I have been working with Intel/Altera FPGA for several years now. I recently bought a Zybo-Z7-20 (July 2020)
because I am interested using the Zynq ARM+FPGA SoC for solving contemporary problems.
Unfortunately, I cannot get any Project running without errors in Vivado, Vitis or Petalinux.
Most of the given tcl scripts don't succeed to create Vivado project files, and even if this works,
I tried Vitis 2020 and event the hopelessly outdated 2017 and 2018 versions in the mainstream Ubuntu Linux 2020.04 LTS. Finally,
I ended up in installing 120 GB of different Vivado versions and lost a huge amount of time, which makes absolutely no sense to me!
This is very frustrating!
All the examples are hopelessly outdated (from the year 2017!!!) and not working any more.
Please Digilent, do your homework and give recent and working examples for the current Vivado/Vitis 2020 development environments
if you sell your high-priced products to your customers in 2020.
Since the Zynq 7000 is listed as supported with Vitis-AI, please give also Instructions for the Vitis-AI library for using the board for contemporary AI problems.

Hello,
I have been working with Intel/Altera FPGA for several years now. I recently bought a Zybo-Z7-20 (July 2020)
because I am interested using the Zynq ARM+FPGA SoC for solving contemporary problems.
To get started, I tried to follow your instructions at

Unfortunately, I cannot get any Project running without errors in Vivado, Vitis or Petalinux.
Most of the given tcl scripts don't succeed to create Vivado project files, and even if this works,
I tried Vitis 2020 and event the hopelessly outdated 2017 and 2018 versions in the mainstream Ubuntu Linux 2020.04 LTS. Finally,
