To set up the GUI the first time, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the above mentioned driver was installed successfully to ensure that everything works properly and that the GUI can update the EVM firmware, if necessary.
  2. With the EVM/TI-SCB Controller unit plugged to the PC, go to the GUI link: https://dev.ti.com/gallery/search/TMAG5170D
  3. To launch the GUI from the web browser, click the GUI Composer application to open the GUI Composer window (see #ID-420A96E6-F293-4714-E6E8-D992B9F37912).
