DMD in DLP Pico Projector and Beagleboard Use

Hello,

I am very confused on what needs to be done to communicate with the DMD in the DLP Pico projector Development Kit. I have read all the manuals but I still get confused on what to do. (The manuals contain an overwhelming breadth of information that I don't really understand where to start or what to do as a beginner.)

Is the first step to get a beagleboard and connect it to the computer and the DMD? Does the beagleboard give data to the PROM and then in turn "codes" or rather directs the controller to perform a function such as turn specified micromirrors into on/off state?

After I get the beagleboard, will I be able to control the micromirrors individually or will all the micromirrors  be controlled at once and form a specific pattern such as a checkerboard pattern that I can code the DMD to do using the beagleboard? Can I use C++ or another programing language and not use I2C.

Do I need to get a preconfigured SD card or does it not matter?

If I can get the first few necessary steps in controlling the DMD on the DLP Pico Projector Development Kit, I would really appreciate it!
