Topfield Application Program
If you are good at programming with
C
language, you can
make an executable program to run on the digital receiver.
We call this a Topfield Application program (TAP). In mak-
ing a TAP, it is recommended to use
Diab
compiler of
Wind
River
, whose website address is
http://www.windriver.com
.
Some variants of
gcc
compiler also might be available as a com-
piler for TAPs. You can get the Application program Inter-
face (API) libraries for TAPs from the Topfield website,
http:
//www.i-topfield.com
.
Your TAPs will be run under the following conditions:
• Their extension name is
tap
. If they have any other ex-
tension name, they will be ignored.
• They are in the
Program Files
folder. If they are in other
folders, they will be ignored.
As to how to transfer your program to the digital receiver, refer
to §
7.7
.
