Follow these steps to download and configure the DLPC44xx GUI:

1. Download and install the associated Firmware SW package. The Projector Control (.projector) and Firmware binary (.img) files are located in the install directory. The same procedure applies to the other supported DMDs within the appropriate firmware install directory.
2. Setting up Communication Preferences:
   1. DLPC44xx GUI supports USB and I2C communication. To change these settings, please go to Edit- >Preferences->Communication.
      Figure 2-3 DeVaSys Communication Configuration
   2. For USB, select the USB interface.
      Note: USB is the preferred method to download the firmware flash image to the projector as USB is much faster than I2C.
      Figure 2-4 USB Communication Configuration
   3. An error message can appear saying the USB driver cannot be opened. This is expected, as TI has not yet enabled communication on the board. Click OK on this error.

3. Projector Control Configuration:

   1. Run the DLPC44xx GUI tool and select the Projector Control sub-tool.

   3. Make sure the desired Projector Control File is checked, then select OK.
      Note: If the user wants to use one Projector Control file at a time, then de-select the files to hide before selecting OK.

4. Flash Loader Configuration:
   1. Select the Flash Loader sub-tool, then select the Browse button. Navigate to the .img file installed in Step 1 and select Open.

   2. Select Complete Image Download if this is the first time download. The flash has the boot loader pre-loaded; uncheck the Skip Boot Loader Area.
      Note: Check Skip Boot Loader Area only if you need to upgrade the bootloader.

   3. Connect DLPC4420AEVM to PC via USB. Make sure USB communication capability by clicking Reset Bus on the bootloader menu in the DLPC44xx GUI. The Status field looks as follows:
      Figure 2-12 Communication Between GUI and EVMs
      Note: If there is an issue with USB communication, then turn off DLPC4430EVM and disconnect then reconnect USB cable and power on board.
   4. Select Start Download to begin. The loading process takes about 2 minutes.
   5. After the download has completed, switch SW1 to OFF and switch the power to the unit under test (UUT) off. Remove the jumper on J8 from the DLPC4430EVM board.
   6. After removing the jumper, re-enable power to the DLPC4430EVM. Switch SW1 to the “On” position. A Red LED appears after a few seconds. The Red LED shuts off and a green LED begins blinking. After the blinking LED appears, the DLP Texas Instruments logo is visible on the DMD for a few seconds. The DMD appears as seen in Figure 3-13:
      Figure 2-13 Splash Image Displayed on DMD

Turn the switch back to the OFF position before connecting the USB cable to DLPC4430EVM. The power supply does not have to be disconnected before connecting the USB cable. Once the USB cable is connected to the DLPC4430EVM (and the PC), turn the switch on the DLPC4430EVM to the “on” position.
