A target interface is a mechanism for communicating with and controlling a
target. A target can be either a physical hardware device or a software simulation
of a device.
CrossStudio has a targets window for viewing and manipulating target interfaces.
For more information on the targets window, see
Targets Window.
Before you can use a target interface, you must connect to it. You
can only connect to a single target interface at any one time.. For more information
on connecting target interfaces, see Connecting
to a target.
All target interfaces have a set of properties. The properties provide information
on the connected target and allow you to configure the target interface. For
more information on viewing and editing target properties, see Viewing
and editing target properties. The following sections describe the general
properties that are common to all target interfaces and the properties specific
to each target interface type.
