1 Introduction

This tool is based upon GUI Composer and requires the MSP432E401Y SimpleLink™ Ethernet Microcontroller as the analog EVM controller (AEVM), which is integrated in the PMIC EVM and also available with the Launchpad™, see 1 in the Section 11. The AEVM provides a USB interface to the host personal computer (PC) for receiving commands and then communicates with the PMIC using either an I2C or SPI protocol.

The GUI supports multiple devices with a single executable (and single AEVM), which eliminates the need to install multiple GUIs when working with more than one device. Multiple devices are configured in a primary/secondary configuration and the AEVM communicates to each device over the selected shared medium: I2C or SPI.
