5.0 UNTARRING AND BUILDING THE SAMPLE CODE
5.1 Preparing the Linux Environment
Prior to building the Z3 sample code, certain modules are required. In Ubuntu 10.x or later, the
following command can be used to get the required modules:
sudo apt-get install bison flex mtd-utils liblzo2-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev
libpcre3-dev autoconf autoconf-archive automake automake1.9 automake1.9-doc
libtool libtool-doc
In Fedora, the command would be:
sudo yum install bison flex mtd-utils mtd-utils-ubi lzo-devel libuuid-devel
pcre-devel automake automake17 automake14 autoconf libtool
If you are running a 64-bit OS, it may be necessary to install some 32-bit libraries for the cross-
compiling toolchain. You can determine whether your OS is 64-bit by using the “uname –p”
command. A 64-bit OS will return “x86_64,” while a 32-bit OS will return “i386”, “i586”, or “i686”.
For 64-bit Ubuntu, you can get the necessary libraries by typing:
# sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
For 64-bit Fedora, you can type:
# sudo yum install glibc.i686
5.2 Making the Directories and Running the Make Script
The software provided will allow you to re-create the pre-installed software of the Z3-DM8107-SDI-
RPS starting from the included source code.
On a PC running Linux, create a directory where the released materials are going to be located:
# mkdir /home/z3/z3-dm810x
Copy the released tar archive to that directory (note: the name may slightly vary).
# cp SW-4R1-00317-01_DM8107-SDI-RPS-SRC-20141028.tar.bz2 /home/z3/z3-dm810x
Untar the archive (name of tar file may slightly vary):
# tar -xvjf SW-4R2-00317-01_DM8107-SDI-RPS-SRC-20141028.tar.bz2
*Note: Untarring takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Go into the directory just created and run the build script (directory name may slightly vary):
# cd z3-centaurus-dm810x_sdi_rps-20141028
# ./makeall

13
*Note: Building can take around 30-40 minutes. You will also need to type in the sudo password
a few times toward the end of the build.
The outcome of the build process should be newly created image files in the images directory. You
can confirm this by doing the following:
# cd images
# ls -alt
The result should be something like the following. Note that actual filenames, dates, and times will
differ.

6.0 CODE OVERVIEW
6.1 Directory Structure
Once you have untarred the code, you will see the following top-level directories:
build-tools Config files and scripts for building the codebase
dvr-rdk A modified version of the TI RDK code
factory Factory testing scripts (the user can disregard these)
filesys The base filesystem for release
kernels Kernel code for release
sysapps Various supporting applications
toolchain The ARM toolchain for building the codebase
u-boot u-boot code for release
z3apps Z3 sample application code and scripts
The Z3 sample application code that comes with the Z3-DM8107-SDI-RPS is run from the run.sh
script in dvr-rdk/dvr_rdk/bin/ti810x. This code calls the z3_dvr_rdk_demo_mcfw_api.out binary,
which initializes and runs the encoder. This binary is built from the dvr-rdk directory. The code
for the binary resides in z3apps/rdk/rdk_demo. The z3apps/rdk directory is described in more
detail in the next section.
6.1.1 The z3apps/rdk Directory
There are three main subdirectories: rdk_demo, z3_mcfw_api, and z3
*Note: Source code is available for customers that have licensed RPS-SRC. For licensees of RPS,
binaries of the applications are available.
(1) rdk_demo
This directory contains the code for the various modes that Z3’s boards are able to run in. The
encoder setup is done in demo_vcap_vdis.c. The decoder setup is done in demo_vdec_vdis.c. The
pass-through setup is done in demo_vcap_vdis.c.
The file demo_rtptx.c is responsible for setting the output mode of the encoder. Output to file,
RTP, and MPEG2-TS are handled here.

