2.1.1 Hardware Status

The hardware status command provides status information on the sequencer, digital micromirror device (DMD) controller, and initialization of DLPC900.

Table 2-2 Hardware Status Command Definition
BYTE BITS DESCRIPTION RESET TYPE
0 0 Internal Initialization d1 r
0 = Error
1 = Successful
1 0 = No Error d0 r
1 = Incompatible Controller or DMD
Note: This error also occurs if the wrong firmware for the system has been loaded.
2 DMD Reset Controller Error d0 r
0 = No error has occurred
1 = Multiple overlapping bias or reset operations are accessing the same DMD block.
3 Forced Swap Error d0 r
0 = No error has occurred.
1 = Forced Swap Error occurred.
4(1) 0 = No Secondary Controller Present d0 (single controller DMD)
d1 (dual controller DMD)		 r
1 = Secondary Controller Present and Ready
5 Reserved d0 r
6 Sequencer Abort Status Flag d0 r
0 = No error has occurred
1 = Sequencer has detected an error condition that caused an abort
7 Sequencer Error d0 r
0 = No error has occurred.
1 = Sequencer detected an error.
(1) When the DLPC900 is combined with a single controller DMD, this bit is 0. When two DLPC900 controllers are combined with a dual controller DMD, this bit must be 1 for proper operation. If the bit is 0 and the DLPC900 is combined with a dual controller DMD, this indicates a malfunction in one or both controllers.

DLPA200 Status is available only when connected to a DLP5500 DMD. Bits 3, 4, and 5 of this command are used to update both DLPA200 Status and DLPA200 Fault.

BYTE BITS DESCRIPTION RESET TYPE
0 3 DLPA200 Thermal Fault 0 r
0 = No fault reported
1 = DLPA200 reported thermal warning or thermal shutdown
4 DLPA200 Voltage Fault
0 = No fault reported
1 = DLPA200 reported under voltage
5 DMD Current Fault
0 = No fault reported
1 = DLPA200 reported over current
Note:

Any error condition indicates a fault condition that must be corrected.

BYTE BITS DESCRIPTION RESET TYPE
0 0 Communication error with DMD 0 r
0 = No fault reported
1 = Controller cannot communicate with DMD
1 Communication error with DLPA200 (1)
0 = No fault reported
1 = Controller cannot communicate with DLPA200
2 Error initializing SSP port for communication with DMD
0 = No fault reported
1 = Controller cannot initialize SSP communication with DMD
(1) DLPA200 communicaton status is available only when connected to a DLP5500 DMD.
Note: Any error condition indicates a fault condition that must be corrected.
