Use a different USB port on the PC.

Be sure 4 jumpers are placed on the FX3 board.
When running software, get a message similar to “Unable to connect to an FX3 Board”

Verifying the USB Connection
Before starting the ADcmXL Evaluation Software, when the Cypress FX3 board is connected it
should be listed in Universal Serial Bus controllers as “Cypress FX3 USB BootLaoder Device”.
This is confirmation that the Cypress USB drivers have been installed. When the ADcmXL
Evaluation Software application is started the device should reconnect as an “Analog Devices
iSensor FX3 Demonstration Platform”.
