Using the JTAG Server

In the Hardware Setup dialog box you can add JTAG servers. A JTAG server allows different applications to share access to JTAG cables (such as the ByteBlaster cable). Clients connect to the server using a TCP/IP connection. You can access JTAG cables connected to a remote computer, which is useful when you use an operating system that has no fast JTAG hardware available.

You can specify that remote clients should be enabled to connect to the JTAG server in the Configure Local JTAG Server dialog box, which you can access from the JTAG Settings tab of the Hardware Setup dialog box.

You can specify the remote server you want to connect to in the Add Server dialog box. When you connect to a remote server, the programming hardware that you attached to the remote server is displayed in the Hardware Settings tab.

Note: Your firewall settings can interfere with the JTAG Server and prevent the detection of JTAG cables (such as the ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster cables). If your hardware cable is not recognized, check for firewall restrictions.
