3.1.1 Downloading the Software

Before programming the DLPC7540EVM, make sure the DLPDLC-GUI and DMD firmware are both downloaded on the PC. The DLPDLC-GUI allows for operation of the EVM. The DMD firmware is required so the DLPC7540EVM knows which DMD is being controlled. The DLP471TEEVM comes with a DLP471TE DMD which is for 4K display applications. The EVM when installed with DLP471TE DMD can operate using DLP471TE (4K) or DLP471NE (1080p) based firmware. Similarly, the DLP472TEEVM and DLP650TEEVM comes with a DLP472TE and DLP650TE DMD for 4K display applications and can operate with DLP472TE (4K), DLP650TE (4K), DLP471NE (1080p), or DLP472NE (1080p) based firmware. Any of the three types of DMD EVMs can also be retrofitted with the corresponding 1080p DMDs (DLP471NE/DLP472NE/DLP651NE) but does not have XPR operation enabled. For a summary of firmware compatibility, see Table 3-1.

(1) The DMD supporting firmware and DLPDLC-GUI can be found in the EVM tool folder and in the product pages on TI.com. These are the product pages for the DLP471TE, DLP471NE, DLP472TE, DLP472NE, DLP650TE, DLP651NE, and the DLPC7540.
(2) XPR operation which is required for 4K resolution is disabled.
