Paradiso SDK
Mobile TV drivers and adaptation layer for host processors running Paradiso systems

Paradiso comes complete with a comprehensive multistandard SDK encompasing three main levels:

• The chip’s embedded firmware (Pacino). This software manages the real-time control of DVB-H or T-DMB demodulation,
• DeNiro: application software to run on the host processor, the subject of this document,
• Brando: higher-level application software, also for the host processor, running on top of DeNiro, which provides a simplified interface for applications.

Systems can be built using Paradiso with either DeNiro on its own, or DeNiro plus Brando. Using Brando significantly simplifies system development.

DeNiro provides a control and data interface for host processors to access Paradiso’s embedded software via the MDTV API, and presents the following interfaces to system integrators:

• Control, for example to boot Paradiso or tune Paradiso to a particular channel.
• Data, for example reception of mobile TV data
  • for T-DMB: MPEG2-TS,
  • for DVB-H: IP datagrams and PSI/SI tables,
• Asynchronous events, for example Paradiso exceptions and the results of control messages.
