Hi jagan,

many thanks for response and help.

It is now bit more cleaner to me ... in final i wan't to use hw guys 
output (ps7_* files) and build my software.
At this point i think, i don't need the Vivado or Xilinx SDK at all ... 
just my ARM toolchain and u-boot. Fine.

For the beginning i will use mmc (or maybe jtag). Finally i must use 
qspi. I think the QSPI support can be found on your github [1].

I've downloaded [1] ... and run:

~/work/u-boot-zynq $ tools/zynq-boot-bin.py
test.py -u <inputfile> -o <outputfile>

What is the input file ?
For my understanding, i need 2 input files (SPL and u-boot), or i'm wrong ?

best regards,
Hannes
