Announcing: PYNQ v3.0.1 for Avnet ZUBoard-1CG

Hi,

The SD card image is now available for download through PYNQ - Python productivity for Zynq - Board

The github can be found here: GitHub - Avnet/ZUBoard_1CG-PYNQ

This is the first release of PYNQ for this brand new board. The board features an AMD ZU1CG MPSoC part with similar fpga resources as the PYNQ Z1 & Z2 boards that use a AMD 7020 SoC. However the fpga logic for the ZUBoard is 16nm Ultrascale+ and it has 216 enhanced DSP48s. The CPUs on the ZU1 are 2 ARM53 and 2 R5 cores. The board is the least inexpensive MPSoC board that I know of at this time.

The ZUBoard can be purchased through Avnet’s website, found here: Avnet ZUBoard 1CG

Enjoy!

Appreciate the work.
But how do you check all the sanity of the Image?
This could help preventing the risk of possible development issue.

ENJOY~

Hi Brian, Thank you.

Don’t worry, I’ve been doing this for other boards and both U96’s since 2018 and I work directly with AMD when needed.

If there is a major issue of course we fix it and do another release :slight_smile:

Kind regards,

So you dont have any automation fault check nor base overlay to run most basic function on board to verify the sanity.
I guess it is better to label untested to others and remind this is just a Image without tested.

ENJOY~

@briansune thank you for your concern. You sound like you have a lot of experience in these matters. It would be very nice if you could help do additional verification. I may reach out to you when it comes time to do the next release.

May you all find PYNQ for the ZUBoard 1CG useful!

Kind regards

@pynqzen

Welcome to help, however, it will not do any harm to label as untested.
So reduce possible future troubles.

Even I had generated couples of MYIR board based PYNQ image, I won’t take the risk on releasing them as no strong and matured test script to verify the sanity of these images.

ENJOY~
