I found the PYNQ-Z2 image v2.3-v2.6, is not have xdevcfg. not can use the “cat XXX.bit \> /dev/xdevcfg” function. it have a new drive fpga manager. but v2.2 have xdecfg.I want to know if have a way to also add the xdevcfg driver to new pynq image?

xdevcfg was deprecated a couple of years ago. Can you use FPGA manager instead?
