The DLPLCRC964EVM is ready to use
after assembling with a supported DMD EVM and a front end board such as the AMD
VC-707 EVM. The following steps show how to power, display an image, and connect the
EVM to a PC.
Before powering up the DLPLCRC964EVM /
AMD EVM board, follow the instructions on programming the configuration PROM for
either the standalone system or the AMD EVM and standalone system.
Power-Up Instructions:
- Make sure switch SW1 is OFF
and facing away from the DLPC964 Controller [DMD in parked state].
- Power on the AMD EVM.
Note: Allow sufficient time for the AMD EVM board to
configure (DS1 and DS10 illuminates, indicating successful power up on
the Apps FPGA).
- Connect a 12V, 5A DC power
supply to the barrel jack connector J3 shown in Figure 1-3.
- Flip SW1 ON to face toward
the DLPC964 Controller (DMD in unparked state).
- 12V power (D1), DLPC964 Power
Good (D2), and DMD Power Good (D3) LEDs illuminate indicating that power is
present on the DLPLCRC964EVM and DLPLCR99EVM boards.
- DLPC964 Done (D4) illuminates
indicating that the DLPC964 has completed initialization.
- Phased-Locked Loop (D6) &
DMD HSSI sync error (D7) illuminate indicating that there are no DMD HSSI
sync errors and that the DLPC964 PLL is locked.
- DLPC964 heartbeat (D5)
flashes on and off indicating that the DLPLCRC964EVM is running.
Note: The DLPLCR99EVM DMD board or a properly configured
AMD EVM board must be present for the DLPC964 to initialize.
- Connect a USB cable from a PC
to connector J9 on the DLPLCRC964EVM, as seen in Figure 1-3. The first time the cable is connected
on a PC, the DLPLCRC964EVM enumerates. The required drivers are installed as
part of the DLPLCRC964EVM GUI installation.
- Open and run the DLP
LightCrafter DLPC964 GUI. When the GUI application opens, look at the bottom
left. The GUI is going to display Hardware Connected.
- The DLPLCRC964EVM can be
controlled through the GUI software available for download from the DLPLCRC964EVM Tools Folder.
