BOOSTXL-PGA460: Multiple devices control

Part Number: BOOSTXL-PGA460
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PGA460-Q1, USB2ANY, PGA460

Hello, 

I'd like to control multiple PGA460-Q1 EVM from one PC. I found that it can launch multiple GUI at the same time, but It seems that it can not distinguish each GUI window is connecting to which devices. 

Is there any solution to control multiple devices from one PC ? I'd like to avoid using multiple PC.

    Hi Nobuaki-san,
    It is possible to control multiple PGA460-Q1 EVMs from a single PC. The PGA460-Q1 EVM uses TI's USB2ANY USB-to-PC HID interface to enable multiple instances.

    For example, to evaluate two PGA460-Q1 EVMs, I recommend that you connect and launch the GUI's in the following order:
    1) Connect EVM-1
    2) Launch GUI-1
    3) Connect EVM-2
    4) Launch GUI-2

    This allows you to manually keep track of which EVM-GUI combination belongs to instance 1, and which to instance 2.
    To better differentiate the two EVMs moving forward, I recommend that you change the PGA460 UART_ADDR value of one of the EVMs to a non-zero value. This will allow you to have both EVMs connected before starting the first GUI instance, but still be able to determine which EVM bounded to instance 1.
