Hi. Information contained within the DLP® LightCrafter (TM) Display 230NP EVM User's Guide both implies and explicitly outlines that video will be relayed via the ribbon cable to the EVM from the Raspberry Pi using the configured GPIO. There's language which suggests that the EVM is the ONLY video output via the RPi and that a user must interact with it via a USB to a PC (or similar...?). Furthermore, I'm reading the /boot/config.txt modifications as indicating that HDMI output to a screen, such as one which is typically used via HDMI-micro 0 or 1 to a monitor for the Raspian GUI, is disabled.
Is there any reason why the Pi cannot output to the EVM via the GPIO and also output to a monitor for convenience and user continuity? Is there some way that this 'overloads' the RPi GPU or otherwise prevents 2 'displays'...? If it is possible to use a 1080 monitor via the HDMI as well as use the GPIO for the DPI18 output, please let me know how to configure that.
Thanks,
Mark Schroeder
