The OpenHarmony Compilation and Building subsystem provides a build framework based on Generate Ninja (GN) and Ninja. It abstracts the build and configuration granularity by component, and provides function enhancement for built-in modules and function extension for service modules. The OpenHarmony Compilation and Building subsystem provides the following functions:
- Allows products to be assembled and independently built by component.
- Supports version builds for mini, small, and standard systems and build of the software development kit (SDK), which facilitates application developers to use the Integrated development environment (IDE).
- Supports customization and independent build based on different chipset solutions.
### Application Scope
This guide is applicable to mini, small, and standard systems. The [Chipset Solution](subsys-build-chip_solution.md) applies to mini and small systems.
### Basic Concepts
Learn the following basic concepts before you get started:
- Platform
A platform consists of a development board and the kernel. The subsystems and components vary with the platform.
- Product
A product is a collection of components. The product image built can run on different development boards.
- Subsystem
OpenHarmony is designed with a layered architecture, which consists of the kernel layer, system service layer, framework layer, and application layer from bottom up. For details, see [OpenHarmony Technical Architecture](https://gitee.com/openharmony#technical-architecture). System functions are built from components, subsystems, and then to the system. In a multi-device deployment, you can customize subsystems and components as required. A subsystem, as a logical concept, consists of the least required components.
- Component
A component is a reusable software binary unit that contains source code, configuration files, resource files, and build scripts. It can be built independently, integrated in binary mode, and tested independently. The chipset solution mentioned in this guide is a special component in nature.
- Module
A module is a target to build. A component can also be a target to build.
- Feature
A component can provide differentiated functions through features.
- GN
GN is used to build Ninja files.
- Ninja
Ninja is a small high-speed building system.
- hb
hb is an OpenHarmony command line tool used to execute build commands.
The Compilation and Build subsystem implements compilation and packaging through configuration. The following describes the relationships between the product, subsystem, component, and module.
**Figure 1** Relationships between product, subsystem, component, and module
# The following modules must be installed for Python. You can obtain the **repo** file from the source code of the build environment mentioned in **Constraints**.
#Install LLVM, hc-gen, gcc_riscv32, Ninja, node-v14.15.4-linux-x64, and GN. If the shell in use is not bash or zsh, configure the following environment variables:
**NOTE**<br>The hb tool will be installed during the installation of ohos-build. If the hb installation fails, see [Installing hb](../../device-dev/quick-start/quickstart-lite-env-setup.md#installing-hb).
## Configuration Rules
To ensure that chipset and product solutions are decoupled from OpenHarmony, you need to follow certain rules during the configuration.
-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. To clear files in a specified directory, add the directory parameter to the command, for example, **hb clean out/board/product**. By default, the files in the **out** directory are cleared.
```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
```

-[Parameters for Accelerating Local Build](subsys-build-reference.md#parameters-for-accelerating-local-build)
- The chipset solution is a special component. It is built based on a development board, including the drivers, device API adaptation, and SDK.
- The source code path is named in the **device/{Development board}/{Chipset solution vendor}** format.
- The chipset solution component is built by default based on the development board selected.
- The chipset solution directory structure is as follows:
```shell
device
└── board
└── company # Chipset solution vendor
└── hispark_aries # Developement board name
├── BUILD.gn # Build script
├── hals # OS device API adaptation
├── linux # (Optional) Linux kernel version
│ └── config.gni # Linux build configuration
└── liteos_a # (Optional) LiteOS kernel version
└── config.gni # LiteOS_A build configuration
```
**NOTE**<br>The **config.gni** file contains the configuration related to the build of the development board. The parameters in this file are used to compile all OS components and are globally visible during the build process.
- The **config.gni** file contains the following key parameters:
```shell
kernel_type: Kernel used by the development board, for example, LiteOS_A, LiteOS_M, or Linux.
kernel_version: Kernel version of the development board, for example, 4.19.
board_cpu: CPU of the development board, for example, Cortex-A7 or RISCV32.
board_arch: Chipset architecture of the development board, for example, ARMv7-A or RV32IMAC.
board_toolchain: Name of the customized build toolchain used by the development board, for example, gcc-arm-none-eabi. If this field is not specified, ohos-clang will be used by default.
board_toolchain_prefix: Prefix of the toolchain, for example, gcc-arm-none-eabi.
board_toolchain_type: Toolchain type. Currently, only GCC and clang are supported.
board_cflags: Build options of the .c file configured for the development board.
board_cxx_flags: Build options of the .cpp file configured for the development board.
board_ld_flags: Linking options configured for the development board.
