CCS/BOOST-DRV8711: How to run BOOST-DRV8711_GUI v1.0 ?

Part Number: BOOST-DRV8711
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8711, , MSP430G2553, BOOST-DRV8848

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm trying to use the OOTB demo for the DRV8711 BoosterPack with CCS 9.3.0.00012 on Windows 10. The demo BOOST-DRV8711_GUI v1.0 relies on a GUI Composer interface. 

I've already

  • installed the GUI Composer Runtime 6.2.0.1 (CCS v6.2.0)Download
  • copied the slvc575b\BOOST-DRV8711 Hardware and Software Files\Application\BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0 folder under c:\ti\ccs920\ccs\eclipse\dropins-gc\BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0
  • launched through View > GUI Composer > Applications > BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0
  • copied C:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse\plugins\davinci.gc_1_2 folder under C:\ti\ccs920\ccs\eclipse\dropins-gc\BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0\lib

as CCS was reporting an error about 

  • connected the MSP430G2553 LacunhPad with the BOOST-DRV8711 through serial COM5:
  • launched again through View > GUI Composer > Applications > BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0

Now, CCS displays an empty serial port selection box.

What should I do to evaluate the BOOST-DRV8711? 

  • I searched for DRV8711 on the online gallery, with no result. for that specific reference.
  • Similarly, I couldn't find out how to upload the BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0 to the online GUI Composer.
  • Double-clicking on BOOST-DRV8711_GUIv1.0.exe doesn't launch anything.

Thank you.
