How to build Petalinux Kernel for Ultra96 V2 based on Avnet BSP 2021.1

Updated: Apr 28

Build Steps

Petalinux Kernel source code location

u96v2_sbc_base_2021_1/build/tmp/work/u96v2_sbc-xilinx-linux/linux-xlnx

# Setup PetaLinux Environment

cd ~petalinux-install-directory

source peta/settings.sh

source peta/settings.sh PetaLinux environment set to '/home/jimmy/petalinux/2021.1/peta' INFO: Checking free disk space INFO: Checking installed tools INFO: Checking installed development libraries INFO: Checking network and other services

# go to BSP source code directory

cd u96v2_sbc_base_2021_1

# In order to clean up build temp files By running following command:
