What reference design information is available?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC300

A hardware reference design based on the DLP3000 WVGA chipset is available.  More information is located at http://www.ti.com/tool/dlp3000-c300ref.  The DLP LightCrafter is a 3rd party implementation of the reference design. 

Included in the reference design is a FPGA, which when used with the DLPC300, enables higher pattern rates (4 kHz binary vs 1.44 kHz), a configurable I/O trigger (vs fixed output trigger), and more flexibility over pattern rate/bit depth combinations.  Compiled, FPGA firmware is available for developers to download and implement in their own FPGA.  Support for the FPGA source code is not available.

Please contact a TI DLP Design House for development support with illumination sources and optics.

    That webpage has a download link for an image labeled "DLP3000-C300REFDM365" with the description "Embedded Linux MicroSD 4GB Image for DM365".  When downloaded the file installs to a directory titled "DLP LightCrafter DLP3000-C300REFDM365" which only contains "DLP3000-C300REFDM365.bin" and provides no documentation.

    What do I do with the bin file?  Is this a flash image for the DM365?  How do I install it to a 4GB MicroSD card?  Once installed what applications are available and where are they?

    Also, I do not see a FPGA firmware available there.  Is it available for download yet?

    Hello Peter,

    You need to use a disk image copy utility to copy to a micro-SD card. Set the board to boot from SD, insert the card, and power up. When the DM365 LED turns green, power down the board, move the switch to boot from NAND, remove micro-SD card, and power up.

    The FPGA firmware will be soon uploaded on to http://www.ti.com/tool/dlp3000-c300ref for download.
