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,
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.
