PYNQ is an open-source project from Xilinx® that makes it easier to use Xilinx platforms.
Using the Python language and libraries, designers can exploit the benefits of programmable logic and microprocessors to build more capable and exciting electronic systems.
The repository adds support for Aldec boards based on Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+:
Download pre-built PYNQ 3.0.1 image for TySOM-3-ZU7EV or TySOM-3A-ZU19EG:
Using pre-built image is a preferred way to use PYNQ with TySOM boards.
Extract the downloaded 7z package and flash a micro SD card with PYNQ image.
Use Balena Etcher or Win32 Disk Imager to copy the .img file onto an SD card 16GB or larger.
Advanced users can build own image. The build process takes several hours to finish.
- Ubuntu 20.04 host machine (can be virtual)
- installed Xilinx Vivado 2022.1 tool
- installed Xilinx Petalinux 2022.1 tool
- sudo privileges
- at least 80 GB of free disk space for build process
- recommended 16 GB RAM for host machine

The repository contains board files for Aldec boards and script for preparing PYNQ image. The script downloads PYNQ source, generic PYNQ image and build all components.
Before running the script, source settings file for Vivado 2022.1 and Petalinux 2022.1.
source <vivado_2022_1_path>/settings64.sh
source <petalinux_2022_1_path>/settings.sh
Build the image for TySOM-3-ZU7EV:
./build.sh 1
or TySOM-3A-ZU19EG:
./build.sh 2
If the build crashes due to not satisfied software requirements then run setup_host.sh script:
./build/PYNQ/sdbuild/scripts/setup_host.sh
and rerun build.sh.
