 **NOTE**<br>Due to the limitation of the image size, the full build for the debug version may fail to be burnt. You are advised to build the binary file for each module separately. Run the following command to build a module separately:
-v, --verbose show all command lines while building
-shs, --sign_haps_by_server
sign haps by server
--patch apply product patch before compiling
--compact-mode compatible with standard build system set to false if we use build.sh as build entrance
--gn-args GN_ARGS specifies gn build arguments, eg: --gn-args="foo="bar" enable=true blah=7"
--keep-ninja-going keeps ninja going until 1000000 jobs fail
--build-only-gn only do gn parse, donot run ninja
--log-level LOG_LEVEL
specifies the log level during compilationyou can select three levels: debug, info and error
--fast-rebuild it will skip prepare, preloader, gn_gen steps so we can enable it only when there is no change
for gn related script
--device-type DEVICE_TYPE
specifies device type
--build-variant BUILD_VARIANT
specifies device operating mode
```
- If you run **hb build** with no argument, the previously configured code directory, product, and options are used for the build. The **-f** option deletes all products to be built. It is equivalent to running **hb clean** and **hb build**.
- You can run **hb build***{component_name}* to build product components separately based on the development board and kernel set for the product, for example, **hb build kv_store**.
- You can run **hb build -p ipcamera@hisilicon** to skip the setting step and build the product directly.
- You can run **hb build** in **device/board/device_company** to select the kernel and build an image that contains the kernel and drivers only based on the current development board and the selected kernel.
**hb clean**
Deletes all the files except **args.gn** and **build.log** in the **out** directory (default). To clear files in a specified directory, add the directory parameter to the command, for example, **hb clean out/board/product**.
```shell
hb clean
usage: hb clean [-h][out_path]
positional arguments:
out_path clean a specified path.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
```
--build-variant=BUILD_VARIANT #Specify the device operation mode. The default value is user.
```
2. Using the hb tool
**hb** is an OpenHarmony command line tool for executing build commands. Common hb commands are described as follows:
**hb set**
Sets the product to build.
```shell
hb set -h
usage: hb set [-h] [-root [ROOT_PATH]] [-p]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-root [ROOT_PATH], --root_path [ROOT_PATH]
Set OHOS root path
-p, --product Set OHOS board and kernel
```
- If you run **hb set** with no argument, the default setting process starts.
- You can run **hb set -root** *dir* to set the root directory of the source code.
- You can run **hb set -p** to set the product to build.
-v, --verbose show all command lines while building
-shs, --sign_haps_by_server
sign haps by server
--patch apply product patch before compiling
--compact-mode compatible with standard build system set to false if we use build.sh as build entrance
--gn-args GN_ARGS specifies gn build arguments, eg: --gn-args="foo="bar" enable=true blah=7"
--keep-ninja-going keeps ninja going until 1000000 jobs fail
--build-only-gn only do gn parse, donot run ninja
--log-level LOG_LEVEL

--device-type DEVICE_TYPE

**hb clean**
Deletes all the files except **args.gn** and **build.log** in the **out** directory (default). To clear files in a specified directory, add the directory parameter to the command, for example, **hb clean out/board/product**.
