The boot directory includes all the files described in the BIF file. The contents of the image directory are copied into the FAT32 partition of the final SD card image. In the beamforming example, the boot directory contains bl31.elf, u-boot.elf, and system.dtb generated by PetaLinux. Later, Vitis compiler (v++) looks for files in the boot directory and replaces the placeholders with real file names and paths. It then calls Bootgen to generate the boot.bin file.
