Figure 4-3. Test Points Used to Enter DFU Mode Manually

With the MCU in DFU mode, the firmware can now be uploaded through the method outlined in 

Step 1

.

4.2.1.3 GUI Setup and Connection

Click 

here

 to access the GUI through either the Chrome

™

 or Firefox

™

 browser.

4.2.1.3.1 Initial Setup

To set up the GUI the first time:
1. Make sure that the previously mentioned driver was installed successfully to ensure that everything works 

properly and that the GUI can update the EVM firmware, if necessary.

2. Check to make sure the EVM/SCB Controller unit is plugged into the PC, then go to the previously-provided 

GUI link.

3. Click the 

GUI Composer

 application (

Figure 4-4

) to launch the GUI from the web browser.
