Quick Start

Required Equipment
Note: In the following sections, software-related items are
identified by bold text. Text in bold refers to items directly
from the install of EV kit software. Text which is bold and
underlined refers to items from the Windows operating
system.
● MAX30001G EV kit
● MAX32630FTHR
● Micro-USB cable
● Windows PC with USB port
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Confirm that the MAX32630FTHR is firmly seated in
connectors J8 and J7 in the proper orientation.
2) Set the EV kit hardware on a nonconductive surface
to ensure that nothing on the PCB shorts together.
3) Connect the EV kit hardware to a PC with the pro-
vided USB cable. Attach the micro-USB end to the
MAX32630FTHR board and the type A end to the host
PC. Once connected, LED D1 on the MAX32630FTHR
will blink red, and LED D1 on the EV kit board will be
green.
4) Windows should automatically begin installing the
necessary device driver. The USB interface of the
EV kit hardware is configured as a COM device and
therefore does not require a unique/custom device
driver. Once the driver installation is complete, a Win-
dows message appears near the System Icon menu,
indicating that the hardware is ready to use. Do not
attempt to run the GUI before this message. If you do,
then you must close the application and restart it once
the driver installation is complete. On some versions
of Windows, administrator privileges may be required
to install the USB device.
5) Once the device drivers have been installed, download
the latest EV kit software (MAX30001G EVKitSoftware-
Install.ZIP) and extract it to a temporary folder.

natively, go to Start | All Programs. Look for the
MAX30001G EVKitSoftware folder and click on the
MAX30001G EVKitSoftware.EXE file inside the folder.
9) After the initial splash screen, when the GUI
appears, the text in the right field of the status strip at
the bottom of the GUI window should display Hard-
ware Connected and the COM port associated with
the EV kit.
Detailed Description of Software
Software Startup
If the EV kit is connected when the software is opened,
the software first initializes the hardware to communicate.
The software then reads the device registers and updates
all the associated control fields displayed on the GUI.
The status strip at the bottom of the GUI displays the
MAX32630FTHR firmware version, the GUI version, and
the hardware's associated COM port.
If the EV kit is not connected on startup, the Connection
Issue dialog box shown in
GUI splash screen. Clicking OK opens the Connection
window of the GUI. Use the Scan Ports button to identify
all COM ports in use by the PC and select the port associ-
ated with the EV kit hardware in the COM Port drop down
menu. This window, shown in
connecting to the EV kit for the first time even if the hard-
ware is connected before starting the GUI.
Once the correct COM port is selected, press Connect at
the bottom center of the GUI to enter the main window.
The program reads all device registers and updates the
control fields of the GUI.
