unable to Boot Petalinux from SD card

[imppn]

Hello,

I struggle in this problem and I don't know how can I figure it out.

I installed Petalinux successfully,

then I create my project using the bsp file from Github  .using this command

petalinux-create -t project -s <path to .bsp file>

my project was  built successfully in my directory

I copy  the 2 files boot.bin and image.ub in my sd card

but nothing display in the terminal

Im sure that my hardware configuration is good

my board is zybo -zynq 7010.

Please any help

did you also copy the device tree file?    the   .dtb file?

Thank you for your help

yeaah I did

there is an attachement of my sd card.

I just I wanna be sure if I download  the bsp from github ,

it contains a ZYBO-Z7010 project .I dont need to create a new project right?

I just copy the files of the project

normally an SD card has 2 partitions..   a FAT32 (W95) formatted partition named "boot" with type 0xB  of about 100 to 200 Mbytes as the first partition, and an EXT4 formatted partition named "rootfs" as the second (usually multiple GBytes).  

your boot files and linux image go in the first partition, and your linux file system goes in the 2nd partition.    Is this how you have it set up?

I cant thank you enough for your help 

but this is my first time I work on sd Card 

how can I resolve this problem ?

I dont know if I put all files in two differents partition,I just copy all files and put it in sd card

Do you see any prints on serial terminal? If not, please follow the instructions in https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/59476.html to narrow down the issue.

DId you actually run a bare-metal "hello world" test to make sure you have the serial port setup correctly on your PC?

Every Petalinux  BSP I've come across by default uses a ramdisk for the rootfs, and a FIT image to package up the kernel + initramfs +  device tree.   So unless you changed the rootfs to something other than initramfs, you should be able to boot with boot.bin and image.ub (the FIT image) in the FAT partition.  That said, I'm not familiar with the Zybo BSP, so you'll need to take a look in the configuration GUI and see how it's setup. 

Another thing you should try first is to load the pre-built images packaged in the BSP. Once you see those working, then you know your hardware is good, and the serial port is operational.

Terry

To be honest I didnt underestand what are you explain.

I'm sorry can you explain more please because.

I didnt found a solution and I didnt unterstand what happen exactly but when   I short the two pin QSPI I see linux booting in the terminal as shown in attachement.

but When I SHORT the pin labeled SD nothing happened.

i FOLLOW it also this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMCfn0zwhaQ to copy the files on sd card but nothing happened.

in this link there is a file Env .txt did have any relation ?

Details of how to create the two partitions on the SD Card can be found here:

http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Prepare%20Boot%20Medium

I'm new to PetaLinux myself but from the examples I've been working with formatting the SD Card as described in the link seems to be a requirement. This link really needs to be included in the example design documentation.

In the instructions it allocates 200MB for the boot partition:

Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-15759359, default 15759359): +200M

One of the pre-built examples required more space in the boot partition. So if you have a large enough SD Card (8G or more) then I would make the boot partition 1GB. So in the example above where they have entered '+200M' as the size enter '+1G' instead. Use the default value for the root partition and it will be sized to use the remaining space on the SD Card.
