DLPDLCR2000EVM: PIC Microcontrollers

LANCE LANDRUM
Prodigy 60 points
Part Number: DLPDLCR2000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC2607

Does anyone have any experience interfacing the EVM with a PIC microcontroller from Microchip?  As I am referencing the DLP User's Guide and DLP Programmer's Guide it seems that it should work because my PIC has I2C capability for the interface between the DLPC2607 controller.  Also it seems that the EEPROM and Flash memory are components that are specifically utilized with the Beaglebone.  Am I wrong in that assumption?  Essentially I am supplying the data pins, V-Sync, H-Sync, PCLK, and the two I2C pins to the DLPC2607 controller. If anyone has any tips or useful information before I undergo this project then please send my way.  Thank you.

    Lance,

    Welcome to the E2E forums, and thanks for your interest in our DLP technology.

    You have the right idea here regarding the PIC. As long as you are supplying the parallel video data lines, Vsync, Hsync, Pclk, and the I2C lines you don't need anything else to operate the EVM. The EEPROM on the EVM is there to help the BeagleBone load the correct cape overlay driver on boot, if it is installed. You will need to make sure that, upon booting the system, you send the appropriate I2C commands to the system to configure for video source and video resolution.

    I recommend you review the reference design available on TI.com to help you interface your PIC to the DLPDLCR200EVM:

    I hope this helps.
