ZCU216 booting led doesn't turn on

Support

Hi Igyur,

I am also working with using PYNQ v2.7 on the ZCU216. I am working remotely from the device so I need to get back to you on you on your specific question here but from what I remember, my coworker said the device has lights on and the fan is very loud. He contrasted this with the windows RFDC tool which had some lights turn off after boot and the device wasn’t super loud after it settled in. I hope this helps.

I am curious if you have insight into 2 problems I am encountering:

  1. Were you able to build the pynq image yourself or did you use a prebuilt pynq image? I described a problem I am encountering here: Why I am failing to build image myself

  2. I am using a prebuilt image found here but am running into the problem described in this post when I try to load overlays using the RFSoC textbook example notebooks

Maybe these problems indicate those lights should turn off ?

I really hope we can collaborate as we both go down this path as we seem to be at similar points in our journey of working with the device and pynq.

Thanks
