3.3 Local Installation

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

  1. The EVM GUI application installer can also be downloaded from the TI GUI Composer Gallery, DRV824x_DRV814x-Q1EVM-GUI.
  2. From the gallery, click the GUID-20210421-CA0I-NTMC-NXCQ-G2Q0XVJX7Z7K-low.png icon in the latest version and select the installer for your operating system (Windows, Linux or Mac). Refer back to in the previous section for a visual depiction of the Gallery page.
  3. Decompress the .zip file.
  4. From the decompressed archive, run the installer “DRV824x_DRV814x-Q1EVM-GUI-0.1.0.setup-win" (refer to Figure 3-4). If the GUI Composer Runtime has not been installed, then the installer takes care of this. The installer contents looks slightly different for each OS, but is self-explanatory.