```
### Adding and Building a Chipset Solution
The following uses the RTL8720 development board provided by Realtek as an example. The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a directory for the chipset solution.<br> Run the following command in the root code directory:
```shell
mkdir-p device/board/realtek/rtl8720
```
2. Create a directory for kernel adaptation and configure the **config.gni** file of the development board.<br> For example, to adapt the LiteOS-A kernel to the RTL8720 development board, configure the **device/realtek/rtl8720/liteo_a/config.gni** file as follows:
```shell
# Kernel type, e.g. "linux", "liteos_a", "liteos_m".
kernel_type ="liteos_a"
# Kernel version.
kernel_version ="3.0.0"
# Board CPU type, e.g. "cortex-a7", "riscv32".
board_cpu ="real-m300"
# Board arch, e.g. "armv7-a", "rv32imac".
board_arch =""
# Toolchain name used for system compiling.
# E.g. gcc-arm-none-eabi, arm-linux-harmonyeabi-gcc, ohos-clang, riscv32-unknown-elf.
# Note: The default toolchain is "ohos-clang". It's not mandatory if you use the default toochain.
board_toolchain ="gcc-arm-none-eabi"
# The toolchain path instatlled, it's not mandatory if you have added toolchian path to your ~/.bashrc.
3. Write the build script.<br> Create the **BUILD.gn** file in the development board directory. The target name must be the same as that of the development board. The following is an example of the **device/board/realtek/rtl8720/BUILD.gn** file for the RTL8720 development board:
```shell
group("rtl8720"){# The build target can be shared_library, static_library, or an executable file.
# Content
......
}
```
4. Build the chipset solution.<br> Run the **hb build** command in the development board directory to start the build.
The **bundle.json** file of a component is stored in the root directory of the component source code. The following example shows how to configure the sensor service component of the pan-sensor subsystem:
```shell
{
"name": "@ohos/sensor_lite", # OpenHarmony Package Manager (HPM) component name, in the "@Organization/Component name" format.
"description": "Sensor services", # Description of the component function.
"version": "3.1", # Version, which must be the same as the version of OpenHarmony.
"license": "MIT", # Component license.
"publishAs": "code-segment", # HPM package release mode. The default value is code-segment.
"segment": {
"destPath": ""
}, # Code restoration path (source code path) set when publishAs is code-segment.
"dirs": {"base/sensors/sensor_lite"}, # Directory structure of the HPM package. This field is mandatory and can be left empty.
"scripts": {}, # Scripts to be executed. This field is mandatory and can be left empty.
"licensePath": "COPYING",
"readmePath": {
"en": "README.rst"
},
"component": {# Component attributes.
"name": "sensor_lite", # Component name.
"subsystem": "", # Subsystem to which the component belongs.
"syscap": [], # System capabilities provided by the component for applications.
"features": [], # List of external configurable features of a component. Generally, this parameter corresponds to sub_component in build.
"adapted_system_type": [], # Types of adapted systems, which can be mini, small, and standard.
"rom": "92KB", # Component ROM size.
"ram": "~200KB", # Component RAM size.
"deps": {
"components": [# Other components on which this component depends.
"samgr_lite",
"ipc_lite"
],
"third_party": [# Third-party open-source software on which this component depends.
"test": []# Entry for building the component's test cases.
}
}
}
```
>  **NOTE**<br>Existing components on the LiteOS are configured in the JSON file of the corresponding subsystem in the **build/lite/components** directory. The directory is named in the **{Domain}/{Subsystem}/{Component}** format. The component directory structure is as follows:
```shell
component
├── interfaces
│ ├── innerkits # APIs exposed internally among components
│ └── kits # APIs provided for application developers
├── frameworks # Framework implementation
├── services # Service implementation
├── BUILD.gn # Build script
```
You need to configure the component name, source code path, function description, mandatory or not, build target, RAM, ROM, output, adapted kernel, configurable features, and dependencies.
When adding a component, you must add the component definition to the JSON file of the corresponding subsystem. The component configured for a product must have been defined in a subsystem. Otherwise, the verification will fail.
### Adding and Building a Component
1. Add a component.<br> The following use a custom component as an example to describe how to compile a library, executable file, and configuration file.
In this example, **partA** consists of **feature1**, **feature2**, and **feature3**, which represent a dynamic library, an executable file, and an etc configuration file, respectively.
Add **partA** to a subsystem, for example, **subsystem_examples** (defined in the **test/examples/** directory).
