PYNQ

(PY)thon on Zy(NQ)

SDCard Image Files

• All Pynq-Z1 images including the latest are available here:

file://xsj-pvstd2t01-w/xrlabs/grahams/public/pynq-z1_images/

• All Zybo images including the latest are available here:

file://xsj-pvstd2t01-w/xrlabs/grahams/public/zybo_images/

• After imaging, change Zybo's hostname to avoid network conflicts

sudo /home/xilinx/scripts/hostname.sh A_UNIQUE_HOSTNAME

Updating pynq using update_pynq.sh

This is a recommended way to update the pynq package. The script will do the following:

• Back up the existing package on board.
• Git clone from the repository.
• Install the pynq package.
• Copy board-specific files into the pynq package.
• Copy Jupyter notbooks.
• (Optional) Build the documentation.

To run this script, first verify the $BOARD environment variable has been set correctly:

echo $BOARD

• If $BOARD is not set, add export BOARD=<board_name> (e.g., <board_name> can be Zybo or Pynq-Z1) to /home/xilinx/.profile. Then either reboot the board, or run the following:

source /home/xilinx/.profile

• If $BOARD has already been set, just run:

sudo /home/xilinx/script/update_pynq.sh

Updating pynq using pip

It is not recommended to update pynq using pip, since there are still many board-specific files to be copied from the repository.

The developer mode will pull entire github repository into /src, but again, the board-specific files are not copied to pynq.
