Best Vivado/Vitis Version for PYNQ-Z1 with SD Image v3.0.1 or Most Stable Combo?

Hi all,

is there a stable and recommended Vivado & Vitis version for working with the PYNQ-Z1 board using SD Card Image v3.0.1?

Alternatively, what is the most commonly used and stable setup for the PYNQ-Z1 board?
I’m looking for the best combination of:

  • SD Card Image version
  • Vivado/Vitis version

Ideally, something that has full support from the PYNQ team, a large community of users, and is proven to be stable for development.

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I don’t know whether full support exist. You can check PYNQ SD Card image for image vs Vivado versions. I think all versions released on PYNQ websites are known as stable versions.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much, @mtsanic — this is exactly what I needed!

From the table, it looks like each PYNQ SD Card Image version is tied to a specific version of the Xilinx Tools (Vivado/Vitis).

Just to confirm: If I’m using PYNQ SD Card Image version v3.0.1, I should be using Xilinx Tool (Vivado/Vitis) version 2022.1, correct?

So that means installing the latest Xilinx Tool (Vivado/Vitis) version 2024.2 for use with PYNQ SD Card Image version v3.0.1 is not recommended, right?

Hi @ACDC ,

You are right, they say it is not recommended. I used 2023.1 before, it didn’t show any problems though. If you want to use 2024.2 with PYNQ, I believe you need to compile everything yourself.

Best! :smiley:
