Welcome to the PYNQ community.

I would suggest trying to add the XVC driver locally to your project and trying it out this way.

Copy this file next to your Notebook/Python code and import it before you create the Overlay object.

pynq/lib/debugbridge.py

class _DebugBridgeXVCServerThread(Thread):
    def __init__(self, dbridge, bufferLen=4096, serverAddress="0.0.0.0",
                 serverPort=2542, reconnect=True, verbose=True):
        Thread.__init__(self)

        self.dbridge = dbridge
        self.bufferLen = 4096

        self.dbridge = dbridge
        self.dbrf = self.dbridge.register_map

This should allow you to do what I described in my blog
