Hi Charles,

I managed to get machinekit running on the Zed board and Zturn board.

I used instructions on this site to get petalinux kernel loaded.
https://medium.com/developments-and-implementations-on-zynq-7000-ap/install-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-zynq-zc702-using-petalinux-2016-4-e1da902eaff7

I used mksocfpga repo from Cameroon: https://github.com/cmcquinn/mksocfpga
As his scripts were Vivado version independent (or atleast worked for 
Vivado version 2017.2). The mksocfpga is stuck on vivado 2015.4 and I could 
only be compiled on the docker image

I also followed these instructions from Xilinx to make sure I had an RT 
kernel with petalinux: https://pastebin.com/Pk04f5At

I also used a rootfs from rcn: https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2017-10-12/elinux/ 
https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2017-10-12/elinux/debian-9.2-console-armhf-2017-10-12.tar.xz

Then it was putting the petalinux generated files: BOOT.BIN, image.ub and 
system.dtb into a boot partition on SD card. Copying the rootfs on the SD 
card rootfs partition. 
Instructions for doing this are on : 
https://medium.com/developments-and-implementations-on-zynq-7000-ap/install-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-zynq-zc702-using-petalinux-2016-4-e1da902eaff7

Then download the machinekit source from the github repo. Install the 
dependencies (there are a lot of those) and compile and launch machinekit. 

I do want to harmonize the above steps with the official machinekit 
versions but I am not able to figure it out.

Hope you can help with that part.

Regards,
-automata.
