  • Page 4: General Description

    An example application board, Z3-DM8168-APP-11, is available from Z3 Technology and is included with the Z3-DM8168-DVR-RPS system. This application board uses the I/O expansion capability of the Z3- DM816x-MODto implement additional functions not present in the base module. The Z3-DM8168-APP-11 application board has two 16-channel DB25 inputs (J6 = video/BNC, J7 = audio/RCA), one DB9 serial output, one HDMI output, and one SD card slot.

    Whether the end application requires encode or decode media from storage or streaming, the readily available, production-ready Z3-DM816x-MOD will simplify the overall system design, reducing time to market and costs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 U.S.A. ♦ +1.402.323.0702...

  • Page 7: Thermal Considerations

    The maximum continuous power consumption by the whole DM8168-MOD system during normal operation should be less than 18W, with up to 12W dissipated by the main processor. Please plan the cooling strategy appropriately. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 U.S.A. ♦ +1.402.323.0702...

  • Page 12: Configuring The Target For Your Own Development Environment

    CONFIGURING THE TARGET FOR YOUR OWN DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT The best way to develop for the Z3-DM8168-DVR-RPS system is to use the HDD of a Linux PC to serve as the root file system for the target. It is also productive to allow the DM8168 system to fetch the Linux kernel from the PC using the network, so all the software that is being run by the DM8168 is in effect coming from the PC.

  • Page 18: Nand Recovery Procedure

    Once the flash is programmed, the module can be subject to further functional tests. Such tests can be run from a USB memory stick plugged into one of the module’s USB ports or by connecting the manufacturing jumper option. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 U.S.A. ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
  • Page 19 (7) If the test is successful, then remove the manufacturing jumper (if one was used) and the module is good for shipping. Otherwise, troubleshoot the module or the process. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Z3 Technology, LLC ♦ 100 N 8 ST, STE 250 ♦ Lincoln, NE 68508-1369 U.S.A. ♦ +1.402.323.0702...
