  • Added support for selecting desired Yocto eSDK when installing PetaLinux tool, so you can install PetaLinux tools for specific platforms only such as MicroBlaze, Zynq-7000, ZynqMP and Versal.
  • Added support for upgrading desired Yocto eSDK with already installed PetaLinux tool, means you can upgrade PetaLinux tools for specific platforms only such as MicroBlaze, Zynq-7000, ZynqMP and Versal from current version to release version.
  • Reduced installed tool size by removing minimal download and sstate cache files.
  • Yocto eSDK now is part of PetaLinux tools.
  • Added warnings message if the xsa changes in the specified directory.
  • Removed meta-plnx-generated layer from PetaLinux project to minimize build time.
  • Added compiler configuration in petalinux-config options for PMUFW and FSBL where you can pass PMUFW/FSBL Debug or Compiler flags to build.
  • Added support for remote source for apps when you create apps using petalinux-create commands.
  • Default PetaLinux build images are INITRD based.
  • Added support for building open source bootgen from PetaLinux for on-target use.
  • Added archiver option in petalinux-build command which will pack all the source and licenses of petalinux-build packages.
  • Added support for SD Image creation with required boot partition using Yocto WIC utility.
  • Added support for mechanism and infrastructure for users to work with readily available dtsi files instead of relying on XSA for FPGA Manager.
  • Added support for xen-image-builder in PetaLinux where it generates a U-Boot script with kernel offsets auto-calculated that can be used to load all of the binaries automatically and boot the full system.
  • Added support for unified kernel and rootfs images
    • Zynq-7000 devices
    • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC/RFSoC devices
