3. How to configurate the template head file?

Template file is a important file, it defines the structures node of program, TP and satellite. it should
used match with database file of SDK.

Sometimes, the structure node of program of SDK may be modified, then the template head file may be
modified too, otherwise, the data of node may be mussy(especial the service name).
Following steps show how to modify the template head file to match the SDK:
In source code of SDK: function common_pnode_unpack() of db_plugin_S.c, debug or print out the
parameter m_fixed_part_offset_length, for example: We get the print out value of
m_fixed_part_offset_length = 21.
In AliEditor, show the “fixed part number length”, for example, the length is 23

ALiEditor User Manual 11


Because m_fixed_part_offset_length of SDK is defferent with “fixed part number length” of template,
we should adjuste the structure of template head files,
Let m_fixed_part_offset_length = “fixed part number length”
Open template head file, find the structure program, adjust the size of member reserve_bytes[]. When
increase the size of reserve_bytes[], “fixed part number length” will increase too; when decrease the
size of reserve_bytes[], “fixed part number length” will decrease too. Adjust it, then in AliEditor, show
the “fixed part number length”,
Let m_fixed_part_offset_length = “fixed part number length”

Finish adjust reserve_bytes[], if download the “ddf” or “udf” to platform, the program name or other
information of program are still mussy, it may there still some difference between alieditor and SDK.
for example:
In source code of SDK: function common_pnode_unpack() of db_plugin_S.c:

the MACRO are defined, so p_node->audio_type may be stored in database; but in template file:

the audio_type[20] is disabled, so when the “ddf” of “udf” of alieditor burn in to platform, the program
name will be mussy. Enable audio_type[20] in template head file, it may be OK.
