Connected Board List Box
If there are one or more EVBs detected, each board will be dis-
played with its corresponding part number and serial number. If
there are no EVBs connected this list box will be empty.
If your board is connected but the serial number is not displayed,
Disconnect and reconnect the EVB or press the reset button on
the EVB. If the drop down box is grayed out, then the software is
currently connected to the board with the serial number that is dis-
played. To disconnect from this board, select “Cancel” and then
File→Disconnect.
