I have a zcu102 board. I built "core-image-minimal" for the board. This 
succeeded. Now I have a bunch of files in the image deploy directory.

What do I do with these files to boot the board from an SD card?

For the Zynq, one needed boot.bin, u-boot.img and uImage.

For the zynqmp, there's also the arm-trusted-firmware and pmu-firmware. I have 
no idea whatsoever what I'm supposed to do with these. There is no boot.bin at 
all.


The wiki pages aren't any help either, they're either outdated or just plain 
wrong.


Yeah, on zynq7, things were simpler with u-boot providing both the SPL (or first stage 
boot.bin file), and the proper u-boot loader for the kernel. Things were all nicely tied 
together. Now, one has to tie a few knots to get "burnable" products ready-made 
by yocto.

Take a look at https://github.com/Xilinx/meta-xilinx-tools/blob/master/README.md


Oh, there's another meta.


Basically, I switched to meta-xilinx-tools. This wasn't pretty since I am bound 
to building everything in docker containers through gitlab-ci. I finally 
managed to get things working the way we need it to.

It's not a pretty tool stack, the Xilinx SDK is pretty hacky (cmd line tools 
have dependencies to X11 and run a fake gui to execute commands), but the trail 
is pretty beaten by now and most of the kinks have been run over a number of 
times! ;)

Basically, through IMAGE_CLASSES, xilinx-bootbin tasks are added to every 
images (which is being debated on meta-xilinx now, I submitted a patch where 
xilinx-bootbin becomes a proper recipe). Anyway, once you have the boot.bin, 
simply copying it to the first fat partition of SD (or eMMC) is good enough. I 
use a slightly modified version of 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/sdimage-bootpart.wks
 where I add more files to the boot partition:

...

It's generating the boot.bin where my problem is now. From there on, it's just u-boot and Linux again, and I'm on familiar territory again...

I recall having done this stuff about half a year ago, and at least then I could create an SPL based loader that actually booted. The layer above looks like regression to me.

Current state is that if I generate FSBL using Vivado SDK I can make it load u-boot by generating a boot.bin containing the FSBL and u-boot.elf. But then I don't have the PMU firmware and ATF and thus the kernel won't run.

I tried putting ATF and PMU firmware from the meta-xilinx build into the boot.bin using the proper attributes, but that results in complete and utter quiet hangup after power-up. I only see the FSBL start message on the uart.
