I'm wondering if we should also have an extension API handle adding support for new hardware or new drivers because now one has to make manual changes to the codebase to add new boards/drivers.
@vloncar yes, i think that's a good idea.
Regarding this PR in particular, I'm having an issue in Vivado 2020.1 where it says:
WARNING: [Board 49-26] cannot add Board Part tul.com.tw:pynqzu:part0:1.1 available at /home/users/woodson/XilinxBoardStore/boards/TUL/pynqzu/1.1/board.xml as part xczu5eg-sfvc784-1-e specified in board_part file is either invalid or not available
even after installing the board files / pointing Vivado to the right place (and the same procedure works for pynq-z2).
Could this mean this FPGA part is only supported in >= 2020.2 ?
Release 2020.1.1 added some support, though I am not sure it includes this:
