QSPI boot

[keshava7887]

Hi 

I am trying to boot my custom board based zynq-mpsoc zu4eg device  using QSPI mode,

I am Generating BOOT.BIN using below command.

petalinux-package --boot --fsbl images/linux/zynqmp_fsbl.elf --atf images/linux/bl31.elf --u-boot images/linux/u-boot.elf --fpga ssdtest.bit.

I am able to boot the board in jtag mode.

I have copied BOOT.bin to mtd partition using flashcp -v ./BOOT.BIN /dev/mtd0

I have copied image.ub to mtd partition using flashcp -v ./image /dev/mtd2

When I tried to boot board in  QSPI  mode, device stops at uboot with following error.

"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Linux qspi memory partition.

 I am loading my image.ub at different location in flash  but uboot script is looking for image.ub at different location. 

Can anyone guide me how to fix uboot to correctly read boot image.ub location and tell me if I am doing something wrong in generating binaries.

Or state out if I am missing any steps. 

I have tested my image.ub in same uboot by copying image.ub from vitis IDE XSCT command  using this command 'dow -data image.ub 0x10000000' then 'bootm 0x10000000' in uboot, linux boots with this settings. 

And also suggest me document which tell how to boot from QSPI for zcu106 board.  

Thanks

I am using petalinux 2020.1 tools.

In 2020 you also need to put the Uboot boot script, boot.scr, in the flash also.

Thanks jrhtech, 

Can you tell how to load and were to place boot.scr in the flash.

Sorry for the delayed response; however, I do not know the specific answer. I boot from QSPI->eMCC and my eMCC just has a filesystem that I copy the boot.scr and image.ub onto. I know you need to write the files at a specific address that u-boot needs to read from but I'm not sure where you set that up.

Hi @keshava7887 

  You will need an extra partition in QSPI to hold the boot.scr script. I've posted about this in my blog U-Boot-changes-to-distro-boot for more details.
