BUF20800/20820EVM Software Overview
shows an error that pops up if the computer cannot communicate with the EVM. If you receive
this error, first check to see that the USB cable is properly connected on both ends. This error can also
occur if you connect the USB cable before the USB_DIG_Platform power source. Another possible source
for this error is a problem with your PC USB Human Interface Device driver. Make sure that the device is
recognized when the USB cable is plugged in; recognition is indicated by a Windows-generated
confirmation sound.
