PYNQ Environment for ALVEO U280

[fkhalili]

Dear all, 

I have built and  installed latex version of XRT (xrt_202020.2.8.0_20.04). Moreover, I have installed PYNQ (i.e., pip3 install pynq) on a host machine with UBUNTU 20.04 LTS. The machine has two ALVEO U280 boards which are well recognized by the OS as well as the Kernel Device Drivers thanks to the XRT. 
 

I was able also to get the ALVEO EXAMPLES of PYNQ (i.e., pip3 install pynq-alveo-examples). My problem is when I want to get the notebooks (i.e.,  pynq get-notebooks) see the following error:

 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/khalili/.local/bin/pynq-get-notebooks", line 8, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/home/khalili/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pynq/_cli/get_notebooks.py", line 154, in main
device = _detect_devices(active_only=True)
File "/home/khalili/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pynq/utils.py", line 164, in _detect_devices
raise RuntimeError("No device found in the system")
RuntimeError: No device found in the system


Does anybody face this issue? 

Thanks a lot

Dear all, 

It is solved. Thanks to this link https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v2.5.1/pynq_cli.html#pynq-cli  I was able to get all the notebooks. 

The problem is that the target overlays should be rebuilt for our ALVEO U280. So, I used 

pynq get-notebooks --ignore-overlays

The next step is to git clone the https://github.com/Xilinx/Alveo-PYNQ  and rebuild the overlays for our ALVEO U280.
