Xfsbl-error-bitstream-load-fail < iPhone >

If any of the above fail, the FSBL sets the status to XFSBL_ERROR_BITSTREAM_LOAD_FAIL (often accompanied by a sub-error code like XST_PCAP_ERROR or XST_DEVICE_DONE_FAIL ).

The xfsbl-error-bitstream-load-fail error is a critical stop in the boot chain, but it is not a dead end. It tells you precisely that the FSBL successfully ran, initialized the PS, but could not wake up the PL. xfsbl-error-bitstream-load-fail

The FSBL attempted to load a bitstream (FPGA configuration file) into the Programmable Logic (PL) portion of the device, but the . If any of the above fail, the FSBL

file generated by the same version of Vivado used to create the FSBL. JTAG Interference: The FSBL attempted to load a bitstream (FPGA

In some designs, if DDR is not ready, the FSBL might attempt to use On-Chip Memory (OCM), which is too small for large bitstreams. Newer FSBL versions include a macro XFSBL_PL_LOAD_FROM_OCM to manage this behavior. Troubleshooting Steps Verify via JTAG:

Before diving into the error, it is crucial to understand the FSBL is trying to do when this error occurs.
