The latest version of openCV available from [GitHub - Xilinx/PYNQ-ComputerVision: Computer Vision Overlays on Pynq](https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ-ComputerVision) was updated two years ago, and is compatible with PYNQ image 2.4. Is this code updated anywhere? We are using PYNQ image version 2.6.

The computer vision overlay is out-dated. Opencv has been updated to 3.4 on image v2.6 but the computer vision overlay was based on opencv3.2.

Is it possible to install the older opencv version and use the overlay on pynq v2.6?  
I tried `pip install opencv-python==3.2.0.8` but it gave an error `Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-python==3.2.0.6`.
