Can the pythn code still work to download bitstream if the Jupyter is turned off?

Hi, dear PYNQ developers,

If we turn off the Jupyter to offload the CPU on ZCU-104, can our Python code still work as well which loads the FPGA bitstream image and perform register configuration of the hardware accelerator on the ZCU-104? It is assumed that we use command mode to execute the Pyhon code on PYNQ ZCU-104.

BTW, is it related to the following problem?

Thank you very much
All the best,

Yes you can run your Python code with PYNQ without Jupyter - from the command line, or from a script etc.
