3.3 Typical OPT3004DTSEVM Hardware Setup

Plug the male USB-C cable to the OPTMBEVM board and then plug the male USB-A cable into the computer. The green light will light up on the EVM as shown in the figure below.

GUID-20211012-SS0I-PMNP-7DTX-0NBLJ5QC7NWH-low.jpg Figure 3-9 Typical Hardware Connection

The figure below shows the typical response when the EVM is plugged into the USB port of the computer for the first time. Typically, the computer responds with a Found New Hardware, USB Device pop-up dialog window. The pop-up window then typically changes to Found New Hardware, USB Human Interface Device. This pop-up indicates that the device is ready to be used.
