[meta-xilinx] kernel resetting at boot

[Sipke Vriend]

Hi Edward,

It looks like the u-boot you build is ok, but there is also a dedicated
recipe for the 2013.07 version 
meta-xilinx/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-xlnx_2013.07.bb
You can enable it simply by specifying only
PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot-xlnx ?= "v2013.07%"
in your local.conf.
So I would use that, unless you specifically want to build the latest on master 
of https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx, as the master branch
might shift on you at any time.

I think your problem might be related to the u-boot log entry
> ** Unable to read file uramdisk.image.gz **
I could not see any manual steps to load an alternative rootfs image.

Did you remember to copy the ramdisk from the deploy/images directory?
If not, that could be the issue. If you did it might be the wrong type or corrupt?
From meta-xilinx/docs/BOOT.sdcard
" RootFS: uramdisk.image.gz (core-image-minimal-<machine name>.ext2.gz.u-boot)"
That's the one you need.

Hope that helps.
Cheers
Sipke
