Replace PLM and PMC CDO in SSI Technology PDIs - Replace PLM and PMC CDO in SSI Technology PDIs - 2026.1 English - UG1283

Bootgen supports replacing PLM, PMC CDO, and PSM for Monolithic devices, by taking the PDI as input.

The system now replaces functionality. It considers SSI technology devices and future requirements. The bif serves as input, not the boot image.

This example shows the steps to replace PLM and PMC DATA.

1. Take a Vivado generated bif (base.bif).
2. Create a new PDI by replacing the PLM (bootloader) from the base bif.

   include: base.bif
   replace_image:
   {
   image
   {
     partition { type = bootloader, slr = 0, file = plm-v1.elf }
     partition { type = pmcdata, slr = 0, file = pmc_data-v1.cdo }
   }
   image
   {
     partition { type = bootloader, slr = 1, file = plm-v1.elf }
     partition { type = pmcdata, slr = 1, file = pmc_data-v1.cdo }
   }
   image
   {
     partition { type = bootloader, slr = 2, file = plm-v1.elf }
     partition { type = pmcdata, slr = 2, file = pmc_data-v1.cdo }
   }
   }

Bootgen replaces respective slr bootloader plm.elf with a new plm_v1.elf and pmcdata with pmc_data-v1.cdos.

Example Bootgen Command to Create a PDI

Use the following command to create a PDI.

bootgen -arch versal -image filename.bif -w -o boot.pdi
