Could you help me how to resolve this error

[shabbirk]

Hi Raghuram

This is not the issue with petalinux but instead with proxy settings. You need to set the proper proxies in your build machine

There is an example GIT proxy setup here:

https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18842401/Yocto+2017.1+Linux+Image+creation+for+ZCU102#Yocto2017.1LinuxImagecreationforZCU102-GITproxysetup:

need to install the dependent package  gawk in ubuntu to resolve above error 

[raghuram1a]

Hi,

 I want to know whether there is no need to copy the filesystem rootfs.cpio to sdcard. 

couls you guide me actually BOOT.BIN is firstlevel bootloader right then what about uboot.bin and kernel rootfs

Thanks,

Raghuram

[shabbirk · Accepted solution]

Hi Raghuram

BOOT.bin actually contains FSBL+uboot. image.ub contains kernel, device tree and rootfs and we call it a FIT image

Hi Shabbir,

Very helpful thanks very much for your support. Actually for SDcard boot to have in ZCU104 do i need to do any configure to boot from SDcard in the board. In the board is there any setting to select SDcard boot and also I want see the boot logs from minicom so which cable i need to connect to board in which place to connect to minicom serialport.

Thanks,

Raghuram

[shabbirk]

Hi Raghuram

Please refer to chapter-2 of this user guide

https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/zcu104/ug1267-zcu104-eval-bd.pdf

Page 12 you can find the board components. 30 is SW6, you need to configure this for boot mode SD

Refer to page 16 for various bootmode setting configurations

You can find usb-uart connecter on board to connect to minicom

Hi Puja,
