Building a PetaLinux System Image - 2024.2 English - UG1144

1. Change into the directory of your PetaLinux project.

   cd <plnx-proj-root>

2. Run petalinux-build to build the system image:

   petalinux-build

   This step generates a device tree DTB file, a first stage boot loader (for Zynq 7000 devices, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and MicroBlaze), PLM (for Versal adaptive SoC), PSM (for Versal adaptive SoC) and TF-A (for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and Versal adaptive SoC), U-Boot, the Linux kernel, a root file system image, and the U-Boot boot script (boot.scr). Finally, it generates the necessary boot images.

3. The compilation progress shows on the console. Wait until the compilation finishes.

When the build finishes, the generated images are stored in the <plnx-proj-root>/images/linux and /tftpboot directories.

The console shows the compilation progress. For example:
