I have PYNQ Z2 but it doesn’t boots. It can programmed with verilog bu I can’t boot it from SD Card. I tried many things like giving power source as demanded from several cables, sources etc, changed ethernet cable many times changed SD Card many times but when I powered on my FPGA it doesn’t lights on any LED and any responses of booting. But as I said it can be programmed by usb port.

Hi @Alp_Eren_Kiyak,

Welcome to the PYNQ community.

Have you followed the Setup Guide?

[https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting\_started/pynq\_z2\_setup.html](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/pynq_z2_setup.html)

You can also troubleshoot using the serial interface as described here

Hi Mario  
Yes I have followed the Setup Guide and also several other guides, Thanks for your response. Let me try the USB serial interface in my free time and I will respond to it again.
