Remote Development

The Remote Dev module gives you browser-based access to a full development environment running directly on your Jetson — without needing to attach a monitor or keyboard to the device.

Available Tools

Tool	Access Method	Description
VS Code Server	Browser	Full VS Code IDE running on Jetson, accessed via browser
Jupyter Lab	Browser	Interactive Python notebook environment
VNC Remote Desktop	Browser (noVNC) or VNC client	Full graphical desktop of the Jetson
SSH Terminal	Inline terminal	Quick terminal access within the DevelopTool
AI Agent Install	One-click	Install Claude Code, Codex, or OpenClaw CLI on Jetson

VS Code Server

1. Connect to your Jetson device.
2. In the Remote Dev tab, click Launch VS Code Server.
3. The tool installs code-server on Jetson (first time only) and starts it.
4. Click the Open in Browser button — VS Code opens in your default browser connected to the Jetson.

You can open any folder on the Jetson filesystem, install extensions, run terminals, and debug code just as you would in a local VS Code.

Jupyter Lab

1. Click Launch Jupyter Lab in the Remote Dev tab.
2. Jupyter Lab starts on the Jetson and the access URL (with token) is shown.
3. Click Open in Browser to connect.

VNC Remote Desktop

1. Click Launch VNC in the Remote Dev tab.
2. The tool configures a VNC server on Jetson (first time only).
3. Access via the built-in noVNC browser viewer, or connect using any VNC client with the shown address and port.

tip

For the best VNC performance on a local network, a dedicated VNC client (e.g. TigerVNC) is faster than the browser-based noVNC viewer.

AI Agent Install

The AI Agent section lets you install AI coding assistants directly on your Jetson:

Agent	Description
Claude Code	Anthropic's CLI coding agent
OpenClaw	Seeed's open-source agent framework

Click Install next to the desired agent. The tool handles all dependency setup for the Jetson ARM environment.

PC Network Sharing

The PC Network Sharing module lets you share your host PC's internet connection to the Jetson device over a direct Ethernet cable — useful when the Jetson has no Wi-Fi card installed, or when working in a lab environment without a local router.

How It Works

The PC acts as a router: it bridges its active internet interface (Wi-Fi or another Ethernet port) to the Ethernet interface connected to the Jetson. The tool also auto-detects your proxy settings and forwards them to the Jetson so tools like apt, pip, and docker pull work transparently.

Setup

What you need:

• An Ethernet cable connecting the host PC and the Jetson
• The host PC must have an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or second Ethernet)

Steps:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable between PC and Jetson.
2. Open the PC Network Sharing tab in the DevelopTool.
3. Select the outbound interface (the PC's internet-facing connection, e.g. wlan0 or eth0).
4. Select the inbound interface (the Ethernet port connected to the Jetson, e.g. eth1).
5. Click Enable Sharing.
6. The tool configures NAT, assigns the Jetson an IP via DHCP, and displays the Jetson's IP address.

Once active, the Jetson will have full internet access through the PC.

tip

If you are behind a corporate proxy, enable the Auto Proxy Forward toggle. The tool will detect your PC's proxy settings and set http_proxy / https_proxy environment variables on the Jetson session automatically.

Disabling Network Sharing

Click Disable Sharing to stop the bridge and restore the original network configuration on the PC.

Jetson Init

The Jetson Init module provides a guided serial terminal wizard that walks you through the NVIDIA first-boot setup (OEM config) without needing a monitor or keyboard connected to the Jetson. It is the recommended way to initialize a freshly flashed Jetson device.

When to Use Jetson Init

• After flashing a fresh JetPack image onto a Jetson device
• When the Jetson has no display connected and you need to complete the initial OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience)
• To configure the system hostname, username, password, timezone, and Wi-Fi network on first boot

Setup

What you need:

• A USB-to-serial (UART) cable connected to the Jetson's debug serial port (usually a 3-pin or 4-pin header on the carrier board)
• The DevelopTool running on the host PC

Steps:

1. Connect the serial cable between the host PC and the Jetson's UART debug port.
2. Power on the Jetson.
3. Open the Jetson Init tab in the DevelopTool.
4. Select the correct serial port (e.g. COM3 on Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux) and set the baud rate to 115200.
5. Click Connect.

6. The wizard detects the first-boot prompt and guides you through:
   • Accepting the NVIDIA license agreement
   • Setting the system language and locale
   • Creating the default username and password
   • Configuring the network (Ethernet DHCP or Wi-Fi)
   • Setting the hostname and timezone
7. Once setup is complete, the Jetson reboots and the assigned IP address is displayed.

tip

After Jetson Init completes, you can immediately switch to Device Management or use the Remote Dev tools above with the IP address shown.
