Hi, dear PYNQ elites,

I’m evaluating to control USB devices like motor via the USB host of PYNQ-Z1. On the internet, I found the following discussion related to this requirement.

[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pynq\_project/vhBnFrZEIgA](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pynq_project/vhBnFrZEIgA)

I’d like to know if which version of PYNQ-Z1 image already includes such package mentioned in the discussion thread.

Also, it’s feasible to control USB devices on PYNQ-Z1 via python. Is it that case?

All the best,  
Nan

I know that Z1 v2.1 not works, then I change to Z2 v2.5 and it works.
