EVM GUI Control Application
4 EVM GUI Control Application
The GUI application is written with Texas Instruments' GUI Composer, and can be run directly from a Chrome-
based web browser, or installed onto your computer. Because GUI Composer apps are written with a NodeJS
backend, the GUI application is cross-platform compatible by design. This document will only cover installation
on a PC for sake of brevity, but Mac and Linux users can find installers in the
4.1 MSP430 FET Drivers
The MSP430 FET Drivers are required for the operating system to properly enumerate the JTAG and UART
ports created by the EZFET_LITE. The latest drivers can be found here:
Download the driver package corresponding to your operating system, extract the archive, and run the installer.
In Windows, two new ports should be enumerated when the EVM is connected
Successful installation will also show Texas Instruments as the driver publisher
4.2 Cloud-based GUI
To launch the GUI application from your Chrome-based browser:
1. Navigate to
DRV824x_DRV814x-Q1EVM-GUI.
2. When presented with the list of available GUIs, launch the latest version by clicking in the tile anywhere that
is not related to an icon for downloading the installer or GUI Composer. Refer to
