After I hit restart on the CPU, "IFI>" comes up in the COM4 Terminal but no encoder output using the precompiled .hex file.

Although after pressing reset, the Program Light state becomes green.
Being clueless myself, I called the folks at IFI to see if they might have some insight into what's going on and they're of the opinion that your USB to serial converter is wonky. Do you have a PC with a real serial port you can try? Anyway, I'll send you a private message with information on who to contact at IFI for help.
