ZYNQMP-R5

About this

This document describes the information about Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSOC U-Boot Cortex R5 support.

ZynqMP R5 boards

  • zynqmp-r5 - U-Boot running on RPU Cortex-R5

Building

configure and build armv7 toolchain:

$ make xilinx_zynqmp_r5_defconfig
$ make

Notes

Output fragment is u-boot.

Loading

ZynqMP R5 U-Boot was created for supporting loading OS on RPU. There are two ways how to start U-Boot on R5.

Bootgen

The first way is to use Xilinx FSBL (First stage bootloader) to load u-boot and start it. The following bif can be used for boot image generation via Xilinx bootgen utility:

the_ROM_image:
{
      [bootloader,destination_cpu=r5-0] fsbl_rpu.elf
      [destination_cpu=r5-0]u-boot.elf
}

Bootgen command for building boot.bin:

bootgen -image <bif>.bif -r -w -o i boot.bin

U-Boot cpu command

The second way to load U-Boot to Cortex R5 is from U-Boot running on A53 as is visible from the following log:

Then on second uart you can see U-Boot up and running on R5:

Please make sure MIO pins for uart are properly configured to see output.
