Installation under PYNQ v3.0.1 for ZCU104 is broken

FYI--

I attempted to install this under the latest PYNQ v3.0.1 image for the ZCU104. I performed the following steps:

  • sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
  • sudo pip3 install finn-examples

The second step above failed with the error: No module named 'pynqutils'

The finn-examples README calls out PYNQ v2.6.1, but only v2.6.0 is readily available at http://www.pynq.io/board.html. Re-imaging my microSD with v2.6.0 and re-running the commands above completed successfully.

Figured I'd post the issue here in case anybody else runs into this.

Hi @verderog!

Thank you for the post. We have added new instructions on installing FINN-examples with Pynq v3.0.1. Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

@mmrahorovic I hope to get to trying out the new instructions this week. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks.

I've been able to confirm that the install steps can now be completed successfully. Unfortunately MobileNet-v1, the model I'm testing, doesn't seem to work with Pynq 3.0.1. I see this is a known issue (#40), however, so I'm going to go ahead and mark this issue close.

Hi @verderog
Glad to hear that the installation works!
That's indeed right unfortunately. If you want to generate a bitfile for MobileNet-v1 for the ZCU104, you could try out the 'FINN-driver' & build flow from FINN-examples v0.0.5 (with Pynq v2.6.1). That one should work, although we haven't tested it lately.
