[meta-xilinx] Address location for binaries...

[Edward Vidal]

Alan,
This is how I finally got my zedboard to boot see all the posting with
meta-zynq and meta-topic jan & feb. I was seeing the same problem.

What is you build system?  I needed to switch to "Ubuntu-12.04"
from Fedora 19 for Xilinx tools xps needed to create fpga.bin.
Also needed to add bootgen from Xilinx tools to /usr/bin/

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.20.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-12.04"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "zedboard"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.5.1"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta
meta-yocto        = "dora:c3cccbea7abd4af3d603b2be42b0c7291ff21946"
meta-topic        = "master:9af0ecd7e756b367e0ec80263319247b6c2d69c3"
meta-oe
meta-multimedia
meta-gnome        = "dora:191499a2b54d04855284347ce5a067f998646be4"
meta-yocto-bsp    = "dora:c3cccbea7abd4af3d603b2be42b0c7291ff21946"

The creation of fpga.bin for me had a problem in
meta-topic/recipes-bsp/fpga/fpga-image.inc which I had a work around with
build_fpga.sh & topic.patch attached.

I have attached several other files that I hope helps.
If you need any other files let me know.  I hope this helps
