Chapter 6: Boot and Configuration
6.3 BootROM
The BootROM executes after a system reset to configure the PS as described in the introduction. This
section provides the details of the boot process, the format of the BootROM Header, the BootROM
performance with examples, the functions and needs of each boot device, the various boot images,
and the boot failure error codes.
This section includes the following subsections:
• 6.3.1 BootROM Flowchart
• 6.3.2 BootROM Header
• 6.3.3 BootROM Performance
• 6.3.4 Quad-SPI Boot
• 6.3.5 NAND Boot
• 6.3.6 NOR Boot
• 6.3.7 SD Card Boot
• 6.3.8 JTAG Boot
• 6.3.9 Reset, Boot, and Lockdown States
• 6.3.10 BootROM Header Search
• 6.3.11 MultiBoot
• 6.3.12 BootROM Error Codes
• 6.3.13 Post BootROM State
• 6.3.14 Registers Modified by the BootROM – Examples
6.3.1 BootROM Flowchart
Zynq-7000 configuration starts after a system reset. The overall boot process is illustrated in
Figure 6-1, page 150 and the BootROM execution is shown in Figure 6-5, page 169. CPU 0 executes
the BootROM code with the DAP and TAP JTAG controllers disabled. The DDR memory controller and
other peripherals are not initialized by the BootROM.
The PL power-up and initialization sequences can occur in parallel with or after the PS start-up. If the
BootROM needs the PL powered up, then early in the BootROM execution the BootROM writes to the
devcfg.CTRL [PCFG_PROG_B] bit and waits for the devcfg.STATUS [PCFG_INIT] bit to assert before
proceeding with BootROM execution.
Holding the PROG_B signal low externally could prevent the PS from booting.
PL power is needed for PCAP access and image decryption. The BootROM tests the PL state before
accessing its resources using a 90 second timeout.
