Pandas installation fails on PYNQ Z2

Support

Ok so I did find out that the actual culprit is the pynq installer that finn-examples invokes.
So just try pip3 install pynq and it leads to the same issue.

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to tell the pynq installer to not reinstall everything.
But I did manage to tell it to use the precompiled wheels for numpy, pandas and cffi.
The steps I took are the following:

  1. Download numpy-1.23.0-cp38-cp38-linux_armv7l.whl, pandas-1.4.3-cp38-cp38-linux_armv7l.whl and cffi-1.15.0-cp38-cp38-linux_armv7l.whl from here.
  2. Run pip3 install --find-links ??? git+https://github.com/Xilinx/finn-examples.git@dev -v where ??? is the path where you downloaded the whl files to. This will make the installer use your precompiled files instead of trying to build everything.

There should however be a better solution to all of these issues.
