![]() I verified the version installed on BBB board and found to be version 8. In the Quick Start Guide it says that TI recommends using Debian Jessie version 8.9. The conclusion was that the problem was somewhere else. I was happy to see that the DLP is also OK. I had to found out if the DLP board is OK or it was damaged, therefore I decided to unmount the DLP board from the BBB board.ĭLP unmounted, I connected the power jack and happily, I got the splash screen. What I got was that it could see only the EEPROM located at address 0x54-0x57. This was a proof that the BBB was working.įollowing the Quick Start Guide, I used the i2cdetect command in order to see if DLP is seen by the system. I managed to log in using the default login and password for installed Debian image. Using the IP found in the previous step I launched putty and I connected to the BBB. Based on my experience with RPi boards, I connected a network cable to the Ethernet port and I opened the DHCP Client List in the administrative webpage for my wireless router to find the address allocated to the BBB through the DHCP service.įig.4 Identifying IP allocated to the BBB board I decided to see if the BBB is working ok and if I can access it via the Ethernet port. I went to TI E2E Community searched for an answer but didn't get anything clear. Because I found nothing I was worried that the DLP might get broken during the transport and thus my RoadTest will be very short. I went back to the User's guide and looked for some indication that the two must be powered separately. I have waited in vain.ĭo I need to power both boards, the DLP and the BBB? If the two are mounted, don't they provide the power from one to the other over some of the pins? I hoped that at a certain moment the DLP will also start and display the splash image. Power LED turned on and then the other LEDs indicating that the board is performing a boot started to flash. I have moved the power jack to the BBB board power connection. No LED light up to indicate that the board was working or is at least powered. I inserted the power jack in the DLP board power connection and waited for the projector to display the EVM splash screen. I wanted to have the first projected image as soon as possible so I thought that I can do the first test for the DLP board as indicated in section 2 – Quick-Start Guide of the User's Guide. So, I skipped the part 2 of the guide presenting the steps for assembling the DLP board.įig.3 BBB board box and the BBB and DLP boards mounted together.Ĭonnecting and powering up the kit (part I) ![]() To my surprise in the box of the BBB board I found the DLP board already mounted on the BeagleBone Black (BBB) board. The AC cord plug doesn't fit into my mains so I had to use an adapter I already had and used with power adapters which were part of other kits.

I have explained to them that it is for an element14 RoadTest and that I get it for free, so they let it go without any tax. It seemed to be that they had to figure out how to custom tax the kit before sending it further to me. After more than a week of receiving notifications that I will be contacted, I finally decided to call the postal service to see what the problem was. This is what also happened with the DLP Pico kit that I was to receive as being selected for the RoadTest. For example, a table with the signals on the expansion headers will be very useful.Īlmost every time I have to receive a mail package from another region than the UE there are problems with the delivery, a long delay being the most common situation. What were the biggest problems encountered?: Finding documentation on the DLP LightCrafter Display 2000 EVM. A comparison between such parts in a Road Test would be very interesting. ![]() ![]() Comparable parts using other technologies can be AAXA P1 Mini Projector (Liquid Crystal on Silicon technology) and Syndiant SEE100 free focus laser optical engine. What other parts do you consider comparable to this product?: I didn't use parts in the same category. RoadTest: DLP® Pico™ Display Projector EVM-BeagleBone BlackĮvaluation Type: Development Boards & Toolsĭid you receive all parts the manufacturer stated would be included in the package?: True
