2.4.1 Powering Up the DLPLCRC964EVM

The DLPLCRC964EVM is ready to use after assembling with a supported DMD EVM and a front-end board such as the AMD VC-707 EVM. The following steps show how to power, display an image, and connect the EVM to a PC.

Before powering up the DLPLCRC964EVM / AMD EVM board, follow the instructions on programming the configuration PROM for either the standalone system or the AMD EVM and standalone system.

Power-Up Instructions:

  1. Verify that switch SW1 is OFF and facing away from the DLPC964 Controller [DMD in parked state].
  2. Power on the AMD EVM.
    Note: Allow sufficient time for the AMD EVM board to configure (DS1 and DS10 illuminates, indicating successful power-up on the Apps FPGA).
  3. Connect a 12V, 5A DC power supply to the barrel jack connector J3 shown in Figure 1-3.
  4. Flip SW1 ON to face toward the DLPC964 Controller (DMD in unparked state).
  5. 12V power (D1), DLPC964 Power Good (D2), and DMD Power Good (D3) LEDs illuminate indicating that power is present on the DLPLCRC964EVM and DLPLCR99EVM / DLPLCR99UVEVM boards.
  6. DLPC964 Done (D4) illuminates indicating that the DLPC964 has completed initialization.
  7. Phased-Locked Loop (D6) & DMD HSSI sync error (D7) illuminate indicating that there are no DMD HSSI sync errors and that the DLPC964 PLL is locked.
  8. DLPC964 heartbeat (D5) flashes on and off indicating that the DLPLCRC964EVM is running.
    Note: The DLPLCR99EVM and DLPLCR99UVEVM DMD board or a properly configured AMD EVM board must be present for the DLPC964 to initialize.
  9. Connect a USB cable from a PC to connector J9 on the DLPLCRC964EVM, as seen in Figure 1-3. The first time the cable is connected on a PC, the DLPLCRC964EVM enumerates. The required drivers are installed as part of the DLPLCRC964EVM GUI installation.
  10. Open and run the DLP LightCrafter DLPC964 GUI. When the GUI application opens, look at the bottom left. The GUI is going to display Hardware Connected.
  11. The DLPLCRC964EVM can be controlled through the GUI software available for download from the DLPLCRC964EVM Tools Folder.
