1.2.1 Formatter Subsystem
The formatter subsystem converts and translates image/video data stored in external flash memory through the
FPGA based DMD controller into the Double Data Rate (DDR) interface format compatible with the DLP3021-
Q1 data bus. The EVM offers two operating modes to specify what and how the image/video content is to
be displayed: in a closed-loop stand-alone mode using the on-board MSP430 MCU, or through an external
controller (such as the FTDI USB-to-SPI cable or Cheetah™ SPI Host Adapter) for GUI operation.
A DIP two-position switch at S1 on the DLP3021L1Q1EVM allows the user to physically set the operating mode
of the formatter subsystem. The SPI Adapter board also has two physical switches (S1 and S2) to set the same
operating modes.
