This post lists the commands to erase, and W95 FAT32 (LBA) format an SD card so you can boot Linux from it on a ZCU102, ZC702, or other embedded system. These instructions will fix the boot process failing as indicated by red PS_ERROR_OUT and INIT_B LEDs and the BootROM failing with the error, "0x3B - Reading failed from the selected boot device." The SD card boot switches for a ZCU102 are also listed below. To ensure you're successful.
Note: these steps will erase all the data on the SD card you use.
Step #1: Plugin your SD card
Step #2: Type dmesg to find the device name:
dmesgAt the end of the output you should see something like:
[4631534.438306] sd 33:0:0:1: [sdc] 31116288 512-byte logical blocks: (15.9 GB/14.8 GiB)
[4631534.452427] sdc: sdc1
[4631534.973011] FAT-fs (sdc1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.Step #3: Zero the SD card
This is optional
Type:
sudo dd status=progress if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4096Note: this will take a little bit
Note 2: without bs=4096 I got 6.3 MB/s, with it I got 50-100 MB/s
I saw this once my invocation completed:
15927132160 bytes (16 GB, 15 GiB) copied, 1248 s, 12.8 MB/s
dd: error writing '/dev/sdc': No space left on device

3889536+0 records out
15931539456 bytes (16 GB, 15 GiB) copied, 1248.48 s, 12.8 MB/sStep #4: Add a partition table. Type:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdcStep #5: Use the responses in bold
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Partition type (type L to list all types): c
Changed type of partition 'Linux' to 'W95 FAT32 (LBA)'.
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Syncing disks.Possible Error
If you see:
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).Type:
umount /dev/sdc1…and try fdisk again
Note
You can also type in a script:
(echo o; echo n; echo; echo; echo; echo; echo t; echo c; echo w) | sudo fdisk /dev/sdcor
(echo -e 'o\nn\n\n\n\n\nt\nc\nw\n') | sudo fdisk /dev/sdcStep #6: Type:
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1You should see something like:
mkfs.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)Step #7: Type:
mkdir sdcard_part1
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 sdcard_part1 -o rw,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g)
cd sdcard_part1
echo "Hello, World!" > test.txt
cd ..
sudo umount sdcard_part1
rm -rf sdcard_part1To boot from an SD card on a ZCU102, set SW6 to SD1 LS:
