3. Select "Connection Settings" to confirm the SPI configuration shown in
matches the controller
PCB switch settings described in
. Specifically, SPI mode and CRC/Checksum may vary based
on switch settings. Press "OK" once configuration is complete.

Steps to Reprogram the Onboard Flash Memory
The DLP5530Q1EVM comes with onboard serial Flash that is pre-programed with software and basic
configuration. The software and configuration can be updated by reprogramming the serial Flash with the
DLPC230-Q1 Automotive Control Program. Steps to re-program the serial Flash are listed below.
1. Using the DLPC230-Q1 Automotive Control Program, which is connected to the EVM, navigate to the
"Flash Program" tab.
2. Using the folder icon, select an Image File (.bin) and open it.
3. Click "Program and Verify Flash Memory."
Note that if the device is in Display mode, it will automatically be switched to Standby during programming.

Optical Engine Requirements
The DLP5530Q1EVM can be coupled to an optical engine (not included) to implement a head-up display
function or an automotive interior projection system. The detailed requirements of the optical engine are
beyond the scope of this document, but the optical engine should have separate red, green and blue
illuminators. These are typically LEDs. The optical engine will also need to provide a photodiode in the
illumination path before the DLP5530-Q1 DMD. The photodiode is used to control white point and
brightness output. A heatsink for the DLP5530-Q1 DMD might be needed for operation in high
temperature ambient environments, but is not included in the DLP5530-Q1 Electronics EVM.
