Tool/software:
This will probably ruffle some feathers here.
I have to say, in my 30 years if engineering I have never wasted more time on a Eval Kit.
The documentation is like it was written by a intern. I should be able to follow the EVM document step by step and have no issues. Instead, I am spending more time googling issues why its not working than actually determining if the IC will work for my project. Not to mention the $200 price tag for such a board, having to purchase 2 of them and getting no where is aggravating to say the least.
