Hello Dave,
HERO does not support ARMv8 host processors yet. We are working on it, but unfortunately this is more complex than just changing the architecture of the host compiler. Essentially, we need a full new host SW stack (kernel, compiler, rootFS, libraries) that is compatible with the OpenMP RTE and against which we can compile the heterogeneous toolchain. In HW, we will need to support sharing 64-bit pointers with the 32-bit PULP architecture. Stay tuned, though: The next major release of HERO is planned to support ARMv8 host processors! Code related to the ZynqMP comes from development efforts in this direction, but it is not yet complete and supported. I hope ARMv7 host processors, such as the one found on the ZC706, serve your needs in the meantime.
Happy holiday!
