Hi,
We have recently updated the documentation for Ultra96 and added in a guide that goes through the process of getting a PetaLinux Build setup and running on your board.
I’ve kept this guide to a bare minimum as the PetaLinux SDK is fairly comprehensive.
https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/ultra96/build/peta-linux.md.html
Hello. I installed and builded petalinux project step by step watching this tutorial. After I insert SD card to my ultra96 board it boots fine, everything works as expected except then I try to turn off board by pressing power switch it does not react to it, I have to manualy turn off ultra96 board by pressing power button and holding it for 10 seconds. In my opinion power button interrupt does not work properly. Is it known issue or this happens only to me? Factory reset image works fine
The Ultra96 has an On/Off controller tied to the Power Push Button. While operating, a push of the button will toggle a signal that is intended to be the power off interrupt to the processor. However, this has to be built into the design. This is part of the posted PetaLinux 2018.2 BSP if you want to see an example of this.
If the interrupt is not connected/enabled, you can also shutdown Linux the standard way from the command line with “shutdown -h now”

The Power Push Button definitely doesn’t work with the posted PetaLinux 2018.2 BSP.
shutdown -h now also does not power off the board.
Has anyone any ideas of how to get this working?
Many thanks
Andy
I just built this the day before. Working fine on my end.
Please check
Hi Thanks for the reply,
Yep dip switch is set correctly, sd card is properly inserted and card is flashed correctly.
Everything boots up and work correctly apart from the power off does not work.
I have done the build 2 times following your instructions, I have also tried with the linux partition from the original card,
I will try a third time but my guess here is that it will be the same.
Do you have any info of how this should work, I have looked at the vivido project and there is nothing there at the FPGA so I am guessing it is at another level?
Many thanks
Andy
Ok, sorry I didn’t catch that you were talking about power off specifically.
I do need to test that.
As for shutdown you can try the “shutdown -p now” command
Ah, ok 
I tried that and poweroff, nothing seems to work. Something is just not connected up correctly somewhere.
I have looked at the “power” documents for the chip and it seems to be highly complicated.
I will post on the Xilinx site and reply here with any info.
Thanks for the help and the original guide.
Andy
Hi Ric,
Info on how to fix has been posted here: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/Ultra96-BSP-Power-Off-not-working/m-p/914349/highlight/false#M30466

I need help fixing segmentation faults occurring when petalinux-build runs on Debian testing. Those, and the fact that petalinux-build is unable to fetch packages in general. This is not a network issue.
Following the guide, petalinux-create works OK but petalinux-build fails with thousands of package fetching errors:
Summary: There were 1795 WARNING messages shown.
Summary: There were 3589 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.
I built various Yocto distros in the same environment many times before. Can you tell me what I should do differently for PetaLinux to build? My environment is pretty standard: no network proxy or NAT, and the file system is native - ext4. I have plenty of free space in the drive partition for those packages. The drive partition is on a fast USB3 drive.
I tried PetaLinux 2018.2 and 2018.3 with the same result. (To use 2018.2 on Debian one has to fix the xsct script and remove the locale sanity check in Yocto but that has been known for a while and I’ll omit describing the fixes. 2018.3 has those fixed already.) There are local file system fetch errors that look like that:
