Tony you have officially become one of the deities in my little temple of all the people on the internet that helped me with a university project. The Xilinx guide was helpful but with someone explaining its contents it becomes much easier. Again thank you.

Thanks for making this! Hope to see many more!

Hey Tony, it was great to see this video. It will be great if you upload a project that takes things from VHDL, block diagrams to Petalinux. Define different parts and how can we configure them. Maybe a small series of lectures will be great. Especially when we want to store system contents on QSPI and eMMC. Actually, I am an HDL FPGA /ASIC guy and I am really looking for some sources that can teach me FPGA software design flow.
Your lecture was anyway great. :)

Could we get a similar kind of guide on using bootgen, both CLI and GUI?

Thank you for an excellent and comprehensive introduction to the Petalinux build process. Regarding using Petalinux sstate cache artifacts, how does one deal with a situation such as for version 2021.1 where there is both sstate and downloads available plus sstate-update1 and downloads-update1. How are they specified in the petalinux build process?

I'm totally new about Petalinux, I always see people running it in a VM. Why not directly with a Linux machine?

Can i install OS in zedboard/PYNQ Z2 Board

[TheAstronomyDude]

Can it run regular Linux, like a Raspberry Pi ?

[chillydickie]

do you code with the piano keyboard? haha

[myetis]

should have focused on the filesystem packages explanation.

WHERE ARE THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS? WHY ARE YOU USING AN ALREADY-INSTALLED MACHINE?

[Bangbabes-kgmo]

Painful! Going off on tangents at every opportunity, a nearly nonlinear explanation of events. Listening to you felt like dragging my bare toe nail across tarmac