The directory structure of **partA** is as follows:
```shell
test/examples/partA
├── feature1
│ ├── BUILD.gn
│ ├── include
│ │ └── helloworld1.h
│ └── src
│ └── helloworld1.cpp
├── feature2
│ ├── BUILD.gn
│ ├── include
│ │ └── helloworld2.h
│ └── src
│ └── helloworld2.cpp
└── feature3
├── BUILD.gn
└── src
└── config.conf
```
(a) Configure **test/examples/partA/feature1/BUILD.gn** for the dynamic library.
```shell
config("helloworld_lib_config"){
include_dirs =["include"]
}
ohos_shared_library("helloworld_lib"){
sources =[
"include/helloworld1.h",
"src/helloworld1.cpp",
]
public_configs =[":helloworld_lib_config"]
part_name ="partA"
}
```
(b) Configure **test/examples/partA/feature2/BUILD.gn** for the executable file.
```shell
ohos_executable("helloworld_bin"){
sources =[
"src/helloworld2.cpp"
]
include_dirs =["include"]
deps =[# Dependent modules in the component
"../feature1:helloworld_lib"
]
external_deps =["partB:module1"]# (Optional) Dependent modules of another component are named in the Component name:Module name format.
install_enable =true# By default, executable programs are not installed. Set this parameter to true if an executable program needs to be installed.
part_name ="partA"
}
```
(c) Configure **test/examples/partA/feature3/BUILD.gn** for the etc module.
```shell
ohos_prebuilt_etc("feature3_etc"){
source="src/config.conf"
relative_install_dir ="init"# (Optional) Relative directory for installing the module. The default installation directory is **/system/etc**.
part_name ="partA"
}
```
(d) Add the module configuration **test/examples/bundle.json** to the **bundle.json** file of the component. Each component has a **bundle.json** file in the root directory of the component. For details, see the [component bundle.json file](subsys-build-component.md#configuration-rules).
2. Add the component to **//vendor/{*product_company*}/{*product-name*}/config.json**.
For example, after you add "subsystem_examples:partA" to the product **config.json** file, **partA** will be built and packaged into the distribution.
3. Start the build.<br> You can start the build by using the [CLI or hb tool](subsys-build-all.md#build-commands). The following uses the CLI as an example:
You can run **--build-target***Component name* to build a component separately. For example, to build the musl component of hispark_taurus_standard, run the following command:
4. Obtain the build result.<br> You can obtain the generated files from the **out/hispark_taurus/** directory and the image in the **out/hispark_taurus/packages/phone/images/** directory.
This document describes how to declare, define, and configure features.
- Declare a feature
Declare the features of a component in **feature_list** of the **bundle.json** file of the component. Each feature must start with the **{component name}**.
The following is an example:
```
{
"name": "@ohos/xxx",
"component": {
"name": "partName",
"subsystem": "subsystemName",
"features": [
"{partName}_feature_A"
]
}
}
```
You can declare multiple features in **features** for a component.
- Define a feature
You can define the default value of a feature as follows:
```
declare_args() {
{partName}_feature_A = true
}
```
The value defined is the default value of the component. The product can overload the feature default values in the component list.
If a feature is used by multiple modules of a component, you are advised to define the feature in the global .gni file of the component and import the .gni file to the **BUILD.gn** file of each module.
- Configure a feature
In the **BUILD.gn** file, determine the code or modules to build based on features.
```
if ({partName}_feature_A) {
sources += [ "xxx.c" ]
}
# Dependency introduced by a feature can be isolated by feature.
if ({partName}_feature_A) {
deps += [ "xxx" ]
external_deps += [ "xxx" ]
}
# The bundle.json file does not support the if statement. If the sub_component contained in the bundle.json file needs to be deleted, define group().
group("testGroup") {
deps = []
if ({partName}_feature_A) {
deps += [ "xxx" ]
}
}
```
You can also define code macros for modules in the following way to implement differentiated configuration:

### GN
### GN
- GN is used in large software systems such as Chromium, Fuchsia, and OpenHarmony.
GN is used in large software systems such as Chromium, Fuchsia, and OpenHarmony. However, the GN syntax has limitations rooted in its design philosophy. For details, see https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/main/docs/language.md#Design-philosophy. For example, GN does not support wildcards and cannot get the length of a list. If you find it complex to implement something with GN, stop and consider whether it is necessary to do it. For more details about GN, see https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/main/docs/.

