    LiteOS-M Kernel

    Introduction

    OpenHarmony LiteOS-M is a lightweight operating system kernel designed for the Internet of Things (IoT) field. It features small footprint, low power consumption, and high performance. It has a simple code structure, including the minimum kernel function set, kernel abstraction layer, optional components, and project directory. The LiteOS-M kernel is divided into the hardware layer and hardware-irrelevant layers. The hardware layer provides a unified hardware abstraction layer (HAL) interface for easier hardware adaptation. A range of compilation toolchains can be used with different chip architectures to meet the expansion of diversified hardware and compilation toolchains in the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) field. Figure1 shows the architecture of the LiteOS-M kernel.

    Constraints

    OpenHarmony LiteOS-M supports only C and C++.

    Applicable architecture: See the directory structure for the arch layer.

    As for dynamic loading module, the shared library to be loaded needs signature verification or source restriction to ensure security.

    Usage

    The OpenHarmony LiteOS-M kernel build system is a modular build system based on Generate Ninja (GN) and Ninja. It supports module-based configuration, tailoring, and assembling, and helps you build custom products. This document describes how to build a LiteOS-M project based on GN and Ninja. For details about the methods such as GCC+gn, IAR, and Keil MDK, visit the community websites.

    Setting Up the Environment

    Before setting up the environment for a development board, you must set up the basic system environment for OpenHarmony first. The basic system environment includes the OpenHarmony build environment and development environment. For details, see Setting Up Development Environment.

    Obtaining the OpenHarmony Source Code

    For details about how to obtain the source code, see Source Code Acquisition. This document assumes that the clone directory is ~/openHarmony after the complete OpenHarmony repository code is obtained.

    Example projects

    Qemu simulator: arm_mps2_an386、esp32、riscv32_virt、SmartL_E802. For details about how to compile and run, see qemu guide.

    Bestechnic: bes2600. For details about how to compile and run, see Bestechnic developer guide.

    Community Porting Project Links

    The LiteOS-M kernel porting projects for specific development boards are provided by community developers. The following provides the links to these projects. If you have porting projects for more development boards, you can provide your links to share your projects.
