Establishing a Target Connection - 2025.2 English - UG1400

To establish a target connection, you can use either the local board or the remote board. You can confirm connections to the local board by checking the local connection.

To use a remote board to establish a target connection:

1. Ensure that the remote host connects to the target.
2. Launch the hw_server manually on the remote host:
   1. Take a shell on the remote host.
   2. Source the setup scripts by using C:/Xilinx/<version>Vitis/settings64.bat (or) <Vitis_local_install_path>/<version>Vitis/settings64.csh.
3. Run the hw_server on the machine that connects to the board.
   Note: Ensure the remote host connects to the target (board).
4. Select the port number and the hostname to create a target connection to the host running the hw_server.
5. Right-click the newly created target connection and select Set As Default.
