System tab: Board information is: none,none; Hardware Version: 0; Firmware Version: 0; New Board ID: 1

Ideas??
I was having the same problem, it turned out that I had switched the TX and RX pins on the custom adapter cable. Also be sure you've connected GND to GND on the adapter cable. The yellow solid light can be acquired by connecting the V+ and CAN_L or CAN_H to the DB9 adapter. Hope this helps
