One of the earlier posts demonstrated the process of building Petalinux for the Zynq SoC on the Zybo board. The process itself is quite simple when all you have to do is run Linux. It gets tricky when you need to modify the core settings and tweak the operating system to make it do what you want it to do. I found the whole thing quite difficult to grasp at the beginning. With time and consistency, I can now build Petalinux and at least understand what some of the settings mean. Coming to this point required me to climb a steep learning slope. I would say that there’s still a long way to the top. Embedded Linux is HARD!!! Running a few commands here and there on a pre-assembled linux system is far from what we are doing here. Embedded linux for Zynq SoC which is an FPGA and an applications processor is an entirely different game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming back to our main topic here; Running Ubuntu 20.04 on Zynq. Now, this requires you to have a pre-built Petalinux setup at hand. If you are entirely new to this, go back to this tutorial<\/a> and have a basic setup ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
