- PYNQ version 3.1, PYNQ Z2 board and Vitis 2022.2

- So i’ve been trying to follow this brilliant tutorial by FPGA Revolution [(link)] ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpt2N7\_\_NQ&t=90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpt2N7__NQ&t=90s)) and i have been facing the failed to create application error, i generated the bitstream from vivado 2022.2 and exported it as an .xsa file to vitis

Hi @Hrishikesh_Ranjit,

Welcome to the PYNQ community.

You may be better off asking for support in the Xilinx forums.
