2 Introduction
2.1 Overview

This document describes the software components released in STAPI_SDK.

The STAPI_SDK provides a unified software development platform for multiple STB devices and OS’s.
Software stack broadly includes a set of low level STAPI drivers and an application layer. Application layer is
targeted to validate the low level driver features, to demonstrate the device capability against the requirements
and to provide an easy reference for customer middleware porting and application development. The
Application layer also supports an in-built diagnostic unit for test and system debug. It offers a set of high level
re-usable services which can be used internally for good demo preparation or externally by the customer for
end application development.

The tree has the following structure:

apilib/ contains all the STAPI drivers

bin/ contains setenv config file + tools (make/bintoc....)
stapp/ contains all the initialization and setup of the STAPI drivers
stdebug/ contains all the testtool interactive commands
modules/extended_modules/ contains test application for 2D grafix

use 18 Bit ECC which needs to be changed in the file include/configs/bxxxx.h i.e. the flag
CFG_ST40_NAND_USE_BCH_18_BIT_ECC needs to be enabled.

• For boot from Flash on B2064, B2067, B2141, the following jumper configuration must be respected :

NAND NAND NAND SPI
Jumper NO ECC (18) (30) NOR Signal
------ ----- ---- ---- --- ------

8.2 Software

• H207 (Liege)
 Default memory configuration for H207 is 512 MB with 32 bit DDR.

NOTE1: Please Note that on top of these base kernel, you also need to apply
SOC/ platform specific patches available in /bin/Patches/linux/ repository in
the SDK release package where ever applicable.
NOTE2: Please Note that starting from SDK-34, the default tool support across
all SOC has been migrated to STLINUX2.4 and Multicom4. However the backward
compatibility support for multicom3.2.3P2 is ensured and minimally tested at
system level.

 STAPI_SDK Release Notes

9.1 Installing stapi linux LDDE

1. Download the ISO image specific to the version of STLinux you wish to use from
ftp://ftp.stlinux.com/pub/stlinux/2.4/iso and save it to an appropriate local directory.

2. Install STLinux directly from the ISO image with the following commands:

– for STLinux version 2.4:

host# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
host# mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 -r STLinux-2.4.sh4-20121121.iso /mnt/cdrom

3. Install the profile that you want by giving it as a parameter to the install script. For example,
the following command installs all the packages for the ST40 architecture and glibc toolchain.
host#./install all-sh4-glibc
To install the uclib toolchain in place of glibc, use the following command:
host#./install all-sh4-uclibc

4. Enter the docs directory

host# cd stapisdk/docs/

5. Install the rpms using the stmyum

host# cat glibc_ldde_versions_v6.1.txt | xargs stmyum install (for gclibc)

Or host# cat uclibc_ldde_versions_v6.1.txt | | xargs stmyum install (for uclibc)

Pl. follow the same procedure for installing the 3.x iso image available at the above mentioned ftp. For this use
the following ldde version lists:

glibc_ldde_versions_v8.0.txt
uclibc_ldde_versions_v8.0.txt

STAPI_SDK Release Notes

9.3 Installing STAPI SDK Package

 Only free version of video and audio codecs is included with the default SDK package (<SDKROOT>/
stapp/mbx/audio/freecodec/<multicom>/<29/32>/*). To activate the support of all other licensed audio
and video codecs, a request should be made through your local ST FAE. Once the binary is made
available, copy audio codec binary in to the folder <SDKROOT>/
stapp/mbx/audio/fullcodec/<multicom>/<29/32>/*. And video codec binary into the folder
<SDKROOT>/stapp/ mbx/video/<multicom>/<29/32>/*.

 Please refer docs\Application_Notes\GFX2D-Appnote.pdf for running GFX-2D use case.

