The

from the CD.

Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation
board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that
the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected to
the PC.

If the evaluation system is not connected to the USB port
when the software is launched, a connectivity error is
displayed (see Figure 2). Connect the evaluation board to
the USB port of the PC, wait a number of seconds, and
click
Rescan.
Follow the instructions.
