Topfield Application Program
If you are good at programming with C++ language, you
can make a program executable 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 compiler for TAPs. You can get the Application program
Interface (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 exten-
sion name, they will be ignored.
•
They are in the Program Files folder. If they are in other
folders, they will be ignored.
For how to transfer your program to the digital receiver, refer
to § 7.6.
