Can not get DLPDLCR2000 to display anything

[Jacek Radzikowski]

Hello,

I've got a Ti DLP module and I'm trying to make it display an image from BBBW. I updated the kernel, first to 4.4.84-ti-r120, then to 4.9.45-ti-r57. OS packages were updated to the most recent versions. I followed the instructions from EVM user guide,  but unfortunately the projector stays dark, and does not respond to i2cset.

With kernel 4.9.45-ti-r57 I find in boot log the following messages:
[    2.839168] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: Baseboard: 'A335BNLT,BWA5,1645BBWG0580'

Capemanager loaded only the display overlay:

root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
 0: PF----  -1
 1: PF----  -1
 2: PF----  -1
 3: P---L-   0 DLPDLCR2000,00A0,TI,DLPDLCR2000

i2cset fails with write error:
root@beaglebone:/opt/scripts/tools# i2cset -y 2 0x1b 0x0b 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 i
Error: Write failed

To make sure that no overlays interfere with operation of the display, I disabled the universal cape in uEnv.txt, but it did not help.

The module is powered from an external 5V power supply and displays test image when powered on without BBBW.

Full boot log is attached.

Thanks,

Jacek.

For this cape, you need to use u-boot overlays:

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#U-Boot_Overlays

they also have some init scripts under /opt/scripts/

i finally picked up the cape, so i'll have more documented tomorrow..

Correct, "slots" is technically disabled with u-boot overlays..

run:

sudo perl /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl

and you'll see the pinmuxing..

nm... that might be broken..

debian@test-bbbw-8:~$ uname -r
4.9.45-ti-r57
debian@test-bbbw-8:~$ sudo perl /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl
Died at /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl line 57, <> line 3.
pin 0 (PIN0): 481d8000.mmc (GPIO UNCLAIMED) function pinmux_emmc_pins
group pinmux_emmc_pins

Okay, this works:

First flash this image:

https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-08-01/lxqt-4gb/

Then...

Plug in 5V into the DLP2000 and then "also" plug in 5v into the BBB...

Yes, two power supplies are required....

login over ssh:

debian@beaglebone:~$ uname -r
4.4.68-ti-r115

and run:

debian@beaglebone:~$ i2cset -y 2 0x1b 0x0b 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 i
debian@beaglebone:~$ i2cset -y 2 0x1b 0x0c 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x1b i

desktop shows up..

i'd like to move those 2 commands in u-boot at startup...
