Hi !
In the previous post we installed Xilinx Vivado 2018.2 for FPGA generation and Xilinx SDK 2018.2 for software developements.
Now in this post we are going to install Xilinx PetaLinux 2018.2.
PetaLinux is provided by Xilinx and you can find all the relative information here : Xilinx PetaLinux page
Read This !
This post describes procedures that manipulate a big installation file (6.5GB) in a virtual environment !
So some steps provided in this post may be quite long, depending on your computer configuration !!
If you don't want to lose too much time I encourage you to follow the steps in the provided order.
This post describes procedures that manipulate a big installation file (6.5GB) in a virtual environment !
So some steps provided in this post may be quite long, depending on your computer configuration !!
If you don't want to lose too much time I encourage you to follow the steps in the provided order.
Here are the main sections of this post for a quick jump :
Step 1 : Download installation files
The first thing to do is to get the installation files for the PetaLinux 2018.2 version.
Stage 1
You must go the to Xilinx's website : Xilinx WebSite : PetaLinux 2018.2 Download
You're in the Embedded Development Section, then scroll down to the PetaLinux - Installation Files - 2018.2
Finally click on the PetaLinux 2018.2 Installer.
The file is 6.5GB !
Stage 2
This will launch the download, but first you have to login to your Xilinx account.
Fill Username, Password and then click on Sign In.
Confirm your personnal data and press Sign In for the download to begin.
Stage 3
You will be requested to provide the destination folder where the installation file will be stored.
As it will be launched in the VM under Ubuntu, you need to store the installer in the shared folder we created.
This will let us access the installer file from Ubuntu.
Step 2 : Creating the installation folder for the Xilinx PetaLinux Tool
Ok, now it's time to switch to Ubuntu.
So open your Virtual Machine and log in to Ubuntu.
Stage 1
First we need to create the destination installation folder as follow :
sudo mkdir /opt/petalinux-v2018.2-final
Then, as we did for the /opt folder, we are going to give the rights to the installation folders.
Reminder: The following table gives an explanation of a change mod command using letters.
So the chmod command for the Xilinx PetaLinux tool installation folder will be :
sudo chmod -R ugo+w /opt/petalinux-v2018.2-final
you may need to create the group with the following command
sudo addgroup mtvl
and then
sudo chown -R mtvl:mtvl /opt/petalinux-v2018.2-final
Which recursively gives to the Mtvl user group the write permission to this repository.
As you can see on the previous screenshot the Xilinx Tools folder does not have all the expected rights!
To correct this we give the same rights with :
sudo chmod -R ugo+w /opt/Xilinx
Now we have :
Ok, now everything is set up.
Step 3 : Install the Xilinx PetaLinux Tool
MANDATORY !
Before going further in the installation process you have to apply the following steps otherwise the installation will FAIL !
- First, set the BASH shell : Follow the steps of this post :
Set Ubuntu shell for Xilinx PetaLinux
- Second, automatically set up the PetaLinux environment with the steps of this post :
How to automatically configure the PetaLinux environment
- Third, customize Ubuntu to provide everything needed by PetaLinux with the steps of this post :

Stage 1
The first thing to do is to copy the installer file from the shared folder to a folder where we have permissions. This is because the installer file will be extracted and we have to write in that folder.
As the destination installation folder is placed in /opt, I propose to move the installer file there.
Ok, then we can launch the installation process with the following command :
cd /opt ./petalinux-v2018.2-final-installer.run /opt/petalinux-v2018.2-final
In a first step the installer will check the integrity of the file, which takes several minutes (7 minutes on my computer).
Then it will extract the file (6 minutes on my computer).
Stage 2
Then comes the license agreement steps.
So as it says, press Enter.
Stage 3
A first License text is displayed.
To read the whole text use your mouse or page up/down.
When finished press q.
Which leads you to this license approval request.
Just press y then Enter.
You will be requested to accept two more licences texts like this one.
Use the same procedure, read the text, press y and Enter.
Stage 4
Then the installation procedure starts, expect to spend some time waiting in front of your computer !!!
Here is the log where you can check steps

Stage 7
Ok, the Xilinx PetaLinux tool is installed.
To check that every thing is set up let's try to launch a create command.
Ok fine !
The command is recognized and launched. As the command has no arguments, PetaLinux displays the help of the command.
Well, now all the tools are ready, we can start designing !
Post Conclusion
Now we have :
- Prepared the system to enable the PetaLinux tool installation.
- Installed the PetaLinux tool.
- Prepared the system to enable the PetaLinux tool installation.
- Installed the PetaLinux tool.
