 Alveo first-time setup
 **********************
-.. warning::
-  Alveo cards are not automatically supported in the new FINN release with Vitis 2022.1. If you are looking for a build flow for Alveo inside of FINN, you will need to use older FINN versions (v0.4b - v0.7) with Vitis 2020.1.
-
 We use *host* to refer to the PC running the FINN Docker environment, which will build the accelerator+driver and package it up, and *target* to refer to the PC where the Alveo card is installed. These two can be the same PC, or connected over the network -- FINN includes some utilities to make it easier to test on remote PCs too. Prior to first usage, you need to set up both the host and the target in the following manner:
