Disconnect PYNQ Project from Vivado/Vitis and Ubuntu version

Open LambdaScorpii opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Hi,

the support for Ubuntu 20.04 has ended this year, but PYNQ still requires Ubuntu 20.04 in the seutp_host script. Additionally it requires a now quite old version of vivado/vitis.

Could we disconnect the project from those requiremnts, as it is risky to run an outdated OS and, given the install size, not efficient to hold onto an outdated version of vivado/vitis just for this purpose.

I also tested the workflow with Ubuntu 24.04 and vivado/vitis 2025.1 by modifying the scripts and it worked just fine, so to make intro easier I think it would be nice so separate those.

Hi @LambdaScorpii

Ubuntu 22.04 support has now been added in v3.1.

https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ/blob/19ed17d4fd4ea71f95a97d30f8ccd0d62b8dbaaa/sdbuild/scripts/setup_host.sh#L15

I will test a build on Ubuntu 24.04 in a future release and include this as well if all goes well.
