I store in my archive (probably config.project, project-spec, and what else?), and how should I adjust paths after unpacking the archive in another machine and another directory?

TIA & Regards,

Wojtek

Hi @wzab,

In PetaLinux you can archive the project files by creating .bsp as described in UG1144 docs. Below is the command.

$ petalinux-package --bsp -p <plnx-proj-root> --hwsource <path-to-hw-project-root> --output <plnx-project-bsp-name>.bsp

In fact the typical Petalinux project after "petalinux-build -x mrproper" is very small, and may be efficiently packaged as "tar.bz2" or "tar.xz".