15
The file demo_mcsenc.c contains the implementation of the command line interface. This can be
run using the following command:
# source /opt/mcsenc/mcsenc.sh
(2) z3_mcfw_api
This directory contains a modified version of the TI MCFW API (found in dvr-
rdk/dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_linux/mcfw_api) that is tailored to work with Z3’s hardware and use-cases.
The link setup code for Z3’s sample applications can be found in the use-cases directory. The use-
case code is called from ti_vsys.c in the same directory.
(3) z3
This directory contains the base code for RTP tx and rx, as well as the base code for audio capture
and output.
6.2 Z3 Application Overview
6.2.1 Application Names and Locations
For encode, there are two binaries in the sample code. The first is a menu-based sample
application (this is what comes up in the serial terminal when the board is powered on). The
second is a command line interface that is more flexible and easier to use from a programming
standpoint. The web-based interface uses the command line interface extensively.
The menu-based sample application binary can be found at:
/opt/dvr_rdk/ti816x/bin/z3_dvr_rdk_demo_mcfw_api.out
The command line interface binary can be found at:
/opt/dvr_rdk/ti816x/bin/mcfw_mcsenc
On the decode side, there is a command line interface. The binary for this can be found at:
/opt/dvr_rdk/ti816x/bin/mcfw_mcsdec

6.2.2 Application Options and Arguments
The menu-based sample application uses an .ini file. This .ini file is built in the script run.sh and
stored in /tmp/encode.ini.
Once called with the .ini file, the menu-based sample application presents to the user a menu of
options. Most .ini files are geared towards a specific sample application. The easiest way to get a
valid .ini file is to run the script with the settings you want and then copy the generated .ini out of
/tmp and save it.
The command line interface for the encoder is set up by running:
# source /opt/mcsenc/mcsenc.sh
This will present you with an "=" prompt. You can then enter commands to encode. For example:
= encode instance=1 source=SDI1 dst=rtp://192.168.0.6:5004 size=1280x720
audio=off
This will start encode from SDI1 streaming to 192.168.0.6 at port 5004 scaled to 1280x720. You
can find an example of using this in a script at:
$PRJROOT/dvr-rdk/runz3demo.sh
The command line interface for the decoder is set up by running:
# source /opt/mcsdec/mcsdec.sh
This will present you with an "=" prompt. You can then enter commands to decode. For example:
= decode instance=1 source=rtp://192.168.0.6:5004 audio=on aport=hdmi
This will start decode from RTP from port 192.168.0.6 at port 5004 sending audio to HDMI.
6.2.3 Application Source Code
Application source code is available under a separate license agreement. For customers that have
licensed it, the application source code can be found mainly in:
z3apps/rdk/rdk_demo
The top-level file for the menu-driven application is demo.c. The top-level files for the command
line interfaces are demo_mcsenc.c and demo_mcsdec.c.

7.0 RUNNING THE ENCODER
This section gives step-by-step instructions on taking the Z3-DM8107-SDI-RPS and using it to stream 1080p or
1080i video to VLC running on your PC. In addition to the Z3-DM8107-SDI-RPS, an SDI source (or HDMI source
with an HDMI->SDI converter) and a PC are required.
7.1 Set up the HD Source
(1) Select a video source with SDI output
-Alternately, a video source with HDMI output and an HDMI->SDI converter can be used. In this
case, an HDMI source with non-HDCP output must be used (Z3 uses the Brite-View BV-5005HD for
HDMI testing).
-Power on the video Source
-Connect the source to a monitor
-Select content you would like to stream
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source works. If you are using an HDMI
source, you should move the HDMI cable from the monitor to the HDMI->SDI converter.
7.2 Connect the Board
For these steps, please refer to Figure 5.

(2) Connect the supplied DB9 serial cable to your PC.
(3) Connect the coaxial cable with the SDI input signal to “SDI Input 1”of the Z3-DM8107-APP-10
board.
(4) Connect the Ethernet of the board to either your PC or a hub your PC is connected to.
The next step is to set up a terminal to view the activity of the board.
7.3 Set up the Terminal Window
(5) If you are running from a Windows PC, run TeraTerm. Select “Setup – Serial Port” and set the
following:
Port: The connected serial port
Baud Rate: 115200
Data: 8-bit
Parity: None
Stop: 1-bit
Flow Control: None
(6) If you are running from Linux, type:
# sudo minicom –s
And then configure by doing the following:
-Select “Serial Port Setup”
-Ensure the correct Serial Device is specified (typically “/dev/ttyS0”)
-Set option E (“Bps/Par/Bits”) to 115200 8N1
-Press <return>
-Select “Exit”
