2.1 Downloading the Software

Before programming the DLPC7540EVM, ensure the DLPDLC-GUI and DMD firmware are both downloaded on the PC. The DLPDLC-GUI will allow for operation of the EVM. The DMD firmware is required so the DLPC7540EVM knows which DMD is being controlled. The DLP471TEEVM comes with a DLP471TE DMD which is for 4K display applications. The EVM when installed with DLP471TE DMD can operate using DLP471TE (4K) or DLP471NE (1080p) based firmware. Similarly, the DLP650TEEVM comes with a DLP650TE DMD for 4K display applications and can operate with DLP650TE (4K) or DLP471NE (1080p) based firmware. Any of the two types of DMD EVMs can also be retrofitted with their corresponding 1080p DMDs (DLP471NE/DLP651NE) but will not have XPR operation enabled. See Table 2-1 for summary of firmware compatibility.

  1. The DMD supporting firmware and DLPDLC-GUI can be found in the EVM tool folder and in the product pages on TI.com. These are the product pages for the DLP471TE, DLP471NE, DLP650TE, DLP651NE, and the DLPC7540.
  2. XPR operation which is required for 4K resolution is disabled.
