Installing PYNQ using Conda (Anaconda)

Support
1

I have jupyter notebooks software installed on my Windows laptop using Anaconda (Conda) software.

I am using the following book:
Software Defined Radio with Zynq UltraScale + RFSoc book by Louise Crockett et al
and the RFSoC 4x2 board by Real Digital.

This book has two types of jupyter notebooks:

  1. Notebooks that do not require SoC board and
  2. Notebooks that need SoC board

I am able run the jupyter notebooks that don’t need SoC board.

But the notebooks that neeed SoC 4X2 board are giving following errors:

import pynq

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 import pynq

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pynq’

How to fix above error?

I am using
Conda install pynq
command but getting following errors:

C:\Users\ssjus>conda install pynq

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

You can download the latest PYNQ image for the RFSoC 4x2 board here:
http://www.pynq.io/board.html
This is a Ubuntu based bootable image that you burn to an SD card. PYNQ is included as part of the image.

Thank you for your reply.
I have SD card ubuntu burned on it.
The RFSoC 4x2 board is correctly booting and displaying IP address 192.168.3.1 on the LCD display of the board.

I am still getting Module Not Found Error: No module named ‘pynq’.

How to fix this error please?

Thanks,
