Hi,

As far as I know, the Root filesystem of PYNQ v2.3 image is based on Ubuntu 18.04. However, I don’t find any information about v2.4.

Is the Root filesystem of PYNQ-Z1 v2.4 based on Ubuntu 18.04?

Also, how could I check how many minimum DRAM size does the Ubuntu 18.04 use after booting OK since PYNQ-Z1 only has 512MB DRAM size?

Thanks

Yes, v2.4 is based on Ubuntu 18.04

You can run any Ubuntu commands on the terminal to check memory.

E.g.

free

You can run this in a notebook cell by adding “!” infront of the command
!free

Thanks for the information.

I noticed that the linux command may be a little bit different between in execution of command line terminal and terminal in notebook. Is it that case ?

It shouldn’t be. Only difference is that terminal in notebooks is defaulted to sudo.
