Do you have anything plugged into the USB port and how are you powering the board? This looks like the board is resetting due to a loss of power at the time the USB ports are initialised.

Your subject line says “PYNQ-Z2 can’t boot” but the boot message says “Model: Zynq ARTY Z7 Development Board”.

Do you have the correct boot image?

thank your for your careful observation.  
I am not sure why it happeded,maybe I try to link pynq with an arty-a7 project and lead this Error.  
I try to reload a new image in version 2.5 for pynq-z2 board.It my help.

I think you should use a power brick to power the board- you USB may not provide sufficient power.

Some USB ports don’t supply enough power, and on some machines, the ports can switch to a lower power state. E.g. on my laptop I can normally power from a USB port. However, if I disconnect the power supply and run from battery, the USB ports switch to a low power mode which is not enough to run the board.

You could also try connecting to a USB power socket if you don’t have a power brick for your board.
