The purpose of this document is to define the testing methods and acceptance criteria for the Z3-DM8168-

APP-41 board and the basic system operation when the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board is paired with a Z3-

DM8168-MOD-34 processor module.

2Definition of terms

This document contains references to several terms as follows:

Z3-DM8168-APP-41:

This is the application board containing two HDMI input interfaces, one HDMI output interfaces and all

the I/O connectors. The Z3-DM8168-MOD-34 CPU module plugs into this board.

Although this document refers to the board as Z3-DM8168-APP-41, the actual part number might differ.

Specifically, the “1” digit of the “-41” suffix indicates a PCB revision which is prone to change.

Z3-DM8168-MOD-34:

This is the Z3 standard module based on the DM8168 processor, without I/O jacks onboard. As with the

Z3-DM8168-APP-41, although the document refers to the module by the Z3-DM8168-MOD-34 name,

the exact part number may change.

Test terms:

The sections describing the acceptance test contain a bulleted list of actions to be performed by the tester:

Verify: means that the tester should check to verify that the actual result is consistent with the

expectations. If the result is consistent, then the test is successful. Otherwise the test fails.

Check: is used to ask the tester to determine the state or condition of something. The result of the check is

used to make decisions about test procedure. It does not determine pass/fail status.

Other keywords are instructing the tester to follow procedure.

User

A PC computer is used to provide the serial console terminal necessary to control the Z3 system. The

recommended terminal program is Teraterm, a terminal emulation application that is freely available on the

Internet. Teraterm can be downloaded from http://www.tucows.com/preview/195282.

The PC computer is also used to run VLC, a freely available streaming media player. VLC can be downloaded

from http://www.videolan.org/.

The PC computer must be fast enough so that VLC can decode H.264 video at 1080p60 and keep up with real

time.

The tests require a video player to source video to the HDMI inputs. Since the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board

does not accept HDCP encrypted content, the user must ensure that the video player does not use HDCP

encryption. Usually Blu-Ray players will always enable HDCP on their HDMI output, so Blu-Ray players are

not suitable sources.An example of video source without HDCP encryption is the Zinwell ZIN-5005HD.

You can get one of these players from Amazon.com.

Please use a 3.5” SATA hard disk drive with a SATA-II or SATA-III interface, formatted with a VFAT or EXT3

partition. Make sure to use a power supply capable to support the power usage of the drive.

It is necessary to use good quality HDMI cables, rated for 1080p60 operation. Inferior cables can introduce too

much degradation and cause the HDMI connection to not function properly or not at all.

3.2 Basic setup

The initial setup consists of locating all necessary components, loading the required software into the PC

computer and connecting the system.

If not already done, install VLC on the Windows PC. Copy the “multi_video_audio_ulaw_16000_1ch.sdp” file

provided to the desktop or some other easily accessible folder. Start VLC and open a video file to make sure

that VLC is installed correctly and is capable of decoding video files. Stop VLC but leave it open.

Configure the Teraterm serial port parameters to 115200 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Connect the serial

port cable from the 2.5mm console jack on the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board to the serial port of the PC, using

the null modem adapter if necessary. Connect the power supply to the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board and verify

that the computer displays the boot sequence. This proves that Teraterm is configured properly and it is

working. Unplug the power supply.

Configure the Windows PC to use a static IP address of 192.168.1.111 with netmask 255.255.0.0. The gateway

and DNS entries are not important and can be left blank.

Connect one HDMI cable between the video player and the video monitor. Set the video player to play a video

clip in a loop, with the resolution of 1080p60. Make sure that the video is playing correctly on the monitor.

Disconnect the HDMI cable from the video player and connect it to the HDMI video output jack of the Z3-

DM8168-APP-41 board.

The H.264 decoder and HDMI output test requires that the file “dectest.h264” be placed in the root directory

of the USB mass storage device. Please copy the file to the device prior to starting the tests.

Ensure that the boot jumpers on the Z3-DM8168-MOD-34 are set for NAND boot. Please consult the

module’s hardware specification for instructions on how to set the boot jumpers.
