PYNQ 2.7 custom board building error

[HIBER]

Hi，I have a zynq7020 board, having different clk and DDR with official board. So I want to build my own PYNQ image.
I devide it in two steps:
1、Build PYNQ-Z2 image to verify my environment is complete.
2、Modify clk and DDR in PYNQ-Z2 with vivado,then generate tcl and rebuild image.

However, I failed in the first step and cannot solve it for several weeks. I will very appreciate it if someone help me.

my environment lists as follows:
VM ubuntu18.4 from vagrantfile;
PYNQ 2.7( Cloned from PYNQ repo (latest master));
ran setup_host.sh script;
installed vitis 2020.2 and petalinux 2020.2, and set up the environment variables.

I ran the following cmd in sdbuild dir.
make BOARDS=Pynq-Z2 PREBUILT=/pynq/focal.arm.2.7.0_2021_11_17.tar.gz

It seems I don’t have licenses to build ZCU104. But question is I only want to build Pynq-Z2. How can I only build the specified board or get license for ZCU104?
Furthermore, if I want to build my own board image. regenerate tcl file can make it?
thanks for your time.

For the license part there are nothing we can do to help as this is a must to use high-density series FPGA
on Xilinx.

However, the building part I can help, vargrant is a really unpredicted method!
Here is a welly known method that stable enough for others to follow and repeat without major hazard:

Follow this link for build command usage:
https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pynq_sd_card.html

Follow this link for setting up the build environment:

Stuck at extract yocoto

Unless people having hard time on setting up the environment: Vagrant is not a good method to setup the SD build environment. I have not investigate to the bottom but what previous engineer shows there might Virtual R/W issue during such setup. STEPS: I will suggest download 18.04.06 LTS Ubuntu from official website Create a virtual disk size about 200GB or more, set the CPU >#4, RAM >#8192 Update Ubuntu packages before setting up the PYNQ 3b) Git clone the PYNQ to /home//PYNQ 3c) sudo ch…

Follow this link to see what need to pay attention during Ultra-Scale series ZYNQ build:

UltraZYNQ+ Build

Problem solve: Indeed the boot arg is not default edited by the make script on the PYNQ. I not even notice this is the case as once it stuck I had no idea how I can get the log why and what reason it is stucking. Maybe Sarunas you can advise a bit how we can debug the root cause it is stuck. Starting Samba NMB Daemon... Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server... Starting Permit User Sessions...

Remember read the post completely and understand before you execute each part.

Thanks for your reply.
I am sorry, but it did not solve my problem. Actually, I have licenses to build pynq-Z2. it can generate pynq-Z2 bit successfully in vivado. I just can’t understand why it need licenses for ZCU104 when I use cmd : make BOARDS=Pynq-Z2 PREBUILT=/pynq/focal.arm.2.7.0_2021_11_17.tar.gz.
Can you tell me how to skip ZCU104 building process. Because I only want to generate pynq-Z2 now.

Modify the build.sh and remove line as this suggested
Meantime, did you include the HDMI IP license for limited time period usage?

Pynq 2.7 for Zybo-Z7

Hi everyone, I hope you’re okay. I was following this post by PeterOgden to create a Pynq 2.7 image for Zybo-Z7 and thought in sharing my experience. The files used in the process can be found here: Zybo-Z7 files. Pynq 2.7 for Zybo-Z7 image. Demostration video. For those interested in recreating the image you can follow these stages. 1. Create the Board Support Package (BSP) (30 min approx.) Although the Pynq-Z2 and the Zybo-Z7 have the same FPGA (i.e. xc7Z020-clg400), they present some…

I did’t have HDMI IP license. When I followed the post you shared me, I generated the image for my board. Although encountered some difficulties in this process, but now I can log in my pynq finally. Thank you very much.

I want to record the problem I met when I generated the image earlier. when I finished generating the image in the first time. I found it can’t connect to Ethernet. this bothered me for days. In the finally, I found the petalinux project setting the phy address to “1”. Then I checked my own board, phy address was zero, as the picture shows.

So I changed the petalinux project device tree source file(petalinux_project\project-spec\meta-user\recipes-bsp\device-tree\files\system-user.dtsi). then I regenerated the dtb, BOOT.bin and ubuntu image. Now, I can connect to my pynq. I am so excited.

Finally, I want to thank you for your help again!

You can make a remainders about HDMI and device-tree to this issue:
It will be appreciate and provide better build flow to the community.

Enjoy~ =]
