[microblaze-uclinux] Booting the petalinux kernel with FS-boot

["Cor Venner" <cor.venner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there someone who can help me with this:

I'm trying to run Petalinux on a very basic system with only external SDRAM 
and a serial port. First I tried to download U-boot with FS-boot. U-boot 
displays its position into memory, then it falls back to the FS-Boot loader 
(it's like the board is reset).  So I tried downloading the kernel image 
directly with FS-boot.

Is it possible to boot the kernel with FS-boot?

I have tried this (image.srec) and got the following result:

=================================================
FS-BOOT First Stage Bootloader (c) 2006 PetaLogix
=================================================
FS-BOOT: System initialisation completed.
FS-BOOT: No existing image in FLASH.  Starting image download.
FS-BOOT: Waiting for SREC image....
FS-BOOT: Image download successful.
FS-BOOT: Warning image location differ from default boot location. Image 
will no
t boot automatically after POR.
FS-BOOT: Press 'n' to boot old image.
FS-BOOT: Use new image.
FS-BOOT: Booting image...
Found romfs @ 0x200e408c (0x00000000)
#### klimit 200f6000 ####
Moving 0x00000000 bytes from 0x200e408c to 0x200f523c
New klimit: 0x200f6000


Notice that romfs size is 0. I assume the the romfs is a part of 
"image.srec". According to the documentation it is described as "The Linux 
kernel and root filesystem image in SREC format". So how can the size be 0.

Is there someone who can help me.

Best regards, Cor Venner
