petlainux 2017.4

Hello,
I try to use petalinux-2017-4 under arch (x86_64).

Installing was successful but using it failed.

Using the command:
"petalinux-config --get-hw-description"

ends in the code:

INFO: Getting hardware description...
cp: -r not specified; omitting directory '/home/akira/peta/zturn/build'
cp: -r not specified; omitting directory '/home/akira/peta/zturn/components'
cp: -r not specified; omitting directory '/home/akira/peta/zturn/project-spec'
INFO: Rename design_1_wrapper.hdf to system.hdf
[INFO] generating Kconfig for project
ERROR: Failed to generate /home/akira/peta/zturn/build/misc/config/Kconfig.syshw
ERROR: Failed to Kconfig project
ERROR: Failed to generate System hardware Kconfig file.

Any idea what I missed installing?

(btw same command in CentOS runs fine)

Can you give us some background? What is petalinux? Where did you get it and/or how did you install it? There are no packages for it in the repos or AUR that I can find.

A web search suggests it may be the SDK for Xilinx which from what I gather may be a hardware architecture. Is this on the right track or did I find the wrong thing?

Petalinux is a set of tools and a linux distribution from Xilinx designed for the zynq architecture (FPGA+ARM SoC).
On the xilinx homepage you can download a tar.gz containing a run script.

Arch ARM have their own support forums. We only support Arch here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … .2Aonly.2A

Closing, for deletion.
My misunderstanding, my apologies.

Misunderstanding: reinstated.

For those who have not worked with FPGAs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-pro … gate_array), the discussion here regards tools that run on a host system that allow you to build a configuration image for a FPGA that, when uploaded to the FPGA, will cause that FPGA to implement an ARM processor and glue hardware logic that will boot and run an embedded Linux on that part.

In general, we would not support the Linux system that runs on the ARM core in the FPGA; but it does seem reasonable we would support the tools that run on the host system. Hence, the misunderstanding.
