Use the following basic steps to boot Linux and run an OpenAMP application using pre-built images. The following steps apply to the ZCU102 board.

If the target hardware platform is Versal, please refer to http://wiki.xilinx.com/openamp for information on supported hardware configurations and Versal-specific information for running the RPMsg demo in Kernel space on the Versal platform.

The echo-test application sends packets from Linux running on quad-core Cortex-A53 to a single Cortex-R5 running FreeRTOS, which sends them back.

1. Extract files BOOT.BIN , image.ub , and openamp.dtb files from a pre-built PetaLinux BSP tarball to an SD card. Note that the OpenAMP related device nodes are not in the default system.dtb, but are included in the prebuilt openamp.dtb.

host shell$ tar xvf xilinx-zcu102-v2019.2-final.bsp --strip-components=4 --wildcards */BOOT.BIN */image.ub */openamp.dtb

host shell$ cp BOOT.BIN image.ub openamp.dtb <your sd card>

Note: Alternatively, if you already created a PetaLinux project with a provided BSP for your board, you can find pre-built images in the <your project>/pre-built/linux/images/ directory.

2. Go to u-boot prompt and boot Linux from the SD card:

ZynqMP> mmcinfo && fatload mmc 0 0x10000000 image.ub && fatload mmc 0 0x14000000 openamp.dtb

Device: mmc@ff170000

Manufacturer ID: 3

OEM: 5344

Name: SL16G

Bus Speed: 100000000

Mode: UHS SDR50 (100MHz)

Rd Block Len: 512

SD version 3.0

High Capacity: Yes

Capacity: 14.8 GiB

Bus Width: 4-bit

Erase Group Size: 512 Bytes

57212600 bytes read in 3718 ms (14.7 MiB/s)

40961 bytes read in 26 ms (1.5 MiB/s)

ZynqMP> bootm 0x10000000 0x10000000 0x14000000

Note: As an alternative to all steps above to SD boot, you can JTAG boot the board. For this you need to have connected a JTAG cable, installed JTAG drivers, and created a PetaLinux project using a provided BSP.
To do this, you must go in the <your project>/pre-built/linux/images directory and replace the system.dtb file by openamp.dtb , then type petalinux-boot --jtag --prebuilt 3 .

3. At the Linux login prompt, type root for user and root for password, and then run the echo-test demo.
