I am running Pynq 2.5.1.

I am building pynq by adding  
IMAGE\_INSTALL:append = " python3-pynq "  
IMAGE\_INSTALL:append = " python3-pynq-notebooks "  
IMAGE\_INSTALL:append = " pynq-overlay "  
into my petalinux image. (Along a with a number of other python3 recipes.)

This builds fine but is obviously less than the whole solution. I have not done any customization to the image that gets built via Yocto in so obviously I am missing something. (I was not aware of Pynq’s need for the HW definition file.)

I have found the petalinux section in the “Python Productivity for Zynq (Pynq)” manual. I need to read through it and determine what I need to add to my build. At that time I may come back with more questions.

Until that time, it’s RTFM.

Thanks,  
Doug Bailey
