That boards should have just different DDR memory because origin was EOL.

Take a look at this mainline commit.
commit 47cc45a91ccc86c718fef7e8a00188e1047cf3dd
    arm64: zynqmp Add support for zcu102 rev1.1

You need to also add pmu.bin and pmu_obj.bin

CONFIG_PMUFW_INIT_FILE="pmu.bin"
CONFIG_ZYNQMP_SPL_PM_CFG_OBJ_FILE="pmu_obj.bin"


pmu.bin is just binary from pmu.elf which you can take from petalinux or
build it yourself.
pmu_obj.bin based on Luca's way. I personally is taking it from
petalinux fsbl.
I didn't try it for a while but this was sort of latest version.

$ cat extract-pmufw
#!/bin/bash
# Written by Michal Simek

FSBL=fsbl
PMCFG=pmu_obj.bin

PM_END=`aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -D ${FSBL}.elf | sed -n
'/<XPm_ConfigObject>:/,/^$/p' | tail -n 2 | head -n 1 | cut -c 5-12 |
awk '{printf ("0x%s",$1)}'`
PM_START=`aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -D ${FSBL}.elf | sed -n
'/<XPm_ConfigObject>:/,/^$/p' | head -n 1 | awk '{printf ("0x%s",$1)}'`

FSBL_START=`aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -a ${FSBL}.elf | grep "Entry point
address" | awk '{print $4}'`

PM_OBJECT_START=`echo $((${PM_START} - ${FSBL_START}))`
PM_OBJECT_SIZE=`echo $((${PM_END} - ${PM_START}))`
PM_OBJECT_SIZE=`echo $((${PM_OBJECT_SIZE} + 4))`

echo "FSBL starting address ${FSBL_START}"
echo "FSBL object addresses ${PM_START} ${PM_END}"
echo "OBJECT start ${PM_OBJECT_START} size ${PM_OBJECT_SIZE}"

aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -O binary ${FSBL}.elf ${FSBL}.bin

# Extracting config object
dd if=${FSBL}.bin of=${PMCFG} bs=1 skip=${PM_OBJECT_START}
count=${PM_OBJECT_SIZE} > /dev/null 2>&1



And then simply build it like this.
export DEVICE_TREE=zynqmp-zcu102-rev1.1
make xilinx_zynqmp_virt_defconfig
make -j8

If you want to have ATF just copy bl31.bin to u-boot root ro use BL31
variable to generate u-boot.itb with it.

And that should be it.

Thanks,
Michal
