I recently came across this on CrowdSupply:

However, I am uncertain as to how free this thing can run. Specifically,
I was
curious about the following:
a) Can this run a fully-free distro like Parabola or Trisquel?
b) If a), what functionality would be impeded by doing this (due to nonfree
drivers or whatever)?
c) If a) and b), can the Zynq 'configurable microprocessors' sitting on
that
thing be programmed using free tools?
If anyone could let me know about these things, I would be extremely
grateful.
No, the Xilinx toolchain is proprietary and no one is working on a
reverse engineering project. Neither Parabola nor Trisquel can run on
ARM, the need to be ported first.
