    LiteOS Cortex-A

    Introduction

    The OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A is a new-generation kernel developed based on the Huawei LiteOS kernel. Huawei LiteOS is a lightweight operating system (OS) built for the Internet of Things (IoT) field. With the rapid development of the IoT industry, OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A brings small-sized, low-power, and high-performance experience and builds a unified and open ecosystem for developers. In addition, it provides rich kernel mechanisms, more comprehensive Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), and a unified driver framework, Hardware Driver Foundation (HDF), which offers unified access for device developers and friendly development experience for application developers. Figure 1 shows the architecture of the OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A kernel.

    Constraints

    • Programming languages: C and C++
    • Applicable development boards: Hi3518E V300 and Hi3516D V300
    • Hi3518E V300 uses the JFFS2 file system by default, and Hi3516D V300 uses the FAT file system by default.

    Usage

    OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A supports the Hi3518E V300 and Hi3516D V300. You can develop and run your applications based on both development boards.

    Preparations

    You need to set up the compilation environment on Linux.

    Source Code Acquisition

    Download and decompress a set of source code on a Linux server to acquire the source code. For more acquisition methods, see Source Code Acquisition.

    Compilation and Building
