Connecting the USB Cable to the DIG
shows the typical response to connecting the SM-USB-DIG Platform board to a PC USB port for
the first time. Typically, the computer responds with a Found New Hardware, USB Device pop-up dialog.
The pop-up window then changes to Found New Hardware, USB Human Interface Device. This pop-up

Windows confirms installation of the drivers with the message shown in
