5.1 DLP Composer

DLP Composer for DLP3021-Q1 is a software tool that allows users to configure and generate firmware flash data for the DMD controller of the EVM. In the case of the DLP3021LEQ1EVM, the firmware file generated is specific to the FPGA based DMD controller, and loaded into external SPI flash memory. The DMD controller executes commands to read image/video content from the SPI flash memory, and processes the content into the Data Rate (DDR) interface format compatible with the DLP3021-Q1 data bus. The image/video content must be flashed into the external SPI flash memory prior to running the GUI. Image/video content cannot be uploaded or streamed in real-time to the DMD controller.

The DLP Composer DGP process is explained with more detail in the DLP3021-Q1 Dynamic Ground Projection System Design (DLPA086) report.
