Board Setup

../images/pynqz1_setup.jpg
  1. Set the JP4 / Boot jumper to the SD position by placing the jumper over the top two pins of JP4 as shown in the image. (This sets the board to boot from the Micro-SD card)
  2. To power the PYNQ-Z1 from the micro USB cable, set the JP5 / Power jumper to the USB position. (You can also power the board from an external 12V power regulator by setting the jumper to REG.)
  3. Insert the Micro SD card loaded with the PYNQ-Z1 image into the Micro SD card slot underneath the board.
  4. Connect the USB cable to your PC/Laptop, and to the PROG - UART / J14 MicroUSB port on the board
  5. Connect the board to Ethernet by following the instructions below
  6. Turn on the PYNQ-Z1 and check the boot sequence by following the instructions below

Turning On the PYNQ-Z1

As indicated in step 6 of :ref:`pynqz1-board-setup`, slide the power switch to the ON position to turn on the board. The Red LD13 LED will come on immediately to confirm that the board has power. After a few seconds, the Yellow/Green LD12 / Done LED will light up to show that the Zynq® device is operational.

After a minute you should see two Blue LD4 & LD5 LEDs and four Yellow/Green LD0-LD3 LEDs flash simultaneously. The Blue LD4-LD5 LEDs will then turn on and off while the Yellow/Green LD0-LD3 LEDs remain on. The system is now booted and ready for use.
