Is there a way to build Pynq overlay using 2021.1 BSP file

Somehow for our custom ultra-scale + board, ethernet ports are not working for BSP 2020.1 file. So we would like to use the 2021.1 BSP file, just we want to know is there way?

Make command giving a lot of errors which is hard to fix, so we are using prebuilt image command.

Hi,

It would be useful if you provide more information such as the branch you are using, what have you done and what error you are getting.

The latest PYNQ version is 2.7 which is merged into master, this is tied to 2020.2 Xilinx tools. The build flow is only validated with the associated Xilinx tool version for given release.

But i don’t see any lights blinking at Ethernet port, its totally non responsive. (same device tree settings and design works fine in petalinux2021.1 our both Ethernet ports works fine)
