  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    I have accessed another member of the team to help with your questions.

    Thanks,

    Jason

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    Nice to meet you. I'll be working with another colleague on this issue.

    May we please know what project file and what what version of Composer you are using to get started?

    Thank you for your patience,
    Michael Ly

  • File Name: DL3021_DGP_RGB_25HZ    DL3021_DGP_RGB_60HZ  Version : DLP Composer 15.3.0.7

    every thing download from your website and both are not work.

    i am not first time to use this EVM, i download everthing again due to i change my PC, and i found the package in your website is not same before, example , i don't see 25HZ & 60HZ version before, i just configure in tools. 

    is that cause the issue? unfortunatly i can not find the old version project files, otherwise, won't raise question here.

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    Thank you for the information, and I'm sorry to hear that. Let me check with my team to see if they can get some of the older files. I will see if I can get any of these projects running on the EVM as well. This may take a few days.

    Thank you,
    Michael Ly

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    I'm sorry for the delay.. I was out sick late last week to early this week and have been catching up on tasks slowly.

    Please let me test on one of our systems starting Tuesday when I get back from national holiday (occurs Monday).

    Regards,
    Michael Ly

  • Xiaoqiang,

    Thanks for your patience. I am receiving extra support from a colleague. He will be trying out the baseline on one of our EVMs we have in the lab. Please give him a couple more days to see if he can reproduce your issue. In the mean time, may you check if you have the following pages set up correctly in Composer?

    1. Sequence Set
    2. Image/Video

    Additionally, Composer 15.3.0.7 only supports integer numbers for duty cycles in the Sequence Set page.

    Screen shots would be very appreciated.

    Thank you and regards,
    Michael Ly

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    I just tested the DLP3021_DGP_RGB_25Hz and DLP3021_DGP_RGB_60Hz projects from ti.com and found that they both built as expected with no modifications. However, I tried using only the "2020-09-29_DGPRegSeqDB-RTM.seqdb" sequence database in the 60Hz project and found that I was unable to build the sequences with that DB.

    Can you please verify that you have only the second seqdb file selected on the Sequence Set tab and try again?

    The 25Hz project built without issues with either seqdb.

    If your seqdb settings are correct and you still have build issues then please export your project (File -> Export Project) and attach it here for me to take a look. You can use the default export settings.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    Are you still having this issue? If so, can you please send me the Composer project so that I can investigate further?

    Thank you,

    Andrew

  • pls give me the email address

  • Please send it to a-thomas2@ti.com

    Thanks!

  • it's kind kof big size, i send you via mu personla mail and not sure if you can download, but pls use the below source and reproduce. or you already reproduce the issue. pls help to accelerate . 

     

  • Hi Xiaoqiang,

    Thanks for sending the files! I don't see anything in your build log indicating a failure; can you verify whether or not you have a binary file located in <project dir>/Outputs? It should be called FlashImage.img.

    I've also imported your project and built it myself without issues on the same version of Composer as you.

    One thing that stands out to me from your build log is that you have your project saved with a pretty long path: "C:\DlpProjects\DLP Auto\DGP\DLP3021-Q1\DLP3021-Q1 Composer Project and FPGA Configuration 1.2\TIRef_EVM_FW\2021-03-25_DGP_Project_and_FPGA_Configuration\". I think it's unlikely that this is the issue, but some Windows applications don't work well with really long paths. Can you try moving/renaming folders to get a smaller path and try again?

    Thanks!

    Andrew
