Development Boards
PYNQ supports Zynq based boards (Zynq, Zynq Ultrascale+, Zynq RFSoC), Kria SOMs, Xilinx Alveo accelerator boards and AWS-F1 instances.
See the PYNQ Alveo Getting Started guide for details on installing PYNQ for use with Alveo and AWS-F1.
Downloadable PYNQ images
If you have a Zynq board, you need a PYNQ SD card image to get started. You can download a pre-compiled PYNQ image from the table below. If an image is not available for your board, you can build your own SD card image (see details below).
