Accessing files with Samba

Note

Samba, a file sharing service, is running on the board with you are using a PYNQ image. Samba may need to be installed separately if you installed PYNQ on top of another image (E.g. Kria SOM). Samba allows you to access the Pynq home area as a network drive, to transfer files to and from the board. Samba is available for PYNQ but this functionality is superseded by Jupyter Lab which has drag-and-drop support in the browser for copying files to the board.
