    # Edit /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
 range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
 option routers 192.168.1.254;
 option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
 option domain-name "mydomain.example";
}

    # Edit /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
INTERFACES="eth0"
    • Restart
    sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart

  • Setup NFS server

    • Install NFS server
    sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

    # Edit /etc/exports
<directory> 192.168.1.*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
    • Restart
    sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
    • Note that if you have firewall running, you have to keep the port 2049 open (or disable the firewall).

Startup

  • Get a license from http://www.xilinx.com/getlicense
    • Use the voucher to get a node-locked license (which will be emailed to you)
    • Alternatively, one can get the WebPACK license for free
    • In Vivado, select Help -> Manage License..., load the license Xilinx.lic
  • Setup the environments:
source /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2015.2/settings64.sh
source /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2015.2/settings64.sh
source /opt/PetaLinux/petalinux-v2015.2.1-final/settings.sh

Known Issues (PetaLinux)

Miscellaneous (PetaLinux)

  • Enable TCF agent

    petalinux-config -c rootfs`
# Select Filesystem Packages -> base -> tcf-agent

  • Enable SSH server

    petalinux-config -c rootfs`
# Select Filesystem Packages -> console/network -> dropbear
# Select Filesystem Packages -> console/network -> dropbear-openssh-sftp-server

  • Mount via NFS

    mkdir /mnt/nfs
mount -o port=2049,nolock,proto=tcp -t nfs 192.168.1.1:<directory> /mnt/nfs
cd /mnt/nfs/<project>
# Can now execute "myapp" in build/linux/rootfs/apps/myapp/myapp

  • Change MAC address

    petalinux-config
# Select Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings -> Ethernet Settings -> (00:0a:35:00:1e:53) Ethernet MAC address

  • Use static IP address

    petalinux-config
# Deselect Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings -> Ethernet Settings -> Obtain IP address automatically
# After that, three new configurations (Static IP address, netmask, gateway) appear. Select and update them

  • Run applications at startup

    • See AR# 55998
    • Create an application, and create a startup script in the application area
    petalinux-create -t apps -n mystartup --enable
echo 'echo "Hello World"' > components/apps/mystartup/mystartup.sh
    • Modify the Makefile, remove any reference to APP_OBJS and *.o, update the install section to copy mystartup to /etc/init.d/ and create a symbolic link to /etc/rc5.d/
    # Modify components/apps/mystartup/Makefile "install" section

install: $(APP)
	$(TARGETINST) -d -p 0755 mystartup /etc/init.d/mystartup
	$(TARGETINST) -s /etc/init.d/mystartup /etc/rc5.d/S99mystartup
    • Remember to indent with a tab character, otherwise the Makefile won't work

  • Auto login

    • Add a new file build/linux/rootfs/targetroot/bin/autologin with the following content:
    #!/bin/sh
exec /bin/login -f root
    • Make autologin executable
    chmod 755 build/linux/rootfs/targetroot/bin/autologin
    • Modify build/linux/rootfs/targetroot/etc/inittab, change the very last line to
    PS0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -l /bin/autologin -n -L 115200 ttyPS0 vt100
    • Repackage the image
    petalinux-package --image

  • Use an external Linux kernel

    cd <directory>
mkdir linux-kernel
git clone [email protected]:Xilinx/linux-xlnx.git
git checkout -b from-xilinx-v2015.3 xilinx-v2015.3
petalinux-config --searchpath --append <directory>
petalinux-config
# Select linux Components Selection -> kernel -> linux-xlnx

  • Update device tree generator

    cd /opt/PetaLinux/petalinux-v2015.2.1-final/components/edk_user_repository/device-tree-generator
git remote add gh-origin [email protected]:Xilinx/device-tree-xlnx.git
git fetch gh-origin
git checkout -b from-xilinx-v2015.3 gh-origin/xilinx-v2015.3
petalinux-config --get-hw-description=<Vivado_Export_to_SDK_Directory>