 While installing STAPI_SDK from scratch for Linux the rootfs has some permission that needs to be
changed in order to be able to write into it to copy the stapi modules or to install .so libraries. The
following operation must be performed to overcome this
For native SDK
sudo chmod a+rwx /opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/root
sudo chmod a+rwx /opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/usr/local/lib

For ST2FX (when DVD_GFX2D=1)

sudo chmod a+rwx /opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/usr/include
sudo chmod a+rwx /opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/usr/lib

 Flash support on Linux is through U-boot v54 and onward. Please use following commands
export UBOOTDIR=<path to the uboot directory> (in setenv.sh)
make purge_uboot (To clean the uboot stack)
make uboot (To compile the uboot)
make run_uboot (To run the uboot application)

Please ensure your board is connected and all runtime parameters are correctly set before running
above commands

 16bit DDR support for class-2 device is available. For details please refer to docs/
application_notes/G2_16BitDDR_AppNote_v0.2.pdf

 STAPP supports 16 channels PCM mixing, but depends on system resource availability. Single
Memory injection without SRC (48 KHz Audio sample rate, Mixer output also 48 KHz) takes approx
40MHz LX Bus Bandwidth.

 Following command sequence needs to be followed to enable Dual TV support on Liege

AUD_CONFIGCHAIN 0 0 +17 1
PLAY_SETCONNECTION "0" 0 2 0
Start AV decode on main
PLAY_SETCONNECTION "0" 1 2 0
Start AV decode on remote TV (AUX)

 Mosaic support available for H207 (1HD H264 + 6 CIF MPEG2/H264). To play mosaic file use
play_start as shown in example below

For H264 CIF:

PLAY_START 1 "0" "NULL" P_H264|V_MOSAIC|V_CIF <video Pid> P_PCR <PCR Pid> P_END P_VIRTUAL0

For MPEG CIF

PLAY_START 1 "0" "NULL" P_MPEG|V_MOSAIC|V_CIF <video Pid> P_PCR <PCR Pid> P_END P_VIRTUAL0

For Mosaic opening and enabling

MOSAIC_OPEN 0 0 +<number of play instance (should be <=6) > <instances value>
Ex:
MOSAIC_OPEN 0 0 +6 0 1 2 3 4 5

Page 19 of 41
 STAPI_SDK Release Notes

MOSAIC_ENABLE
GFX_EN

 Set ST2FX_DFB_HANDLE_VIDEO_LAYER=1 to activate the ECR_127: Add video plane to

DirectFB

 Please refer to WIFI_AppNote.doc available under docs/Application_Notes For “WIFI streaming

playback support on Leige platforms via RealTek USB dongle"

 For running the splash screen, pl. follow the below mentioned steps:
Compilation process is unchanged & same but there are 2 differences while launching the target
board with splash logo

 Pass “splash” as an argument while loading modules

e.g. source modules/load_modules.sh splash
 Pass “splash” as an argument while running main output file
e.g. ./main_b2057_h207_ST40_LINUX_32BITS.out splash

 Pl. note that STiS237 (Cardiff SD) is supported in the package. The following features are currently
supported in this release:
 Main mixer (Component), main-to-denc (CVBS) is supported.
 Capable of HD+SD decode but SD display only
 No HDMI, No 3DTV, No PIP, No Dual TV, No Mosaic is supported

 Pl. note that SDK-43.2 was the last release to Support STi7105.
 Pl. note that SDK-44.0 was the last release for all the legacy devices like 7111/7141/7108/5197 etc.
 Pl. note 2D grafix test application provided in the modules/extended_modules can be compiled using
the below settings. Source the env with these variables either through setenv.sh (correspondingly
setenv.bat) or directly in the shell.
 Pl. note 2D grafix test application provided in the modules/extended_modules can be compiled using
the below settings. Source the env with these variables either through setenv.sh (correspondingly
setenv.bat) or directly in the shell.
export MODULES=1
export MODULEROOT=$STSDKROOT/modules/extended_modules

then Use commands

Make purge_all apilib modules all

 Pl. note that in CPS Standby Mode, an inconsistent behaviour is observed when usb connected which
includes software operations like wakeup from standby & usb detection
 Pl. note that, for ECR 359 the Linux support on Cardiff is not available in the package. This is
available in add on patch available on top of SDK-44.1 release. Pl. contact your local ST FAE to get
the patch.
