Note: The u-boot.elf generated by PetaLinux removed the device tree info from the elf from 2021.1. U-boot-dtb.elf is generated for compatible usages. To use the Vitis 2021.1 auto-generated BIF and qemu_args.txt files, which were created to simplify the platform creation process, we can rename u-boot-dtb.elf to u-boot.elf in boot directory. Thus u-boot can work properly in both hardware and emulation. In next release, Vitis auto-generated qemu_args.txt will update to use the u-boot.elf without dtb and the standalone system.dtb file for emulation.

Note: The file names in are placeholders. Vitis will replace the placeholders with the relative path to platform during platform packaging. V++ packager, which runs when building the final application would expand it further to the full path during image packaging. Filename placeholders point to the files in boot components directory. The filenames in boot directory need to match with placeholders in BIF file. is a reserved keyword. V++ packager will replace it with the final system bit file.

Note: Starting from 2020.2, Vitis will setup default QEMU arguments to enable Vitis platform emulation. If there are additional QEMU settings, please write your own qemu_args.txt and set the file name in QEMU Arguments field.

Note: The generated platform is placed in the export directory. BSP and source files are also provided for re-building the FSBL and PMU if desired and are associated with the platform. The platform is ready to be used for application development.
