Hi @gnatale,

I appreciate your timely responses. The bitstream build for the ZCU104 does not complete due to the HDMI license not being available, as some people already have found [1]. Given this limitation, I am unable to build PYNQ to completion, even though I’m not interested in the ZCU104 at the moment. Is there a way to skip this bitstream and thus complete the PYNQ build? I’ve tried removing the ZCU104 directory from the tree, but git pulls it back under the build directory.

[EDIT] I’ve attached the log for this build [2], including the PREBUILT bionic.arm.2.5.img. Unfortunately, it still tries to synthesize the ZCU104.

Thanks again,  
-Pat
