Hi, you say that PYNQ v2.5 does NOT support Petalinux 2019.2 and likely requires further modifications compared to Petalinux 2019.1. I found this, which looks to me (who has no clue about the internals of pynq) like an example of deploying the older PYNQ v2.4 on Petalinux 2019.2: > [@Deploying PYNQ and Jupyter with Petalinux](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/deploying-pynq-and-jupyter-with-petalinux/677): > > [petalinux\_blog\_header] The PYNQ Ubuntu-based Linux system is designed for development but we have been getting an increasing number of questions about how PYNQ can be used in a more traditional embedded context where an 8 GB filesystem is not practical. At its heart PYNQ is a Python library with a set of drivers and overlays that do not need a fully-fledge desktop Linux system to run. To this end we have been working to include PYNQ as part of Petalinux with the 2019.2 release now including P… I first read the statement “To this end we have been working to include PYNQ as part of Petalinux with the 2019.2 release now including PYNQ version 2.4.” as “Petalinux 2019.2 supports PYNQ v2.4”. The rest of the description shows that it has to be added as an user package and can’t be selected with petalinux-config -c rootfs/kernel. I have a custom board and it took quite some time to come up with a working Petalinux project. Adding another recipe as given in this post would be MUCH easier, than setting up a custom vagrant environment and configuring the PYNQ build system. Could you give some more details about the two approaches and when to choose which? Sincerely SeveralElectrons --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/pynq-2019-2-compatiblity/890)._
