Setting the Debug Target

An annotated screenshot of Device Explorer.

If you only have one programmable Tibbo device on your LAN, then you will only see a single entry in the list.

Single-click on this entry and click Select (alternatively, double-click on the entry).

Your device is now set as the upload and debug target for the current project.

An additional information note icon. Did you get a Windows firewall message? Were you asked if you want to allow TIDE (or Device Explorer) to communicate over the network?

Make sure to click Yes.

What if your device is not shown in the Device Explorer window? Troubleshoot!
