    Hello,

    If you use a custom image, you need to take care of several items:

    1- Device tree is up to date.

    2- zImage is compiled successfully without any error.

    3- rbf file is available in the FAT partition.

    4- preloader/uboot should be up-to-date with the FPGA design.

    Please double check the items below, and let me know if none can help.

    Thank you

Hello,

May I know if you are using the default sdcard image file, or you build your custom image? This might be due to either corrupted image, or invalid data read from sdcard.

Thank you
