==InstructionsIntroduction==It is assumed that the development environment has been set up properly as described [[Build_system_(BELK)|here]].BELK provides a bootable microSD that can be used not only to quickly start the system, but also as a recovery method in case the primary boot device (eg. SPI QSPI NOR flash) gets erased or corrupted. The following sections describe how to create a bootable SD card and how to configure the system for booting from SD.[[Restoring_U-Boot_on_SPI_NOR_flash_(BELK/BXELK)|This article]], for example, shows how to make use of such a card to restore the U-Boot image onto the NOR flash. 3{{ImportantMessage|text=It is worth remembering that the bootable microSD card described in this article is not configured to perform a full boot sequence, including the operating system bootstrap.4The bootable microSD card delivered along with the kit is set up to do a full bootstrap sequence, instead.9For more details, please refer to [[Working_with_the_Yocto_build_system#bootscript|this section]].1 }} ==How to create a bootable MicroSD microSD card=====BELK <= 3.0.2 / BXELK <= 1.0.1===This section describes how to create a new bootable microSD card from scratchfor '''BELK <= 3.0.2''' and '''BXELK <= 1.0.1'''.
The following components must be available:
*FSBL built with Vivado 2014.4 as described in Section 3.4.2[[Creating_and_building_example_Vivado_project_(BELK)|here]]*U-boot built in elf format, as described in Section 3.4.4[[Building_U-Boot_(BELK)|here]]*FPGA bitstream (optional).
The procedure is the following:
*from the Vivado 2014.4 SDK, apply the required patches to the <code>main.c </code> project file.This step can be done in two ways:**manually, directly modifying the <code>main.c </code> file adding the following code snippets:<pre>
----CUT----
/*
#ifdef XPAR_PS7_QSPI_LINEAR_0_S_AXI_BASEADDR
----CUT----
</pre>**automatically, using the ''Apply Patch '' function and selecting the <code>belk-sd-boot.patch </code> file provided with the BELK (please refer to the following images):[[File:Patch sd 1.png|thumb|center|600px|Automatic patch applying (1/3)]][[File:Patch sd 2.png|thumb|center|600px|Automatic patch applying (2/3)]][[File:Patch sd 3.png|thumb|center|600px|Automatic patch applying (3/3)]]*once the patch is applied, rebuild the FSBL project*from the Xilinx Tools menu, select ''Create Zynq Boot Image''*select Create New BIF file and insert path and name of the .bif file*in the ''Boot image partitions'' section, click on ''Add'' to browse and add the following files:**FSBL in .elf format, with ''bootloader'' as partition type **(optional) FPGA bitstream in .bit format, with partition type ''datafile''**U-boot binary with .elf extension, with partition type ''datafile''*in the ''Output path'' section, browse and select the path where saving the <code>boot.bin</code> file*on a PC, format the microSD card creating a FAT32 partition*copy the <code>boot.bin</code> file to the microSD card FAT32 partition. ===BELK-4.0.0 / BXELK-2.0.0===This section describes how to create a new bootable microSD card from scratch for '''BELK-4.0.0''' and '''BXELK-2.0.0'''.The following components must be available:*U-boot SPL and U-boot second stage built as described in [[Building_U-Boot_(BELK)|here]]*FPGA bitstream (optional).The procedure is the following:*on a PC, format the microSD card creating a FAT32 partition*copy the following files to the microSD card FAT32 partition:** U-boot SPL: <code>boot.bin</code>** U-boot second stage: <code>u-boot.img</code>** Fpga bitstream .bit (optional): <code>fpga.bit</code>
