-To boot the Zedboard using a buildroot generated image copy the following files

- uImage -> uImage
- boot.bin -> boot.bin
+The U-Boot firmware for the Xilinx Zynq All Programmable SoC depends
+on some propietary code. This dependency consists of a pair of
+files are available from the Xilinx SDK installation.
-U-Boot SPL Support
--------------
+You will need these files from Xilinx SDK installation to generate
+the U-Boot firmware:
+ ps7_init.c
+ ps7_init.h
+
+Buildroot will create the following files and place them in the
+<output>/images directory.
+ zynq-zed.dtb
+ rootfs.cpio.uboot
+ uImage
+ u-boot.img
+ boot.bin
+
+
+uboot.bin -- U-Boot SPL w/ Xilinx boot.bin wrapper
+---------------------------------------------------
Due to licensing issues, the files ps7_init.c/h are not able to be
distributed with the U-Boot source code. These files are required to make a
boot.bin file.

+If you already have the Xilinx tools installed, the following sequence will
unpack, patch and build the rfs, kernel, uboot, and uboot-spl.
make zedboard_defconfig
make uboot-patch
cp ${XILINX}/ISE_DS/EDK/sw/lib/hwplatform_templates/zed_hw_platform/ps7_init.{c,h} \

+
+After copying these files into the U-Boot source tree, you can
+continue the build with:
+
make
+*Notice*
+While the build will successfully complete without the ps7_init.*
+files, the uboot.bin file generated by this configuration will not
+function properly on the Zedboard. Therefore, it is imperative that
+the ps7_init.* files be copied into the U-Boot source tree any time
+the clean, or uboot-dirclean targets are made.
+
+
+Resulting system
+----------------
+A FAT32 partition should be created at the beggining of the SD Card
+and the following files should be installed:
+ /boot.bin
+ /devicetree.dtb
+ /uImage
+ /uramdisk.image.gz
+ /u-boot.img
+
+
+All needed files can be taken from output/images/
+
+boot.bin, uImage and u-boot.img are direct copies of the same files
+available on output/images/
+
+devicetree.dtb is just zynq-zed.dtb renamed.
+
+uramdisk.image.gz is rootfs.cpio.uboot renamed
