The DLP® Discovery™ 4100 (D4100) is the latest in a series of spatial light modulation development kits from Texas 
6
Instruments.  Users of the D4100 Starter Kit have the ability to manipulate visible, ultraviolet and near-infrared light 
7
with extremely high performance and high resolution. 
8
 The D4100 offers developers a flexible platform to design products to fit most any application using the proven 
9
reliability of DLP technology.

LED9 - DDC_LED0 Status LED for the DDC4000
40 13 Frédéric Blanc
The LED0 signal is typically connected
41
to an LED to show that the DLPC410
42
is operating normally.
43
The signal is 1 Hz with 50% duty cycle,
44
otherwise known as the heartbeat
45 12 Frédéric Blanc
LED10 - DDC_LED1 Status LED for the DDC4000
46 13 Frédéric Blanc
The LED1 signal is typically connected to an LED
47
indicator to show the status of system initialization
48
and the status of the clock circuits. The LED1 signal
49
is asserted only when system initialization is 
50
complete and clock circuits are initialized. Logically,
51
these signals are ANDed together to show an indication
52
of the health of the system. If the Phase Locked 
53
Loop (PLL) connected to the data clock and the DMD
54
clock are functioning correctly after system
55
initialization, the LED will be illuminated

128 17 Frédéric Blanc
129
The USB EEPROM does not have any code only VID/PID data.  Here is a sequence of USB initialization:    
130
131
    When a board is plugged in by USB the Windows D4100 USB driver sees the unprogrammed TI VID/PID.  (The Windows D4100 USB driver is installed with the Explorer software.)
132
    Then it loads a program directly into the Cypress USB (not the EEPROM) and runs it.  (This loads the firmware through USB)
133
    This sets the Cypress VID/PID to show that the part is programmed and allows communication with the Board.
134
135
This is only the first part.  To communicate with the DMD a different APPS_FPGA program (D4100_GUI_FPGA.bin) must be loaded that can communicate with the Cypress USB.
136
137
When the D4100 Explorer is started it checks to see if D4100_GUI_FPGA.bin is loaded in the FPGA and programs the FPGA if it not.
138
139
This program can also be loaded by invoking the DLL function directly from another program (see the API Programmer’s Guide)
140
141
Once loaded then the other API DLL functions can be used to load and reset image data.

*If you have one of the ViALUX ALP versions you will need to contact them concerning this since their software uses proprietary communication protocols with the D4100.*
