Ultra96v2 ，dpu-pynq install can not run

Support
1

I want to make my ultra96v2 board support dpu-pynq, and I update my v2.5 image follow the " Quick Start" on github, and it was successful. But when I run “pip3 install pynq-dpu”, the process is stuck in this place for more than 1 hour.

So I download the source code folder “pynq_dpu-1.1.2”, and run “ python3 setup.py build” in the folder, and the process is stuck in this place for more than 1 hour.

I want to know if it is normal? What should I do?

I only change the device tree, add the following node that in ug1186(openamp), and rebuild the pynq image using the u96v2-bsp-2019.1. There is no problem when I use it.

I don’t know if there is more to it than this, there could be if you have a modified PYNQ build for U96…

A simple answer is that the speed of the sd card can make a large difference in how long it takes to install the dpu. It can normally take longer than hour with some cards. I personally use a USB to 1Gbe adapter (to provide the internet connection to the U96) and 128GB Sandisk Extreme Pro card and it takes less than a half hour to install it. If I use slower Delkin or Sony SD cards it takes a lot longer.

Thank you very much, I will replace my sd card to try it.

Hello，I replaced my sd card, but it still didn’t work. How can I find the problem？ Can I install the dpu-pynq manually？The image v2.5 that I used is provided by Avnet and I didn’t change it. :pensive:

Hi, Just for you I just tried a fresh PYNQ v2.5 image on an Ultra96 and a new install of pynq-dpu. I did not have any issues getting past building the wheels for pynq. Using the fast sd card I mentioned prior it took a minute or 2 and then moved on to the next steps. Again this could take a lot longer if you are using a slower SD card.

I have finished all of the steps. It took about 28 minutes for me to get to installing pynq-dpu (where you said you were stuck) and then that step took about 2 minutes and it completed shortly after. I do see a bit of internet activity during this step. Again I use a USB to Ethernet adapter and I don’t know how my internet speed compares to yours.

I followed the instructions here: Easy AI with Python and PYNQ - Hackster.io

Good luck!

Thank you very much. I think it is the problem of internet speed, and I found that the network is unstable. Luckly I found a image that have update successfully, so I can use it.
But I have another question here: How to build my own overlay for pynq-dpu . If you know the answer, please help me. :grin:
