I am using PYNQ [v3.0.1] on PYNQ Z2 board.  
I am very new to FPGA programming and this is the first board I am using. For the past month, I have been trying to connect an Arduino shield with my PYNQ Z2 board. I have a SparkFun CANBUS shield([CAN-BUS Shield - DEV-13262 - SparkFun Electronics](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13262)) and my goal is to connect it to PYNQ Z2. Can anyone guide me on how to go about this? I have tried a lot of things but have made no progress.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
