3.1.1 Device state and diagnostics

Use the device label, work-location bar, and task overview to confirm the intended target and connection state. Before diagnosis, verify the project's bound device rather than assuming another online device is the target.

StateMeaning
Online / SSH verifiedDevice commands, files, and diagnostics can be requested
Pending verification / connectingWait for connection checks; old state does not prove current access
OfflineSaved history/logs remain readable; device operations require reconnection
No device selectedAsk questions or work locally; connect a device for board tasks

Request a read-only check​

Read-only: check the bound device's model, system version, CPU, memory, disk, temperature, network, and key services. State any missing information. Do not change configuration or restart anything.

The Agent gathers information using tools available to its runtime. Fields vary by board, OS, permissions, and connection. Inspect the reason for missing information; a missing field does not mean the entire device is unavailable.

Verify the diagnosis​

Review problems, evidence, and suggestions in the answer. Open existing execution records from the message's more menu if needed. Preserve command failures, timeouts, and missing-field messages; they are not a successful diagnosis.

Offline snapshots describe previously collected information. Working local files or terminals do not prove that the board connection has recovered.
