Requirements

You should read pynq_sd_card:

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit (in a Virtual Machine)
• passwordless sudo
• Xilinx Vivado, SDx and PetaLinux (same version as BSP needed)

You also need a Xilinx Account for the BSP.

Quick Start

1. Clone PYNQ:

git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ.git

2. Install dependencies:

<PYNQ repository>/sdbuild/scripts/setup_host.sh

3. Clone this git outside the PYNQ directory:

git clone https://github.com/cklarhorst/pynq-boards.git

4. Download and copy the BSP Package into your board directory.

5. Update the BSP entry in your spec file under <PATH TO pynq-boards>/<YOUR BOARD>/<YOUR BOARD>.spec according to your BSP version

6. Build the image:

cd <PATH TO PYNQ>/sdbuild
make BOARDDIR="<PATH TO pynq-boards>" BOARDS="<YOUR BOARD>"

SD card image will be placed in the PYNQ/sdbuild/ directory.

FAQ

Build errors

which vivado | fgrep 2018.2
Makefile:307: recipe for target 'checkenv' failed

Solution

source /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.2/settings64.sh

Runtime errors

Most software only runs on specific boards, to run or install you can override your board environment variable (use a board with the same fpga/package), use at your own risk:

export BOARD="Pynq-Z1"

Note

It's a good idea to use qemu and build additional software (like tvm) on your host pc.
