Steps to import hardware configuration are:
- Change into the directory of your PetaLinux
project.
cd <plnx-proj-root>
- Import the hardware description with
petalinux-config
command using the following steps:- Using path of the directory containing the
.xsa
file:
petalinux-config --get-hw-description <PATH-TO-XSA Directory>
- Using the XSA file path as follows:
When you have multiple XSA files in a specified folder
petalinux-config
gives you an error. To avoid these kind of errors you can provide complete XSA file path as follows:petalinux-config --get-hw-description <PATH-TO-XSA-FILE>
Note: Changing the XSA file in the <PATH-TO-XSA directory> later gives an INFO: Seems like your hardware design:<PATH-TO-XSA Directory>/system.xsa has changed warning for all subsequent executions of thepetalinux-config
/petalinux-build
commands. This means that your XSA has changed. To use the latest XSA, runpetalinux-config --get-hw-description
again. - Using path of the directory containing the
.xsa
file:
- This launches the top system configuration menu. When the
petalinux-config --get-hw-description
command runs for the PetaLinux project, the tool detects the changes in the imported hardware design and launches the menu.
Ensure
is selected and use the option as follows:- Keep the BSP setting as AUTO when using a Xilinx evaluation board with the default BSP/hardware project. The DTG machine configuration is automatically determined based on the specific design you use.
- For the custom board, keep the default value.
- For customized hardware design implemented on a Xilinx evaluation board, use the values in the following table.

Ensure Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings is selected, and go into the menu which is similar to the following:
The Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings → menu allows customizing system wide hardware settings. You have a choice to select the processor, memory bank, serial console, flash etc.
This step can take a few minutes to complete because the tool parses the hardware description file for hardware information required to update the device tree, PetaLinux U-Boot configuration files (only for MicroBlaze) and the kernel config files(only for MicroBlaze) based on the “Auto Config Settings --->” and “Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings --->” settings.
