The GUI should auto-detect and connect to your DRV8303EVM. If auto-connect fails, set up the
connection manually. Access the connection wizard through the connection menu. Click on "connect to
engine" to view a list of available targets. Now, set up the connection wizard dialog to match

name. Select connect when done.
