DLP4710EVM-LC: Startup Batch file to not turn on light

Part Number: DLP4710EVM-LC

Hi, 
What is the correct batch file to do the exactly the same thing I did in this post https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp-products-group/dlp/f/dlp-products-forum/1164325/dlp4710-g2/4386311#4386311
but with the device DLP4710EVM-LC? Whit the same batch file of that post doesn't work with this device
I want to write an auto-init routine in which the RGB channels are turned OFF.
Thank you
Donato

  • Hi,
    using this batch file as auto init script the  DLP4710EVM-LC is anyway starting with leds rgb ON.
    Do I have to uncomment something from this file?
    Thank you
    Donato

  • Hello Donato,

    How are you updating the batch file on your EVM. Are you using the GUI to update?

    Regards,

    John

  • Yes I'm using DLP EVM GUI 3.1.0.7

  • Hello Donato,

    Unfortunately, we have noticed that there is a known issue with the GUI for uploading the batch file that we are currently debugging. We will have a newer version of the GUI to be released, but we don't yet have an expected date for the fix. 

    Regards,

    Lori 

  • I see,, is there another way to update the firmware?

  • Hi Donato,

    If you want to disable the LEDs at power up, then it requires the firmware change and unfortunately there is a known issue with the GUI to update the firmware. 

    There is an option to disable the LEDs by using I2C command W 36 52 00  after power up, but I'm not sure if that satisfies your application.

    Regards,

    Lori 

  • Do you know if the issue of upgrading the firmware is related to the stage of updating firmware or the stage of creating the image to flash?
    because if I update the original firmware it works.
    Regards
    Donato 

  • Hi Donato,

    This is more of an issue with creating a new image with auto-init script.

    Regards,

    Akhil
