Description

Using examples/bert's bert_demo.py and the corresponding yaml file, I replaced 'v80' in the board section with 'pynq_z2', but no bitfile was generated. Why is that? If I want to switch to other Xilinx boards, such as the vck5000, what should I do?

Research direction

Start with examples/bert/bert_demo.py and its corresponding YAML file, then trace how the board setting is consumed during bitfile generation. Check the documented supported boards and the build output for the PYNQ-Z2 and vck5000 cases. Done means the board requirements and steps for switching targets are clearly documented or the issue is narrowed to a reproducible build problem.
