    Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS V2.00.00 1. General Description The Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS is a development system that allows dual encode and single decode of 1080p60 video on media-centric PCI Express applications. The hardware consists of one Z3-DM816X-MOD-3X System on Module card with one Z3-DM8168-APP-41 PCI Express application board. The software consists of Linux kernel and application packages to allow users to develop their own advanced multimedia, graphics and DSP applications.

    ). This board allows the user to power the board using the standard 12V power Figure 3 supply shipped with the Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS. It connects to the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board using a 6-pin connector located at J25 ( ). To attach, carefully insert the connector into the pins, applying even Figure 4 pressure until the connector is even with the socket at J25.

  • Page 12: Code Overview

    Z3 demo application code and scripts The Z3 demo code that comes with the Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS is run from the run.sh script in dvr- rdk/dvr_rdk/bin/ti816x . 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.

    Therefore, the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board can fit into a slot with 4, 8, or 16 lanes. The Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS board set can also operate as 1 1-lane PCIe device. This means that if the mechanical restrictions of inserting a big board into a small slot did not exist, it would also work. Since this is a generic situation, some motherboard vendors have included PCIe slots that have their backs open to allow the insertion of board with more lanes than the connector.

    Z3-DM816X-PCI2-RPS V2.00.00 motherboard. Z3 Technology recommends that development with the DM816X-PC2I-RPS be done on an Asus P8H67-MPRO motherboard. The BIOS on this system has been verified to perform correctly. The systems with “bad BIOS” tend to work correctly when the add-in card is plugged into the 1-lane slot, when present.
