This Technical Note shows hot to run PYNQ on Bora platform. It is worth rmemebering that, even though the procesure was tested on Bora, it should work on BoraX as well without any modification.
==Testbed's hardware and software configuration==
As stated before, the procedure was tested on Bora/BoraEVB hardware platform.
*Linux kernel 4.14.0 (at the time of this writing, this version was not officially supported by any BELK release yet)
*root file system: extracted from [http://files.digilent.com/Products/PYNQ/pynq_z1_v2.1.img.zip Pynq-Z1 v2.1 image] and mounted over NFS.
Original root file system image included several kernel drivers built as modules. The Linux kernel used for this test was different than the kernel released along with the PYNQ's root file system. Consequently, these modules were not compatible with the kernel running on Bora. To overcome this issue, these drivers were statically linked into the kernel image.
