List and usage of tools.

petalinux-copy-autoconfig

Usage:
        petalinux-copy-autoconfig OPTIONS [projectfile]

Required:

Optional parameters (and default value):
        -p platform
                The name of the platform.  Auto-detect if not specified.

        -v vendor
                Vendor name for platform. Auto-detect if not specified.

        -k kernel_ver (2.4 / 2.6)
                Force kernel version to target. Auto-detect if not specified
                Not recommended

        -noupdateconfig
                Don't update kernel configuration settings (not recommended).

        projectfile
                Filename of the EDK platform studio project (system.xmp).
                If .xmp suffix is missing it will be inferred.
                If a path prefix is specified, the full path and name of the
                XMP file must be specified.

        Options -p and -v must be specified together.  If either is
        missing, then an autodetect is attempted.

petalinux-jtag-boot

Usage : petalinux-jtag-boot [ -p projfile[.xmp] ] -t <target> -a <startaddr> [-c cmdline] -i <imagefile> [-x xmd_connect_args]  \
            [ -t <target> -a <startaddr> [-c cmdline] -i <imagefile> ] \
            [ -t <target> -a <startaddr> [-c cmdline] -i <imagefile> ] ...

Boot a MicroBlaze / Linux system via JTAG (using Xilinx XMD utility)

 -p project            -    specify EDK project file (system.xmp)
 -t target             -    specify target CPU (0 to N-1)
 -a startaddr          -    Load / start address of kernel image
 -c cmdline            -    Kernel command line (use quotes for multiple parameters)
 -i imagefile          -    uClinux-dist type image.bin (or linux.bin)
 -x xmd_connect_args   -    XMD connect argument sting for specific XMD connection options

petalinux-new-app

Usage:
        petalinux-new-app [-force] app-name

Required:
        app-name        The name of the new application

Optional:
        -force          Force overwriting an existing application directory

petalinux-new-platform

Usage:
        petalinux-new-platform [-force] [-k kernelver ] [-v vendor] -p platform

Required:
        -p platform     The name of the new platform

Optional parameters (and default value):
        -v vendor       Vendor name for new board (PetaLogix)

        -force          Force overwriting an existing platform if required (no).

petalinux-reloc-blob

Usage:
        petalinux-reloc-blob [-l default-load-addr] -i payload.elf -o blobname

Description:
        Generate a PIC executable blob that copies the payload to its
        linked address and executes it.  The blob itself may be loaded
        to any physical address and executed, provided that
                1) The payload's linked address is writeable
                2) The blob's and payload's addresses don't overlap

        Generates blobname.[srec|elf|bin] files into the working directory

Required:
        -i payload[.elf]
                the fully relocated ELF file that will be the payload.
        -o blobname
                basename of the resulting blob files.

Optional:
        -l default-load-addr
                address at which FS-boot will load the stub+payload

petalinux-remove-platform

Usage:
        petalinux-remove-platform [-k kernelver] -v vendor -p platform

Required:
        -p platform     The name of the platform
        -v vendor       The vendor name for the platform

Optional:
        -k kernelver    Specify kernel version (2.4/2.6) (default 2.6)

petalinux-boot-prebuilt

Usage:
  petalinux-boot-prebuilt -p platform_name -k kernel_version
                                [-l boot_level ]

    1 - Boot FS-Boot only
    2 - Boot U-Boot only
    3 - Boot Linux Kernel only
    4 - Boot platform with complete board bring-up.  '''Writes data to Flash memory'''
