Linux application project for zynq7000 in the Xilinx SDK

Question

I'm trying to create a Linux application to run on my Zynq7020. However I don't understand how the Xilinx SDK generate the executable file.

When I create a hello world, for instance, it creates one .elf file and under the debug it creates one object (.o) and one dependency (.d). I want to run it under the Linux that is running on my board, how do I do it?

Thank you very much.

I want to run it under the Linux that is running on my board, how do I do it?

Most likely, you just need to copy/download the .elf file to your target board and run it.

If that doesn't work, try editing your question to supply more info. In particular, what commands "create a hello world" actually executes?

Answer 2

When creating the project in the Xilinx SDK, select that it runs on linux rather than standalone. See this official tutorial for an in-depth explanation.
