Getting started with PYNQ-Z2

equaltoall

 

I've been cutting my teeth with this board since Sunday night.  I completed all the lab one (with a great deal of effort required) prior to the first session of the "PYNQ-Z2: Embedded Vision Workshop (Zero to Hero) Series with Adam Taylor!" and followed along during the webinar on Tuesday.

Following the class, I figured I would flash another boot micro SD chip so any work that I did between now and the next class wouldn't jeopardize my chances of continuing where I left off for the second session.

After running an apt-get update from a terminal window started through Junyper. I started going through the online docs. When trying to follow the steps for "Alveo Getting Started Guide", I found that "pip install pynq" would not work, so I tried "pip3 install pynq"

When I tried the next step "pip3 install pynq-alveo-examples" I got the following feedback:

 

 


root@pynq:/home/xilinx# pip3 install pynq-alveo-examples

I'm going to keep plugging away at trying to get a better understanding.  At this point, I feel more than slightly overwhelmed.

  • Not sure I understand what you are trying to do here exactly.

     

    PYNQ-Z2 is a dev board made by Tul Corporation

    TUL

    and is the board that the PYNQ-Z2 Workshop expects you to be using.

     

    Alveo is a range of accelerator cards by Xilinx

    https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html

    and is not being used on the PYNQ-Z2 Workshop.

     

    If you completed Lab1 on Sunday, then I assume that you managed to follow along with the Tuesday workshop ok ?

     

    If you are looking for more PYNQ tutorials to try out on the PYNQ-Z2 following the workshop, then there is the PYNQ Tutorial Workshop here:

    https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ_Workshop

    (some of the Session 3 Logictools examples may look familiar)

    Some sessions require access to a handful of Seeed Studio 'Grove' light and temperature sensors and LED bargraph displays to complete.

    Thank you Dave! I did complete and follow along with the first day of the lesson, but I won't say that I feel comfortable with it. I don't have any prior experience with Python. I'd like to have a better understanding of structure and syntax, more so than just copying the examples.

     

    I didn't realize that the online docs for getting started with PYNQ covers 4 different boards and Alveo was one of the boards.(along with PYNQ-Z1 & ZCU104)

     

    Thank you for the link to the additional tutorials. I will check them out. Looks like I will need to order a few more components to go with the new lessons.

    I appreciate your help!
