IEC EN 62516-3 Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) Receivers - Part 3: Common API

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62516-3 testing. IEC EN 62516-3 describes the T-DMB common application program interface (API). Combined with T-DMB O/S it provides a software platform that creates a universal interface for application programs.

This interface allows application programs to be written to run on any T-DMB receiver unit as described in IEC EN 62516-1 and IEC EN 62516-2, regardless of manufacturer. It also defines a software environment that allows multiple application programs to work together on a single receiver unit by sharing the fixed resources of the receiver, and provides a set of interfaces used by T-DMB middleware and ASIC-specific software.

The host processor block represents the T-DMB functionality provided by the host processor in a T-DMB-based device. In other words, this represents the main processor hardware and the software application located on the main processor. The host processor block receives and processes T-DMB information obtained from the T-DMB receiver ASIC block.

Received TDMB information consists of multiplex configuration information received on the fast information channel (FIC) and content received on the main service channel. This block communicates with the T-DMB receiver ASIC block to receive the information received from the T-DMB signal. The host processor block consists of the following functional sub-blocks.

The hardware interface block represents the hardware interface mechanism that exists between the host processor block and the T-DMB receiver ASIC block. This interface provides communication and data exchange functionality. The T-DMB driver subblock uses this block to exchange commands and data with the T-DMB receiver ASIC block. The hardware interface block can be any desired interface, such as a proprietary bus interface or a standards-based interface.
