How to use renode for other LiteX boards?

[lzmz08]

I am new to CFU and LiteX. I tried to run make renode for xilinx_zcu102 and diligent_pynq_z1 boards but both of them threw errors

zcu102 :

make renode TARGET=xilinx_zcu102

@lzmz08 , thank you for reporting this. I can reproduce the issue and see the same error. Currently my only guess is that the platform and target files for this board under litex-boards are set up slightly differently.
