Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP3010EVM-LC, , DLPC300
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
I am now using DLP3000 LightCrafter DMP365, with "DLP LightCrafter Firmware and Software Bundle - Windows" installed (downloaded from https://www.ti.com/store/ti/en/p/product/?p=DLPLIGHTCRAFTER).
Once I connect my LC to the computer by pressing the 'Connect' button in GUI, it pops out a message saying 'MSP430 firmware version mismatch!!! Please update to v3.0'.
Firmware version frame reads:
DM365: 5.0
FPGA: 2.6.43
MSP430: 0.0
Following the instructions from the DLP LC EVM manual: http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/dlpu006e/dlpu006e.pdf
I updated the MSP430 firmware as described in section 2.13(p.47), with "lcr_msp430_v3.txt" under "DP3000-C300REF-MSP430-v3.0" directory but it didn't work.
I changed the file format to .hex and it didn't work either.
I read section 3.2 of manual(p.54) and try to compile and create the firmware file from the beginning.
I noticed there are two threads closely related to my problem: https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp/f/94/t/581168?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=MSP430v3 and https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/581918#pi320995filter=all&pi320995scroll=false.
I followed build up procedure in these threads but I am not able to get the 'MSP430.hex' file after the build up. As a result I cannot proceed to step 6 in section 3.2 in DLP LC EVM manual.
I typed following in the post-build steps:
"${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin"
"${BuildArtifactFileName}"
"${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin"
"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/ofd430"
"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/hex430"
"${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin"
as described in section 6.1.3.4 of the CCS manual: http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_project-management.html.
I am now using CCS 9.0.0.
Thanks very much for the help.
