- ZCU102 - PYNQ 3.0 I am trying to install Pynq on a ZCU102 board. I have tried following the guide [PYNQ SD Card image — Python productivity for Zynq (Pynq)](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pynq_sd_card.html#pynq-sd-card), although I can’t follow exactly what steps are required. So far, I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS via an SD card. From here I have tried _pip install pynq_, but this returned a **error legacy-install-failure**. I believe this is because I don’t have Pynq image on the SD card. I have looked into making an image for ZCU102. I have downloaded the rootfs aarch64 v3.0.1, Pynq source dist v3.0.1 and have Xilinx Vitis/Vivado 2022 and Petalinux installed on a Ubuntu OS. What do I need to change for this to work with the ZCU102? Is it simply following the **Elements of the specification file** section, and changing ZCU104 to ZCU102? Or is there more required? Once this is done, can I just follow Steps 1-4 of **Building the Image From Source** , and that will create the image I need? Thank you. ---

Hi there, Installing the pynq python package requires quite a few dependencies, including binary downloads. If you’re doing this on a Canonical provided Ubuntu image, your best bet would be to adapt some of the install steps from [Kria-Pynq](https://github.com/Xilinx/Kria-PYNQ/blob/main/install.sh), I think that’s the closest we have to an example of installing it on non-PYNQ Ubuntu images. Here’s a relevant post on this process [An Attempt to Install PYNQ on Ubuntu for ZCU102](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/an-attempt-to-install-pynq-on-ubuntu-for-zcu102/3809) For creating a full PYNQ image, I don’t think you need to change much, you’re right you’d need to provide a zcu102.bsp and change the .spec file accordingly. There’s a relevant post on this as well: [Failed to build PYNQ image file for ZCU102](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/failed-to-build-pynq-image-file-for-zcu102/4830) Thanks Shawn ---

Thanks Shawn for the speedy response. Turns out creating a full PYNQ image isn’t an option, given some limitations. I had a look at the Kria-Pynq install steps and found the branch for ZCU102 [GitHub - ATchelet/ZCU102-PYNQ](https://github.com/ATchelet/ZCU102-PYNQ), and it looks promising for my needs. Will report back when I get a chance to run it. ---
