The boot image can be put into Flash or SD card. When you power on the board, it can boot from the boot image. A boot image usually contains a first stage boot loader image, FPGA bitstream, PMU firmware, TF-A, and U-Boot.
Execute the following command to generate the boot image in
.BIN
format.petalinux-package boot --u-bootNote: Specifying
--u-boot adds all the required
images to boot up to U-Boot into the
BOOT.BIN.petalinux-package boot --u-boot pre-built/linux/images/u-boot.elf --dtb pre-built/linux/images/system.dtb --pmufw pre-built/linux/images/pmufw.elf --fsbl pre-built/linux/images/zynqmp_fsbl.elf --atf pre-built/linux/images/bl31.elf --format MCS
