The kernel at git.xilinx.com has a rule to make zImage.virtex. Note
that this elf file will almost certainly *not* fit in blockram, hence
you can't use it to 'make a bitstream'. You can use it to generate a
SystemAce file, however.
If you are using a current mainline kernel, then you need to make a
simpleImage, which requires having a dts file that starts with the
'virtex-' prefix.

Subject: Making the Kernel
Good Afternoon,
I've gone through the process of configuring a kernel for my Xilinx
board design using the mhs-devtree, dts+'make menuconfig'
options-'make all' process and things seem to have succeeded. I was
under the expectation that I would find a file
arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.virtex, which is a type of .elf file that I
can
use to make a bitstream, but I didn't find this said file in the
output.
I found several zImage files (zImage,
zImage.pmac,.miboot,.chrp,.lds,.cofflds), but none of them had the
desired '.virtex' extension. Am I looking for something that doesn't
exist? If not, can someone help me generate the necessary file?
This is my first time through this process so I appreciate your
advice.
Sincerely,
Jake Poteet
