    Hi Amarchand,

    The light sensor was connected to the ADC Group-1 channel-9.

    And even you can get demo project for this light sensor in the below link:

    HERCULES_SAFETY_MCU_DEMOS Support software | TI.com

    Download and install above Hercules Safety MCU Demos. 

    Actually these demos have UI as well, that means you can download the demo and can see the result directly on screen.

    But unfortunately, this UI is built on windows-xp and it won't work now but still we can do one thing.

    1. First import the demo project in your CCS:

    2. Now flash this demo code into your HDK board

    3. Now use the below Excel to send the commands.

    LC43x Demo Software protocol.xlsx

    4. First open a serial terminal with below settings:

    5. Now you can send your required command to get the corresponding data:

    Example: 

    If you want room temperature then please send the below highlighted command from serial port

    Then the program will read the temperature using thermal resistor and will send the data back to you on Serial terminal:

    Similarly, you can execute other commands and verify.
