Network connection

Once your board is setup, you need to connect to it to start using Jupyter notebook.

Ethernet

If available, you should connect your board to a network or router with Internet access. This will allow you to update your board and easily install new packages.

Connect to a Computer

You will need to have an Ethernet port available on your computer, and you will need to have permissions to configure your network interface. With a direct connection, you will be able to use PYNQ, but unless you can bridge the Ethernet connection to the board to an Internet connection on your computer, your board will not have Internet access. You will be unable to update or load new packages without Internet access.

Connect directly to a computer (Static IP):

  1. Assign a static IP address
  2. Connect the board to your computer’s Ethernet port
  3. Browse to http://192.168.2.99

Connect to a Network Router

If you connect to a router, or a network with a DHCP server, your board will automatically get an IP address. You must make sure you have permission to connect a device to your network, otherwise the board may not connect properly.

Connect to a Router/Network (DHCP):

  1. Connect the Ethernet port on your board to a router/switch
  2. Connect your computer to Ethernet or WiFi on the router/switch
  3. Browse to http://<board IP address>
  4. Optional: see Change the Hostname below
  5. Optional: see Configure Proxy Settings below
