Remote devices are J-Link debuggers that are accessible over the network rather than being physically connected to your local machine. These devices allow you to flash and debug applications on boards that are connected to remote J-Link debuggers.
Remote devices can be added using the nrf-connect.remoteDevices setting. See How to add remote devices for more information.
Remote devices are identified in the View with a special icon to distinguish them from locally connected devices. They support the same operations as local devices, including flashing, debugging, and RTT connections.
Note
Real-time monitoring of device connection and disconnection is not available for remote devices, as the extension cannot detect when a remote device is physically connected or disconnected from the J-Link debugger. You may need to manually refresh the Connected Devices View to see connection status changes.
