Petalinux hangs during boot

1

I am trying to boot linux on a zedboard and monitor all memory accesses through Programmable Logic. I am first trying to boot linux with a start address  0x40000000. I am following this article  https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/460653138/Xilinx+Open+Source+Linux 

Petalinux boot hangs at this point when I try to boot from SD card.

Here's the steps I followed,
Download the below sources from the Xilinx git repository.
⦁   The Linux kernel with Xilinx patches and drivers
    git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx.git
⦁   The u-boot bootloader with Xilinx patches and drivers
    git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx.git
⦁   Device Tree compiler (required to build U-Boot)
    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git

Build FSBL: Built the First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL) application in the Vitis software platform, https://www.xilinx.com/html_docs/xilinx2020_1/vitis_doc/creatingnewzynqfsblappproj.html

Build Device Tree Compiler (dtc):

make
export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH

Edited u-boot-xlnx/include/configs/zynq_common.h:
# define DFU_ALT_INFO_RAM \
        "dfu_ram_info=" \
        "setenv dfu_alt_info " \
        "${kernel_image} ram 0x43000000 0x500000\\\\;" \
        "${devicetree_image} ram 0x42A00000 0x20000\\\\;" \
        "${ramdisk_image} ram 0x42000000 0x600000\0" \
        "dfu_ram=run dfu_ram_info && dfu 0 ram 0\0" \
        "thor_ram=run dfu_ram_info && thordown 0 ram 0\0"

cd to u-boot directory "cd u-boot-xlnx".
Add tool chain to path and then set tool chain 
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
echo $CROSS_COMPILE
export ARCH=arm
echo $ARCH
To Configure sources for Zynq Zedboard and to build u boot for Zedboard:
make distclean
make xilinx_zynq_virt_defconfig
export DEVICE_TREE="zynq-zed"
make

To make mkimage available in other steps, it is recommended to add the tools directory to your $PATH.
cd tools
export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH

Modifying the root filesystem: 
Wrapping the image with a U-Boot header:
mkimage -A arm -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x40000000 -e 0x40000000 -d arm_ramdisk.image.gz uarm_ramdisk.image.gz

Built kernel:
Made changes to the device tree in arch/arm/boot/dts
memory {
        device_type = "memory";
        reg = <0x40000000 0x20000000>;
    };
cd to u-boot directory "cd linux-xlnx/".
make ARCH=arm xilinx_zynq_defconfig
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x40008000 uImage
Built the Device tree:
make ARCH=arm zynq-zed.dtb

Created boot image,
the_ROM_image : {
        [bootloader]fsbl.elf
        u-boot.elf
        [load=0x42a00000]zynq-zed.dtb
        [load=0x42000000]uarm_ramdisk.image.gz
        [load=0x43000000]uImage.bin   // currently bootgen requires a file extension. this is just a renamed uImage
}

Generating the boot image:
bootgen -image boot.bif -arch zynq -o /<Path to store Boot.bin>/BOOT.bin

Copied BOOT.bin, u-boot.elf, fsbl.elf, zynq-zed.dtb and uarm_ramdisk.image.gz contents to the SD card. When i insert SD card to the board, I see just blank screen.

Kindly let me know what could be the issue here?

Regards,

Prasanna
