Description

The Alveo runtime is using pynq, which is deprecating Alveo as of its v3.1. It would be good to implement the Alveo runtime with XRT's Python bindings pyxrt instead.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Familiarize yourself with the existing pynq based runtime in conifer, then study the pyxrt API from XRT documentation to reimplement the same functionality.
