2. Description
The STDP2650 is MegaChips’ latest generation DisplayPort converter series product that features a
DisplayPort1.2 compliant receiver and an HDMI1.4 compliant transmitter, capable of handling high
resolution video up to 4K2K 30Hz / FHD120Hz and audio up to 7.1CH.
The STDP2650 RD3 board is intended for the product evaluation and testing. The board contains a standard
DP input connector, a standard HDMI output connector, and a micro USB connector for powering. It also
includes an SPI flash for storing the firmware, a UART connector for debugging and in-system programming
purpose (firmware download), and an I2C slave interface to configure the device from an external host
controller (optional).

2.2. Set up instructions
The picture below is a typical connection diagram showing a notebook with DisplayPort output driving a
TV/monitor using an STDP2650 RD board.
1.
Connect the DP output from the notebook to the DP input of the STDP2650 RD board using a
standard DP cable.
B0642-GUD-01
MegaChips’ Proprietary Information – Strictly Confidential

2.
Connect the HDMI output of the STDP2650 RD board to the HDMI input of the TV or the LCD
monitor.
3.
Power up the RD board by plugging in the micro USB cable (supplied with board) from an
external USB source (ex: one of the USB ports from the notebook).
4.
Use an HDMI TV or monitor that has audio output for testing the audio conversion through the
STDP2650 RD board as well.
5.
Once the connection is established and the board is powered, an image should appear on the
screen within 2-3 seconds.

2.3. Diagnosis
If the image does not come up, follow the steps below for diagnosis.
Note: The diagnosis requires MegaChips GProbe software and hardware tool. Contact MegaChips for the
GProbe software and board.
1.
Install the GProbe diagnostic tool on a Windows OS based PC/NB and set the baud rate to
115,200.
2.
Connect the GProbe board to the serial port (or USB port if using the USB version of the GProbe
board) of the computer.
3.
Connect the other end of the GProbe board to the UART connector (CN502) on the STDP2650
RD board using 4-wire cable (part of the GProbe board).
Note: Check the polarity while connecting the cable; Pin 1 is marked on the board. The 4-wire cable
connection from CN502 to the GProbe board is 1 to 1.
4.
Hit the reset button on the board (RESET SW501). You will see the firmware version and the
date of the firmware in the GProbe window. This indicates that the DP Receiver IC is functional.
If the message does not appear, reprogram the SPI Flash using the ISP method described in the
GProbe user guide.

5.
Using an oscilloscope, check the video input and output from the STDP2650 RD board.
Note: Refer to the STDP2650 datasheet for pin-out descriptions.
2.3.1. In-System Programming (ISP)
The STDP2650 RD board uses SPI Flash to store the firmware. For new firmware upgrade, following method
is recommended.
ISP through UART connector: Allows programming of the SPI Flash through the UART (CN502) connector.
This requires GProbe board and GProbe software tool from MegaChips. Also contact MegaChips for the
latest binary file.
