2.2 Software Installation
Download and install the following software from TI:
• DLP3021-Q1 Composer Project and FPGA Configuration ( DLPC135 ): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/dlpc135
• DLP Control Program for the DLP3021-Q1 DMD ( DLPC136 ): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/dlpc136
• DLP Composer for DLP3021-Q1 ( DLPC137 ): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/dlpc137
• MSP430 Example Code ( DLPC138 ): https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/dlpc138
Download and install the following from third-parties:
• The C232HM MPSSE cable requires USB device drivers, available free from http://www.ftdichip.com. The
D2XX driver is used with application software to directly access the FT232H in the cable though a DLL.

2.3 Power-Up
Follow these steps to properly supply power to the EVM:
1. Connect the input power cable to a power supply that meets input power specifications defined in Section
1.3.1 . A 12-V supply with a 0.5-A limit is recommended for out-of-box evaluation. The red cable for the V+
terminal and black cable for the V– terminal.
2. Set the operation mode switches to the Local Host Control operating mode as defined in Section 1.2.1 . The
EVM is already flash programmed with TI demo image/video content when shipped for out-of-box evaluation.
3. Turn on the supply power, and the EVM will immediately begin to display content.
2.4 Select Display Content
Follow these steps to run the DGP software to change the display content and settings:
1. Turn off the supply power.
2. Set the operation mode switches to the
Host Mute operating mode as defined in Section 1.2.1 .
3. Turn on the supply power. Figure 2-3 shows the LED status of the EVM when in the Host Mute operation
mode.

4. At start-up in Host Mute operation mode, the default content projected will be a static image of vertical color
bars.
5. Confirm the FTDI cable is connected to the PC. While running DLP Control Program, click on the Connection
list. If the FTDI cable is not already connected, click the Connect button. Note, the Connection settings must
be a clock rate of 5 MHz and timeout of 500 ms.
