Eclypse Z7 Precompiled SD Card image

[nickcamel]

(oh my, I'm gonna get bashed).

I have been working with the Pynq board for a while now, but I also have an Eclypse Z7 board, which I only got working with minimal linux OS and python using petalinux #killmenow.

The Pynq project offers precompiled SD Card images which suits most deadly humans. But I can't seem to find any precompiled images for the Eclypse Z7. Is it just me or is it too close to my nose for me to see?

Before you ask, a precompiled image would include e.g. python, jupyter, ethernet support, most basic linux commands e.g. ifconfig (come on..), systemctl etc. Just look at Pynq.

Are there any precompiled SD Card images for Eclypse Z7 board? Any projects that doesn't require building, so one can focus on other stuff?

Hi @nickcamel,

The Eclypse Z7 isn't quite as self contained as the Pynq board with it's own dedicated community, though it does have some SD images as detailed a bit more in section 3 of the Zmod Base Library User Guide (https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/zmod/zmodbaselibraryuserguide#library_overview) with the images themselves being available on our GitHub here: https://github.com/Digilent/Eclypse-Z7/releases.

I do not know if those images contain all of those features that you mentioned though. I have reached out to another engineer more familiar with the Eclypse Z7 materials for their input.

Thanks,
JColvin
