How to build the Zynq boot image BOOT.BIN
The boot image BOOT.BIN is built using the bootgen tool which requires several input files.
Instructions on how to build the Xilinx Shell Archive (XSA) handover file can be found here:
- Building HDL projects
All further steps are lengthy explained on the Xilinx Wiki Page
Use script to build BOOT.BIN
For ease of use, we provide a bash shell script which allows building BOOT.BIN from system_top.xsa and u-boot.elf
Download
The script can be downloaded from here:
NOTE: After downloading the script you need to make it executable
$ chmod +x build_boot_bin.sh
Usage
usage: build_boot_bin.sh system_top.xsa u-boot.elf [output-archive]
- Path to
system_top.xsaandu-boot.elfare required parameters - An optionally 3rd
nameparameter can be given to tar.gz the output directory (name.tar.gz) - Build output is located in a local directory named: output_boot_bin
- This script requires Xilinx Vitis and bootgen in the PATH
- A simple way is to source vivado settings[32|64].sh:
$ source /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/202x.x/settings64.sh
- When using cygwin, you can add the following in the ~/.bashrc configuration file:
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Xilinx/Vivado/202x.x/bin export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Xilinx/Vitis/202x.x/bin
There is also a version of script that works in Windows Powershell: build_boot_bin.ps1
NOTE: u-boot.elf
For those who don't want to build u-boot themselves.
The u-boot.elf can be extracted from the project folder on the SD Card image, bootgen_sysfiles.tgz
