DLPC3479: DLPC3479: Internal Pattern Streaming mode stops displaying patterns, too

Part Number: DLPC3479
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPA3005, , DLP4710

Hi TI's Friends

I'm Jia, a DLP engineer from Wintech Inc.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp-products-group/dlp/f/dlp-products-forum/1307967/dlpc3479-internal-pattern-streaming-mode-stops-displaying-patterns?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=DLPC3479#

We encounter the conpletely same problem as the friend Junfa.

Please watch the below short video

test report:

test 1: after 11 hours, one of four devices did not work, then restart all the devices

test 2: after 2 hours,one of four devices did not work, then restart all the devices

test 3: after 22 hours, one of four devices does not project patterns. with doing nothing,

test 4: after another 20 hours, the other three devices are working well now (in the video)

Hardware:

1. our custom double DLPC3749s + DLPA3005 + DLPC4710LC, the same as TI'EVM all most

2. We have produced 30 devices

3. It's a entirely random issure in different devices

Software:

1. using the V8.1 DLPC3479 firmware. TIRef-DLPC3479-DLPA3005-AC_Only-CurrentLimitsRemoved-BlueOnly-v8p1p001, shared from TI in the 2021

Trigger the patterns

1. Test 1 : as the same as the Junfa, I used IIC command to send constantly the "Run Once" command to DLPC3479 to display two pattern sets. There are random issues

2. Test 2 : I changed to send "Trigger In" signals, instead of the IIC command, from an external MSP430 MCU board. There are random issues too

3. Test 3 : I changed the pattern set pre/exposure/post time\ the number of pattern in the sets\reprogram the fireware\, but there are random issues too

4. I'm sure all the configurations to pattern set are correct

Advanced Tests:

1. when the device stoped projecting patterns. I did nothing and  I did not restart

2. I connected the usb to the device

3. I sent sorts of commands to device through the TI'GUI and all returned OK, but DMD did not display any patterns/images all the time. except DLPC3479 sent trigger outs correctly 

4. and I found illuminator LED working OK some times but DMD did not work

We all know DLP4710\3010\2010 have the same issues

But Fortunately, the latest fireware V9.0 to 3010/2010 has fixed the known issues

Please let me know if you have any good news
