Remote access
From Robin
This article is specially made for remote access during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Using https://view.uio.no to access the UiOs services
- For the best user experience, we recommend download VMware on your own laptop. Follow the instructions on this guide.
- When you're logged in, you should be able to find the instance called "Ifi workstation". Start the instance by double clicking it. See icon Figure 1.
Use-case: Xilinx Suite
The full version of Xilinx software used in in3160 and in5200.
- Follow the steps in the above section.
- To access the the Xilinx tools, ssh to a Ifi computer:
ssh -Y <assigned_host>.ifi.uio.no
See example in Figure 2. If you don't have an assigned computer or the assigned computer is overloaded you can use:
ssh -Y login.ifi.uio.no
Remember to set up the .bashrc
file as described here to make it work.
Alternativly, you can ssh
directly from your own computer. To be able to get GUI aplications running, remember the -Y flag. On Windows you're required to use PuTTy and on MacOS we recommend XQuartz.
