Hi,  
I am trying to implement a pretrained YOLO model on the PYNQ-Z2 board. The goal is to extract features from a saved image and then compare them with a new image captured from a webcam. The idea is to blink a light on the PYNQ board if the new image has different features.

So far, I’ve made some good progress:

- I have the PYNQ-Z2 board set up with the PYNQ image on an SD card.
- I’ve gone through the PYNQ website and have a basic understanding of how PYNQ works.
- I’ve written Python code to capture images.

My main challenge now is getting YOLO to run successfully on the PYNQ-Z2. I was wondering if you could guide me on this, or if anyone know of any resources that could help me get this up and running.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help someone can provide!
