3.1.3.1 Initial Setup

To set up the GUI the first time:

  1. Make sure that the previously mentioned driver is installed successfully so that everything works properly and that the GUI can update the EVM firmware, if necessary.
  2. Check to make sure the EVM and SCB Controller unit is plugged into the PC, then go to the previously-provided GUI link.

    1. Verify that the EVM is connected to the SCB before plugging the SCB into a USB port.

  3. Open the GUI Composer application to launch the GUI from the web browser (see Figure 3-2).

    1. The GUI link brings up all versions of the GUI. TI recommends launching the newest version available.
    2. For first-time GUI Composer setup, follow the prompts to download the TI Cloud Agent and browser extension (see Figure 3-3). These prompts appear after closing the README.md dialog box.
