DLPU077 – March 2019
Quick Start
This chapter offers a quick start guide on how to connect the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the
DLPLCRDC4422EVM, how to power up the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, and how to program the
DLPLCRDC4422EVM to display a SPLASH image on the DMD.
2.1
Downloading the Software
Before programming the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, ensure the DLPC4422 GUI and DMD firmware are both
downloaded on the PC. The DLPC4422 GUI will allow for operation of the EVM and the DMD firmware is
required so the DLPLCRDC4422EVM knows which DMD is being controlled. If the DLPDLCR660TEVM is
being used with the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, the DLP660TE firmware is needed.
The DLP660TE firmware and DLPC4422 GUI can be found under the “Tools and Software” tab on the
product pages on TI.com. This is the product page for the
and the product page for the
.

Connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM
Before connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, locate the two flex cables that
are packaged with the DLPDLCR660TEVM. Ensure the flex cables are not torn or damaged before
connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM or the DLPLCRDC4422EVM.
The flex cables are exactly the same, meaning there is not a “right” or “left” cable. The cables are
interchangeable, as long as the side of each cable labeled “DMD END” is connected to the
DLPDLCR660TEVM and the other end is connected to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM.
The steps for the connecting the EVMs are listed below:
1. Unscrew and remove the backer plate on each end of the flex cable.
2. Position the flex cable end which says “DMD END” to the backside of the DMD board.
3. Insert the two guide pins of the flex cable into the DMD board.
4. Using the guide pins, place one backer plate on the front side of the DMD board.
5. Screw the flex cable screws clockwise into the backer plate until nearly fully inserted
6. Take turns screwing in the screws so until each is lightly snug. Do not over-tighten.
