A host PC resident system controller user interface (SCUI) is provided on the SP701 website. This
GUI enables you to query and control select programmable features such as clocks, FMC
funconality, and power systems parameters. The SP701 documentaon also includes a tutorial
on the SCUI, SP701 System Controller Tutorial (XTP551), and a SP701 Soware Install and Board
Setup Tutorial (XTP552). The instrucons are summarized as follows.
1. Ensure that the Silicon Labs VCP USB-UART drivers are installed. See Silicon Labs CP210x
USB-to-UART Installaon Guide (UG1033).
2. Download the SCUI host PC applicaon.
3. Connect a USB cable between your PC and the SP701 USB micro-AB connector (J5).
4. Power-cycle the SP701.
5. Ensure that SYSCTLR LED0 (D4) blinks and LED1 D5 is illuminated.
6. Launch the SCUI.
The SCUI GUI is shown in the following gure.
