What is PetaLinux used for? ›

PetaLinux tools enable developers to synchronize the software platform with the hardware design as it gains new features and devices.

PetaLinux is an embedded Linux Software Development Kit (SDK) targeting FPGA-based system on a chip (SoC) designs.

Xilinx PetaLinux Tools are available at no-charge, make it easy for developers to configure, build and deploy essential open source and systems software to Xilinx silicon, including: FSBL. U-BOOT.

For instance, while Xilinx provides tool for multiple operating systems, the PetaLinux tools are designed for Linux usage only. Specific Linux-supported distros include Red Hat Enterprise (6.6, 6.7, 7.1, 7.2), CentOS (7.1), SUSE (12), and Ubuntu 14.04.

You can set internal mirrors on the NFS or web server which can speed up the builds. By default, PetaLinux uses sstate-cache and download mirrors from here. Follow these steps to work with local, NFS, or the internal web server copy of sstate in PetaLinux.

The PetaLinux tool is installed into the current working directory by default, if the installer is run without any options. Specifies where the log file should be created. By default, it is petalinux_installation_log in your working directory. Using '-y' means yes for all the prompts while installing the tool.

In PetaLinux, the tools need to be made available to the command line, however no project-specific initialization is required. With Yocto, the SDK needs to be set up for the local project prior to running bitbake commands. For either tool, this setup only needs to be done once per command line session.

There are three main “families” of Linux distributions: Debian, Red Hat, and SUSE. Most other Linux distributions use one of these three distributions as their foundation.

I will share the installation guide and the step that how I run PetaLinux on Windows 10 machine without VirtualBox. The version of PetaLinux that I will be using is 2018.3 and the full PetaLinux-2018.3 reference guide is at here.

How do I launch PetaLinux? ›

petalinux-build - Build specific components or an entire Linux system for the PetaLinux project (including FSBL, uboot, device tree, etc.) petalinux-boot - Boots a specified Linux image either via JTAG onto hardware or QEMU software emulator.

The generated files are in the <plnx-proj-root>/components/plnx_workspace/device-tree/device-tree/ directory. For more details on device tree files, see PetaLinux Project Structure. To add information like the Ethernet PHY, include the information in the system-conf. dtsi file.

After you have installed the Petalinux, you can create a project from PetaLinux reference BSP. PetaLinux Reference Board Support Package (BSP) files are reference designs that you may use to get up and going quickly. In addition, these designs can be used as a basis for creating your own projects.

To execute a program automatically after booting in Petalinux, you need to create a recipe for your application and configure it to run at startup. Here are the steps: Change the current working directory to the location of your Petalinux project. This will typically be within your home directory under a.

Nano is a versatile text editor primarily used to edit files directly from the command line of Unix-based systems. Its straightforward interface and keyboard shortcuts make it a convenient tool for quick text editing tasks in the terminal environment.
