A pox on people using ancient stuff.

I think Sean wants to load an fpga image early in the boot process.

Try the image I posted a few days ago and drop a file called fpga.bin in
the FAT partition. U-boot SPL will load that fpga.bin file then load u-boot.

You can now build the fsbl directly from u-boot but dropping the ps7*
files in the right place. (See the OE recipe for how that is done there,
and copy if you are building u-boot from Xilinx git)

My understanding is the current release of Xilinx tools will give you
ps7 files with a license that is compatible with the GPL.
