You might encounter the following problems when connecting to a target.
The debugger might fail to connect to the selected debug target because of the following reasons:
you do not have a valid license to use the debug target
the debug target is not installed or the connection is disabled
the target hardware is in use by another user
the connection has been left open by software that exited incorrectly
the target has not been configured, or a configuration file cannot be located
the target hardware is not powered up ready for use
the target is on a scan chain that has been claimed for use by something else
the target hardware is not connected
you want to connect through gdbserver but the target is not running gdbserver
there is no ethernet connection from the host to the target
the port number usef by the host does not match the port number used by the target.
Check the target connections and power up state, then try and reconnect to the target.
