Hi,
I am new to PetaLinux and this level of detail for installing a Linux distribution. I am trying to install PetaLinux on a MicroZed 7010 in the QSPI flash memory. Using the initramfs file system, I am able to have PetaLinux boot from the QSPI, but it seems to be booting into RAM so any changes I make to the files are not persistent through a reboot. I have also tried a PetaLinux build using the JFFS2 file system, but that ended up being too large to fit onto the 16MB QSPI.
Is there a way to build PetaLinux with a file system that will write back to flash? Perhaps one with a mountable file system that isn't incorporated into the image.ub and a way to add a boot script that will automatically mount it?
The initramfs build of PetaLinux is based off the PetaLinux 2016.2 compressed BSP, z7010 found at http://zedboard.org/support/design/1519/10 and using the 2016.2 PetaLinux SDK tools. The /var/log/dmesg file goes as follows:
