Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC3439, DLPA3005, DLP4710

Dear all,

I have designed my 4710 board based on TI DLP4710EVM. But I can't Update DLPC3439 firmware.

Whether TI can provide a firmware?

Another, there is nothing on DMD.

Can I get anything before a correct firmware?

thank you for any help.

Best regards,

Kelly

Hello Kelly,

Do you have one of our DLP LightCrafter 4710 EVM's already ? If yes, you can simply back-up the firmware with the DLP LightCrafter GUI.

Are you using the same RLIM value for the DLPA3005 on your own design ?

Without proper firmware the DLPC3439 will not finish initialization process and no image will be displayed on the DMD.

Best regards,

Nadine

Hi Nadine,
I will have a DLP LightCrafter 4710 EVM after a few weeks, can you send me a Firmware before 4710 EVM rearch me.
I download a firmware from TI website, but I am not sure it correctly and it don't work.
I use the same RLIM value for the DLPA3005 in my design.

The firmware I have downloaded is 6.31MB, but flash W25Q32 is 4MB.
Perhaps it is the reason Updating failed?

Hello Kelly,
Yes this is the problem. I can remove three of the splash images and this should reduce the image size to fit in the 4MB flash.

I will provide a new firmware soon.

Hello Kelly,

I have uploaded a new firmware with only one splash image. You should be able to download this firmware in the 4MB flash.

LED D_GPIO5 is connected to the GPIO5 of the DLPC3439 Master and will be used for internal testing.

Nadine

Hello Nadine,

Thank you for your firmware, and I have updated it to my DLP4710 board.

By this firmware, DMD can display image and HDMI video.

But, it can not read EVM type when I update the firmware, so I must chose N.

EVM Status is Incompatible EVM, and DMD version is not got. it causes many commands can not operate.

I think DMD ID read error or does not read.

How can I solve this issue? The GUI appearance as below pictures.

TI__Genius 10495 points

Hello Kelly,

The EVM status shows incompatible because the GUI can not read the DMD device ID. Does this issue only occur on your board or also on our DLP LightCrafte Display 4710 EVM ?

Are you using the cypress chip on your board ?

Best regards,

Nadine

Hi Nadine,

I think the GUI can not read the DMD device ID. Because I see it read DMD device ID is 60h,0Dh,00h,73h by composer.

But it is 60h,0Dh,00h,6Bh in DLPC3439 Software Programmer’s Guide.

So I believe it is wrong in reading DMD device ID.

Can you judge the reason?

Best Regards

Kelly

TI__Genius 10495 points

Hello Kelly,

Are you using the DLP4710 DMD ? The correct DMD ID should be 6Bh instead of 73h.

During initialization the DLPC3439 is checking the device ID of the DMD. If it wouldn't read the correct ID the DLPC3439 will not boot. Are you seeing an image on the DMD ?

Best regards,

Nadine

Hi Nadine,

Yes, I can see an image on DMD, and I can play a video on DMD.

I am sure that I am using DLP4710FQL.

are there different version about 4710DMD?

DMD device ID I have read by UI-Advanced is as below picture:

I am very surprising that DMD device ID differently 60h,0Dh,00h,6Bh.

Wish you more infomation about 4710DMD?

Best Regards

Kelly

0 Nadine Estermann over 9 years ago in reply to Kelly Yang

TI__Genius 10495 points

Hello Kelly,

We have two device IDs for the 4710 DMD. The GUI is mainly designed for our EVMs which are using DMDs with the device ID 0x6B. There is no difference between a 4710 DMD with device ID 0x6B and 0x73.

The GUI is currently only checking for 0x6B and that is the reason you are getting the incompatible EVM information.

We will fix this issue in one of the next GUI releases.

Best regards,

Nadine

Hello Nadine,
Wish your new GUI, and thank you for your help during this period.
I have operated 4710 DMD now by GUI 4.0.
But Update flash image is not available on GUI 4.0 and get started button is grey.
thank you for any further information.

Best Regards

Hello Kelly,

We currently don't support the updating firmware feature in the GUI 4.0 for the 4710 EVM.

If you would like to update your image I can assist you with that. Please let me know which changes are needed.

Hello Kelly,

Yes I can support this request but it might take me a few days to get back to you.

Are you using the same RLIM value as on the DLPDLCR4710EVM ?

Best regards,

Nadine

Hello Nadine,

I have got a DLPDLCR4710EVM and power on.

I found 'update flash image' is not available on 4710EVM GUI tool and the button 'get started' is gray.

Can't it support on DLP display 4.0?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Kelly

Hello Kelly,
