Step-by-Step Instructions for Setting Up the Hardware Using the GUI

In order to perform the demonstration examples, first set up the evaluation board hardware and software as follows:

1. Install the MC33907_8 graphical user interface.

2. Plug-in the daughter board (KITMPC5744DBEVM) to the mother board platform (KIT33908MBEVBE).

3. Connect the power supply to the mother board and switch it on (verify the polarity of the power supply first).

4. Connect the mother board to the PC using a USB A-B cable.

5. Wait for the driver installation to complete (after the first connection, drivers for the device have to be installed). This takes

several minutes.

6. When the installation is complete, a status message is displayed.

7. Launch the MC33907_8 GUI.

8. Click the EVM button on the welcome screen to choose the enhanced evaluation board option.

9. Click on the tab called "Read register 5". If the board works properly, the bits of the WD_LFSR register move randomly.
