Topfield Application Program

If you are good at programming with C++ language, you can make a program executable in the digital receiver. We call this Topfield Application Program (TAP). In making a TAP, it is recommended to use Diab compiler of Wind River, whose web site address is http://www.windriver.com. Some vari- ants of GCC compiler also might perhaps 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 ex- tension 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 § 7.7.

To run a TAP in the digital receiver, perform the following steps:
