I have lately needed to get Ubuntu running on my Zynq, and as usual, it required a bit more a following a recipe. My final goal was to run a macro benchmark where the task was to compile the Linux Kernel for ARM in the Zynq itself. In this post, I will go through what are the necessary steps to get Ubuntu running on the Zynq, what is needed to get a working apt-get, and finally how to fix some compilation errors when compiling the kernel. Note that the last point is not specific for the kernel, but it can happen even when compiling a simple Hello World.

The Kernel – Understanding, Modifying, Building and Installing
Once we have understood how our device boots up, we will then cover the technical aspects of how to flash our device.

We cover them in different posts, continuing here with The Kernel.
