MPSoC Petalinux Software Development

The purpose of this page is to describe how to use PetaLinux to build Linux system and boot on the ZynqMPSoC platform.

SOFTWARE TOOLS AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  • Linux host RHEL 6 64bit
  • Set up BASH as default shell
  • Install 32bit libs on the Linux host
  • Install the libs/tools documented in the "PetaLinux Tools Installation Requirements" section in "Reference Guide" of PetaLinux tools 2014.4.
  • Download petalinux-v2015.2_ZUB2-dev-installer.run installer

Install PetaLinux Tools and Reference BSP


Download the PetaLinux installer and Install PetaLinux Tools by running the installer
$./petalinux-v2015.3-dev-installer.run

Source PetaLinux tools settings
$ source petalinux-v2015.3-dev/settings.sh
PetaLinux environment set to '/petalinux-v2015.3-dev'
INFO: Checking free disk space
INFO: Checking installed tools
INFO: Checking installed development libraries
INFO: Checking network and other services
Turn off webtalk since it is not working for ZynqMPSoC early access
$ petalinux-util --webtalk off
INFO: Turn off webtalk feature
Install the PetaLinux reference BSP
To extract the reference design project within the BSP to your working directory.
$ petalinux-create -t project -s Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3.bsp
INFO: Create project:
INFO: Projects:
INFO: * Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3
INFO: has been successfully installed to /petalinux-v2015.3_0820_2/
INFO: New project successfully created in /petalinux-v2015.3_0820_2/
If you want to rename the extracted reference design project, you can run
$ petalinux-create -t project -s Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3.bsp -n <MYPROJ>

Go inside the PetaLinux project directory
$ cd Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3

Boot prebuilt Linux image with QEMU
$ petalinux-boot --qemu --prebuilt 3

$ petalinux-build -c device-tree -x mrproper
INFO: Checking component...
INFO: Generating make files and build linux/device-tree
To generate BOOT.BIN with fsbl and u-boot
$ petalinux-package --boot --u-boot

To generate BOOT.BIN with fsbl
$ petalinux-package --boot

Reconfigure Linux Components

To reconfigure kernel
$ petalinux-config -c kernel
It will show you the kernel configuration menu
INFO: Checking component...
INFO: Config linux/kernel
[INFO ] config linux/kernel
 
 
*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

To reconfigure rootfs
$ petalinux-config -c rootfs
It will show you the rootfs configuration menu
INFO: Checking component...
INFO: Config linux/rootfs
[INFO ] config linux/rootfs
 
 
*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.
To add linux application
First create the application
$ petalinux-create -t apps -n myapp --enable
The above command will create a Linux application "myapp" in "components/apps/myapp" from "C" template, and it will be enabled to the rootfs.
If you want to create different type of Linux application, such as C++, autoconf, install-only binary, you can run "petalinux-create -t apps --help", it will shows you all the available options.
hello is the application
INFO: Create apps: hello
INFO: New apps successfully created in /Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3/components/apps/hello
INFO: Enabling created component...
INFO: It has been enabled to linux/rootfs

Rebuild PetaLinux project for the Linux application
You can rebuild the whole project,rootfs or just the application
$ petalinux-build
$ petalinux-build -c rootfs
$ petalinux-build -c rootfs/myapp
hello is myapp
INFO: Checking component...
INFO: Generating make files and build linux/rootfs/hello
INFO: Generating make files for the subcomponents of linux/rootfs/hello
INFO: Building linux/rootfs/hello
[INFO ] pre-build linux/rootfs/hello
[INFO ] build linux/rootfs/hello
[INFO ] post-build linux/rootfs/hello
[INFO ] pre-install linux/rootfs/hello
[INFO ] install linux/rootfs/hello

To add Linux user libraries to your rootfs.
$ petalinux-create -t libs -n mylib --enable
The above command will create a Linux user library "mylib" in "components/libs/mylib"
hello_lib is the mylib
INFO: Create libs: hello_lib
INFO: New libs successfully created in /Xilinx-ZynqMP-QEMU-2015.3/components/libs/hello_lib
INFO: Enabling created component...
INFO: It has been enabled to linux/rootfs

Again rebuild the whole project,rootfs or just the library
$ petalinux-build -c rootfs/mylib
INFO: Checking component...
INFO: Generating make files and build linux/rootfs/hello_lib
INFO: Generating make files for the subcomponents of linux/rootfs/hello_lib
INFO: Building linux/rootfs/hello_lib
[INFO ] pre-build linux/rootfs/hello_lib
[INFO ] build linux/rootfs/hello_lib
[INFO ] post-build linux/rootfs/hello_lib
[INFO ] pre-install linux/rootfs/hello_lib
[INFO ] install linux/rootfs/hello_lib

PetaLinux uses library priorities to decide the compilation sequence of the user libraries.
To specify the priority of you library
$ petalinux-create -t libs -n mylib --enable --priority X
X is the priority of your library."1" has the highest priority which will be built first.
Please find the available priorities from with the "--help" of "petalinux-create -t libs".
