Creating a Named Connection

A named connection stores settings required to download an OS image to a target device or establish a kernel-level connection to the target device. With the Platform Builder IDE you can create as many named connections as you want. Available named connections appear in the Active named connection box within the Configure Remote Connection dialog box.

To create a named connection

1. From the Target menu, choose Configure Remote Connection.
2. Choose Add New.
3. In the Named Connection box, type a name for the connection.
4. Choose OK.

The settings for the named connection that you create are displayed in the Configure Remote Connection dialog box. You can modify the default settings, and then choose OK to save your changes.
