USB-TO-GPIO Adapter
The USB-TO-GPIO adapter is the link that allows the PC and the EVM to communicate. One end of
the USB interface adapter connects to the PC with the supplied USB cable; the other side of the USB
interface adapter connects to the EVM with the supplied ribbon cable.
When a command is written to the EVM, the interface program running on the PC sends the
commands to the PC USB port. The USB interface adapter receives the USB command, converts the
signal to an I
