When
a system project is selected, by running build, the Vitis software platform builds all applications in the system project and
creates a bootable image according to a pre-defined BIF or an auto-generated BIF.
You can create bootable images using Bootgen. In the Vitis IDE, the Create Boot Image menu option is used to create the boot image.
To create a bootable image, follow these steps:
- Select the Application Project in the Project Explorer view.
- Right-click the application and select Create Boot Image to open the Create Boot Image dialog box.
- Specify the boot loader and the partitions.
- Click Create Image to create the image and generate the BOOT.bin in the <Application_project_name>/_ide/bootimage folder.
