3.2 Local Installation

Follow these instructions for downloading and installing the latest version of the EVM GUI application:

  1. DRV84xx-DRV89x2-DRV82x2-EVM-SOFTWARE can be downloaded from the EVM product folder on ti.com. The software downloaded from the EVM product folder contains two zip files, one for the EVM firmware source code and another for the EVM GUI application Windows installer. The EVM GUI application installer can also be downloaded from the TI GUI Composer Gallery, DRV84xx_DRV82x2_DRV89x2-EVM-GUI.
  2. From the gallery, click the GUID-A731C88C-915E-40E8-B93A-CABE10DAF7BC-low.png icon in the latest version and select the installer for your operating system (Windows, Linux or Mac). Refer back to Cloud-based GUI in the previous section for a visual depiction of the Gallery page.
  3. Unzip the .zip file.
  4. From the unzipped folder, run the GUI installer (.exe file with the current version.) If you have not installed the GUI Composer Runtime, the installer will take care of this for you. The installer contents will look slightly different for each OS, but should be self-explanatory.
