Is installing PYNQ on VMK180 possible?

Hi, I’m trying to install pynq on a versal vmk180 eval board running petalinux 2021.2 Linux plnx-vmk180-prod 5.10.0-xilinx-v2021.2 #1 SMP Tue Oct 12 09:30:57 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I get the following error message when I try to install pynq using pip install pynq. I wondering if installing pynq on the vmk180 is possible when the build dependencies are met. For instance, it looks like the boost libs are missing in the current image.

PYNQ isn’t currently supported on Versal.

Is the support of Versal on the PYNQ roadmap? If so would you happen to have an ETA?
