The advent of the Digital TV brings many advantages, such as image and sound improvement and interactivity support. A Digital TV system defines codification and transmission techniques for content to be transmitted from broadcasters to receiver devices belonging to viewers. An important element defined for such systems is the middleware. In the Digital TV context, the middleware provides a programming language to be used on the creation of interactive applications. The middleware specified by the Sistema Brasileiro de TV Digital (SBTVD), known as Ginga, is composed by two environments: one declarative, the Ginga-NCL, and another imperative, the Ginga-J. Only Ginga- NCL is mandatory in portable devices. Among the advantages of Ginga-NCL, stands out the fact of its language, the NCL, has a set of characteristics that are suitable for creation of interactive television content. However, it is important to make a Ginga-NCL reference implementation that can be used as proof of concept of the specification, which shows its use viability in practice. This work presents the first Ginga-NCL reference implementation for portable devices, based upon its reference implementation for fixed terminals. Among the studied platforms, the one provided by Symbian operating system was chosen to carry out the proposed implementation, since it has the greatest benefits. The problems found during the development of the proposed implementation are presented together with the solutions given. At the end, systemic tests were used on the identification and correction of errors of the implementation resulted from this work.
