picodlp projector is supported by OMAP. OMAP4430 SDP and EVM boards have an on board projector called as picodlp projector. picodlp would be connected to display sub system as a display panel. It has a dlp pico processor dpp2600. The panel would be connected using 24 bit parallel interface. GPIO pin 59 called as DISPLAY SELECT pin selects either secondary lcd or picodlp. It is a WVGA panel with 864 X 480 resolution. To know more about picodlp please visit: http://omappedia.org/wiki/PicoDLP_projector_guide GPIO pin settings are required for powering_on the DLP and it is done in board file. The programming sequence states that processor has to send LOW on PWRGOOD (GPIO 45) then wait for a fraction of seconds and then send HIGH. EMU_DONE pin (GPIO 44) would be set to low once the DLP is ready for operation. Configuartion of picodlp involves passing dpp2600 commands through i2c. All these commands are defined in a panel header file. And more info on the commands can be found at: https://focus.ti.com/myti/docs/extranet.tsp?sectionId=403 About DLP (Digital Light Processing): DLP is Texas Instruments award-winning display technology which has powered the worlds top projectors and displays, delivering pictures rich with color, contrast, clarity and brightness to screens of all sizes. Every DLP chip features an array of up to 2.2 million microscopic mirrors that switch at ultra high speeds an innovative advantage that remains cutting edge and ideal for current and future applications alike. The results are high-resolution, highly reliable, razor-sharp images, that even work with fast motion video. To learn more about DLP technology, please visit www.DLP.com picodlp on OMAP4430 boards would make use of same technology. picodlp makes use of i2c bus device at 0x1b address for sending configuration commands to panel. In software picodlp panel driver has an i2c client.
