Figure 3-4 shows that if the Analog EVM Connector is connected correctly, the status bar at the bottom of the screen displays Hardware Connected. If the Analog EVM Controller is not properly connected or not connected at all, the status bar displays Hardware not connected. In case the Hardware not connected status persists even after the hardware is connected, go to Options → Serial Port, and change the port to the other available port with the (Texas Instruments) or ACCtrl tag. Out of the two ports with these tags, one port should connect.
