Xilinx's fork of the official Linux kernel, containing Xilinx-specific drivers and platform support for Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, Versal, and MicroBlaze devices. It tracks upstream Linux while adding vendor patches for Xilinx silicon.

Use cases

• build a linux kernel for a zynq ultrascale+ board
• find xilinx device tree and driver sources for versal
• customize kernel for embedded fpga soc project
• boot linux on a xilinx fpga development board
• debug xilinx-specific kernel drivers

When to choose

• you are deploying Linux on Xilinx Zynq, Versal, or MicroBlaze hardware
• you need Xilinx vendor drivers or device trees not yet in mainline
• you are building a PetaLinux or custom embedded image for Xilinx SoCs

When to avoid

• you need a generic Linux kernel for standard x86 or non-Xilinx hardware
• you want a stable, well-documented API rather than a vendor kernel fork
• you expect upstream-quality documentation and community support
