I am not sure how jtagremote comes in the picture here. The cocotb code
reads the SVF and then drives the TCK, TMS and TDI input pins of the
JTAG TAP. It also checks if TDO gives the right output. I don't know
where a client-server connection would be needed. The code should be
able to just be translated in pysim/cxxsim code.

greets,
Staf.
