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 web site 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 In-
terface (API) libraries for TAPs from the Topfield web site,

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

or Chapter

8
