GUI Operation

To operate the GUI, follow these steps:

  1. Connect to and launch the GUI as described in Section 3.1.3.1.
  2. With the EVM connected to the GUI, close the README.md file page. The text near the bottom-left corner of the GUI should read Hardware Connected (see Figure 3-4).

    1. If Hardware Connected does not show in the bottom-left corner of the GUI, check different hardware COM ports under Options >> Serial Port (see Figure 3-5).

    2. If the hardware still does not connect, make sure you are using the correct GUI/EVM combination.
  3. Click the Registers icon shown in Figure 3-6 (also available on the left side menu) to view the register map, and change device settings, and enable automatic register read.
