Working Principle of GUI Composer

Tim Cruise

Hello,

From the overview of GUI Composer:

https://dev.ti.com/gc/v2/help/GC_UserGuide_v2/overview.html

GUI Composer Application sends commands or data to interact with firmware running on target device remotely and
displays data sent by your target device.

I did try a few examples for MSP432P401R. They just worked through the debugger USB cable. These examples cannot be considered as remote target.

If I want to show remote target device's data or sensor readings, what are the official procedures to work it out in GUI Composer? Is there any example?

Note that "remote target" means "a target that is remote from the host running GUI Composer". The MSP432P401R board would be a separate (remote) target from the PC running the GC app. A physical USB connection happens to be used for the transport between the two, but the MSP432P401R is still considered "remote"

Perhaps this example is more alone the lines of what you are thinking of for "remote"
