PYNQ v2.7, No module named pynq issue

Environment

PYNQ v2.7, Ultra92 v2, Xilinx 2020.2 tools

Problem

NOTE: I used JTAG+UART module(like this) to access board’s terminal.

After ssh into the board, if I do python my_python.py, it results in OSError: Root permissions required error.

If I do sudo python my_python.py, it results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynq' error.

Solution

The simplest solution is use the Jupyter notebook. When I use Jupyter notebook, I have none of these issues.

If you want to access terminal using something like Putty, you may want to do following:

sudo -s
source /usr/local/share/pynq-venv/bin/activate
python my_python.py
