Hi, I’ve studied the article [PYNQ v2.5.1 Release - Alveo Edition](https://discuss.pynq.io/t/pynq-v2-5-1-release-alveo-edition/950) & video [PYNQ for Datacenter: Hardware Emulation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylVEo0d83iM&feature=youtu.be), and have 2 questions:

**Q1.** Above references base on datacenter, such as Alveo series.  
Does ZCU104 support the Hardware Emulation?

**Q2.** If Q1 is valid, the emulation needs **xclbin** file.  
According to the [Overlay Tutorial](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overlay_design_methodology/overlay_tutorial.html), I’ve created a custom overlay.  
The **xclbin** file didn’t be found in the overlay project which only created the bitstream, tcl & hwh file.  
Therefore, how to create the **xclbin** file?

Any help will be highly appreciated!
