碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工程科學系碩博士班 === 98 === As the technologies of digital TV get more advanced, more and more users now can enjoy 3G streaming service or DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) on their mobile devices without the constraints of limited space. Thus they can watch digital TV channels anytime and anywhere, which changes the way people watch traditional TV. Although hardware platforms are capable of many developments in various aspects, most developments of software still need to rewrite according to their hardware platforms. In this way, the process not only makes software lack of portability but also spends more time, which wastes the precious resources. With the release of the source codes of Android OS by Google, many manufactures and software communities get the chances to do deeper research in this OS. Moreover, they can develop on many platforms with Android’s rich software stacks and reduce their cost during the development process. However, when it comes to the part of multimedia, current supported formats in Android are MPEG-4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR and other multimedia formats, but there is still no mobile digital TV service available. This thesis is based on ITRI PAC Duo SoC heterogeneous multi-core platform. We port Android to this platform and design a DTV receiving component for DVB-T format on OpenCORE multimedia framework and implement it according to our design.
