No PetaLinux projects found in the BSP

[justinlh]

My working environment is as follows: Im running windows 7 which has a VM running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. All development work is being done in the Linux environment.

Im trying to build a new boot image for the zynq zc702 board from custom hardware architecture created in vivado.

I am currently able to do so using the http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Getting+Started guide. But for future development I felt that going towards petalinux will make things easier in the long run.

The guide I am using to help achieve this is UG980 (v2013.10) PetaLinux SDK User Guide Board Bringup Guide. I proceed through it and create the fsbl from the system.xml and .bit files generated from vivado. I then create a new BSP designating the OS to be petalinux, Hardware Platform is custom. Under the BSP Settings I mimic the instructions as closely as possible. When finished it goes ahead and builds this BSP.

I then open a terminal window, verify that "echo $PETALINUX" returns the location of the petalinux directory when I installed it. I run "petalinux-create -t project -s /directory/pointing/to/newly/create/bsp" and it returns the error that no PetaLinux projects found in the BSP"

- also as a side note, should i expect petalinux to compile/build/package everything i need to put on the sd card for my boot image? or should i expect to take the results given and wrap it myself with the u-boot it creates?

Few things to check BEFORE THIS:

1. source /opt/pkg/petalinux-v2013.10-final/settings.sh

2. A valid license exists

3. if they are pre-built bsp in petalinux, we point to the .bsp directly.

You can look at the following thread for custom bsps.

Thanks for the quick reply,

So here's an update.. Apparently I missed it but the prebuilt bsp's are not located in the petalinux installation package but are available for download separately. Once i found that mistake of mine it builds just fine.

Thanks for the link about custom built bsp's.

Thanks for your update. That helps for the users hitting this problem.

Please mark the thread solved.

justinlh where did you get the prebuilt BSP from?

This page does not contain any prebuilt bsp's for the MicroZed. Where could i find a .bsp for the Avnet MicroZed?

I've been fiddling with this for a while. Basically, my command:

petalinux-create -t project -s /home/build/Downloads/avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2020.1-final.bsp -n Zynq-7000-PetaLinux-Project

Yields the error "No PetaLinux projects found in the BSP." This is the same error as if you enter a completely invalid path.

Additionally, changing directory into Downloads and running:

petalinux-create -t project -s avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2020.1-final.bsp -n Zynq-7000-PetaLinux-Project

Yields the exact same error. I've tried with a couple of bsps, nothing is seeming to work. Am I missing something?

   You should make sure the bsp version matches the Petalinux version. I suspect that's the problem.

Thanks,

Hi @jriker,

From your log, it seems you are using petalinux 0f 2019.* and your BSP is of 2020,1 version.
Please try both of the same versions.

Thanks & Regards,
