Hi all,  
I am trying to create image for Pynq-Z2 board. Firstly I download the source files from git and checkout to version v2.7. To not waste time for other boards, I deleted Pynq-Z1 and ZCU104 under boards file. I followed the Pynq document to create image so firstly I run setup\_host.sh. After that I just run make command. After a while I got error and it says that **isl:download fail**. I attached the error related part of build.log under gcc. What is the possible reasons of this error? I would be very grateful if you could help me to solve this problem. By the way, I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and my vivado version is 2020.2.

The error is here:  
[DEBUG] Not at this location: “[http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/isl-0.20.tar.gz](http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/isl-0.20.tar.gz)”  
It looks like that web server is down or no longer hosting those files. Newer versions of gcc mirror these files.  
Are you modifying the image? - why are you rebuilding it?

Cathal

Hi Cathal,  
Thanks for your response.My gcc version is 7.5. Should I upgrade it ?.

I want to create image for custom project which will run on the Pynq-Z2 board that’s why I am trying to rebuild it.
