  1. Change into the directory of your PetaLinux project.
    $ cd <plnx-proj-root>
  2. Run petalinux-build to build the system image:
    $ petalinux-build

    This step generates a device tree DTB file, a first stage boot loader (for Zynq® devices, Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC, and MicroBlaze™ ), PLM (for Versal® ACAP), PSM (for Versal ACAP) and TF-A (for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and Versal ACAP), U-Boot, the Linux kernel, a root file system image, and the U-Boot boot script (boot.scr). Finally, it generates the necessary boot images.

  3. The compilation progress shows on the console. Wait until the compilation finishes.
Tip: A detailed compilation log is in <plnx-proj-root>/build/build.log.

When the build finishes, the generated images are stored in the <plnx-proj-root>/images/linux or /tftpboot directories.

The console shows the compilation progress. For example:

$ petalinux-build
