DLPC6401: GUI and firmware

Jim Teunis

Part Number: DLPC6401

Hello,

I am designing a DLP control board with the DLPC6401. In various documents and posts, I see the DLPC6401 GUI tool mentioned. However, I cannot find a download link. Can you provide me with the download?

Also, I am unclear on the firmware requirements.

  • Is the USB connection needed or can I do everything over I2C?
  • Can I flash the boom ROM via the DLPC6401 or do I have to program it manually?
  • Where can I find an image for the boot ROM? Does TI provide it, or should I ask my optical module manufacturer?

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Jim

    Jim,

    I'll loop in the team to check if and where the DLPC6401 GUI is available.

    Are you working directly with an OMM?

    Hello Jim,

    Welcome to DLP forum and thank you for your interest in DLP technology.

    Please find resposne to oyur questions:

    • Is the USB connection needed or can I do everything over I2C?

       USB connection is not required. You should be able ot normal development debug with I2C.

    • Can I flash the boom ROM via the DLPC6401 or do I have to program it manually?

    External /manual programming of ROM will be efficient and faster. In order to program via DLPC6401 , the boot loader code must present in the flash. You need to use JTAG to load the boot loader.

    • Where can I find an image for the boot ROM? Does TI provide it, or should I ask my optical module manufacturer?

    Please contact optical module manufacturer for the boot rom image. You may also ask them for the GUI. Unfortunately , the GUI is not available on TI website.

    regards,

    Vivek

    Ok clear thank you. So do I understand correctly that, if I program the ROM, no boot loader will be required? This would imply that JTAG would also not be required, correct?

    Hi Jim,

    Your understanding is correct. The bootlegger is in the flash image.
