6.4.2 Establishing a connection between the FlexGUI and the hardware
To establish a connection between the FlexGUI and the hardware, a battery supply
must first be provided for the UJA1169Ax-EVB (see
microcontroller board to the PC using a USB cable. Note that it may take a few seconds
for the PC operating system to detect the connection and locate the appropriate USB
driver.
Once the connection has been established, a communication session can be started over
the USB link:
•
Click the
Search
button to detect all available serial connections.
•
Identify and select the COM port of the board. It is usually the last item on the list if no
other USB cables were connected to the PC since the board was plugged in.
•
Click
Start
to enable the connection.
The text in the lower left corner of the window should turn from red to green, to indicate
that the session has started successfully (
). The FlexGUI functionality can now
be accessed, as discussed in the following sections.

If FlexGUI shuts down during a connection attempt, there may be a conflict due to an
obsolete jssc (java simple serial connector) library in the user cache. This problem can
be solved by removing that library from the cache, e.g. with the command:
del "%USERPROFILE%\.jssc\windows\jSSC-2.8_x86_64.dll"
.
When this command is executed (e.g. by double-clicking on a text file that includes this
line and has a file extension .cmd), the obsolete library is removed from the cache and a
later version of the library is cached the next time FlexGUI starts up.
