Linux image

Download xillinux-1.3.img.gz

Extract and copy this image to SD card.

On Windows the Win32 Disk Imager application can be use for writing to the card.

This image, now the SD card, has two partitions. The second partition contains the Linux. The first, boot partition is FAT. From Windows only this partition is visible. We will have to copy tree more files to this.

Boot files

Download: xillinux-eval-zybo-1.3b.zip

Copy the boot.bin and devicetree.dtb form ZIP file bootfiles directory to the root of first partition of the SD card.

Zynq hardware

Download the prebuilt xillydemo.bit or generate it as described in the following manual: xillybus_getting_started_zynq.pdf

Copy the bit file to the first partition of the card.
