Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 does not boot on Mathworks Linux image on the SD. Stable red INIT_B and PS_ERR_OUT LEDs.

Hi,

I have just received my Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 Evaluation Kit and I would like to run this example: https://ch.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/ug/getting-started-with-hardware-software-codesign-workflow-for-zynq-ultrascale-mpsoc-devices.html

I've installed the two Coder Support Packages (i.e., the HDL and the Embedded Coder) and followed Section "Set up your Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC hardware and tools" form 1.1 to 2.2. However, when I power the dev board on with the SD card and the image provided by the Embedded Coder Support Package, the dev boad shows two red LEDs (INIT_B and PS_ERR_OUT) and I cannot end the setup procedure.

The SD card is new, I reformatted it to be sure. The Write Firmware procedure is successful (I can see new files are created in the SD). However, I wonder if I miss some files. A note in the Write Firmware procedure says "Do not take out inserted SD card. [...] Additional files are written in the next step. [...]", but at the same time the next procedure on the Hardware Setup requires to take the SD card out to insert it into the dev board.

The built-in self test (BIST) works properly, but it does not require to boot on the SD card.

How can I troubleshoot this issue? What could the cause be?

The issue is now fixed. I made sure to make a single FAT partition and repeated the procedure. The image files were saved on the SD card and the dev board can now boot (LEDs are green and no error is displayed).
