I’m using PYNQ-2.4 to build PYNQ SD card for Zedboard.
Currently, this [tutorial: PYNQ SD card](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v2.4/pynq_sd_card.html) is followed.
This is the folder ~/Documents/PYNQ-2.4/boards/\* structure, and I have moved Pynq-Z1, Pynq-Z2 and ZCU104 to another directory:
The zedboard.tcl script contains only this:
Both zedboard\_ps.bit and system.hdf is the files generated by Vivado v2018.3 according to the zedboard.tcl script. (I read from this [post: petalinux tcl question 258](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/petalinux-tcl-question/258))
The bsp file in ~/Documents/PYNQ-2.4/avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2018.3-final.bsp is downloaded from here:
[avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2018.3-final.bsp](https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/xef.html?filename=avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2018.3-final.bsp) in the [Xilinx download website](https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools/archive.html)
And the specification file ~/Documents/PYNQ-2.4/boards/zedboard/zedboard.spec contains this
Then I go to ~/Documents/PYNQ-2.4/sdbuild/ and do the following command:
```bash
cd ~/Documents/PYNQ-2.4/sdbuild/
make
```
However, I get this error:
```bash

Be careful before using the write command.

Can someone help me to check which part I have done it wrong?

Can you try follow this tutorial?
This is an easier flow for building a PYNQ image:

Hi @cathalmccabe! Thx for your response.
I got few questions:
1.) It is mentioned
> 1. Most recent board agnostic image from [pynq.io](http://www.pynq.io/board.html?_ga=2.198530860.2098809984.1621845780-1654688548.1621536496) listed under _Other boards_
So, I’ll download one of the SD image from [here](http://www.pynq.io/board.html?_ga=2.126328718.2098809984.1621845780-1654688548.1621536496) and pick any of it?
However, I’m using PYNQ-2.4, so I’ll download it from here?
> **[Release Utah Release · Xilinx/PYNQ](https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ/releases/tag/v2.4)**
>
> This github tag is tied to the release of the following SDCard images:
> PYNQ-Z1 v2.4 SDCard image
> PYNQ-Z2 v2.4 SDCard image
> ZCU104 v2.4 SDCard image
> ZCU111 v2.4 SDCard image
> Within those image files...
2.) Within the tutorial that you have provided, at the section “Customizing the image”,
The command:
> $ make BOARDDIR=test\_repo PREBUILT=bionic.arm.2.5.img
The image path PREBUILT bionic.arm.2.5.img is the image resulted from in the “outputs” folder?
> Once the script has finished the image will be in the `outputs` folder ready to be burned to an SD card.
Thx! 😃

Hi @cathalmccabe , I’m following the guide that you have given it to me:

But still I get to the same error again. I’m wondering this is the command that it writes the image to the SD card?

```
Moreover, I can see that the image is resulted in the output folder:
Then, I burn the zedboard-2.4.img to my sd card through this [guide](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.1/appendix.html#writing-the-sd-card) and connect the zedboard to my router with ethernet cable. The zedboard is connected to my laptop usb port too. Through switching on the zedboard, I open up tera term to see the response from the zedboard, it goes empty and nothing occurs:
I did login to my router and see the connected device and the zedboard connection is not found in the list.
After that, I connect my laptop and the zedboard directly without the router and I have followed this tutorial: [Assign your computer a static IP address](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.1/appendix.html#assign-your-computer-a-static-ip).
I try to ping the zedboard with direct connection.
I’m wondering which step of creating image that I have done is false.

Hello…
can anyone please share the latest build of the PYNQ SD Card Image for Zedboard.
I was looking for the latest version i.e. with Petalinux 2023.1 and with the latest PYNQ OS Version.