The Compilation and Building subsystem implements compilation and packaging by module, component, and product. A module is an target to build. It can be a dynamic library, static library, configuration file, or prebuilt module. The component to which a module belongs must be defined. A module can belong to only one component. OpenHarmony uses customized GN templates to configure modules. For details about the GN basics, see https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/main/docs/reference.md.
The common templates for module configuration are as follows:
```
# C/C++ templates
ohos_shared_library
ohos_static_library
ohos_executable
ohos_source_set
# # Prebuilt templates
ohos_prebuilt_executable
ohos_prebuilt_shared_library
ohos_prebuilt_static_library
#HAP templates
ohos_hap
ohos_app_scope
ohos_js_assets
ohos_resources
#Other templates
#Configuration file
ohos_prebuild_etc
#SA profile
ohos_sa_profile
```
You are recommended to use the OpenHarmony customized templates.

## Adding and Building a Module
The figure below illustrates the process for adding a module. A module belongs to a component, which belongs to a subsystem. Please note that the chipset solution, as a special component, does not have a subsystem. You may need to:
- Add a module to an existing component.
- Add a module to a new component.
- Add a module to a new subsystem.
**Adding a Module to an Existing Component**
1. Configure the **BUILD.gn** file in the module directory and select the GN template.
2. Modify the **bundle.json** file.
```shell
{
"name": "@ohos/<component_name>, # HPM component name, in the "@Organization/Component name" format.
"description": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", # Description of the component functions.
"version": "3.1", # Version, which must be the same as the version of OpenHarmony.
"license": "MIT", # Component license.
"publishAs": "code-segment", # HPM package release mode. The default value is code-segment.
"segment": {
"destPath": "third_party/nghttp2"
}, # Code restoration path (source code path) set when publishAs is code-segment.
"dirs": {}, # Directory structure of the HPM package. This field is mandatory and can be left empty.
"scripts": {}, # Scripts to be executed. This field is mandatory and can be left empty.
"licensePath": "COPYING",
"readmePath": {
"en": "README.rst"
},
"component": { # Component attributes.
"name": "<component_name>", # Component name.
"subsystem": "", # Subsystem to which the component belongs.
"syscap": [], # System capabilities provided by the component for applications.
"features": [], # List of configurable features of the component. Generally, this parameter corresponds to sub_component in build.
"adapted_system_type": [], # Types of adapted systems. The value can be mini, small, and standard.
"rom": "xxxKB" # ROM baseline. If there is no baseline, enter the current value.
"ram": "xxxKB", # RAM baseline. If there is no baseline, enter the current value.
"deps": {
"components": [ # Other components on which this component depends.
"third_party": [ # Third-party open-source software on which this component depends.
], # Component build entry. Configure the module here.
"inner_kits": [], # APIs between components
"test": [] # Entry for building the component's test cases.
}
}
}
```
**NOTE**<br>The **bundle.json** file must be in the folder of the corresponding subsystem.
3. Start the build and check whether a .so file or binary file is generated.
**Creating a Component and Adding a Module**
1. Configure the **BUILD.gn** file in the module directory and select the corresponding GN template. Note that **part_name** in the **BUILD.gn** file is the name of the component to add.
2. Create a **bundle.json** file in the folder of the corresponding subsystem.
3. Add the new component to the end of existing components in **vendor/{product_company}/{product-name}/config.json**.
```shell
"subsystems": [
{
"subsystem": "Subsystem to which the component belongs",
"components": [
{"component": "Component 1 name", "features":[]}, # Existing component 1 in the subsystem
{"component": "Component 2 name", "features":[] }, # Existing component 2 in the subsystem
{"component": "New component name", "features":[]}# New component in the subsystem
]
},
.
]
```
4. Start the build and check whether a .so file or binary file is generated.
**Creating a Subsystem and Adding a Module**
1. Configure the **BUILD.gn** file in the module directory and select the corresponding GN template. This step is the same as the step in "Creating a Component and Adding a Module."
2. Create a **bundle.json** file in the folder of the component of the subsystem. This step is the same as the step in "Creating a Component and Adding a Module."
3. Modify the **subsystem_config.json** file in the **build** directory.
```shell
{
"Subsystem 1 name": {# Existing subsystem 1
"path": "Subsystem 1 directory",
"name": "Subsystem 1 name"
},
"Subsystem 2 name": {# Existing subsystem 2
"path": "Subsystem 2 directory",
"name": "Subsystem 2 name"
},
"Subsystem name new": {# Subsystem to add
"path": "New subsystem directory",
"name": "New subsystem name"
},
}
```
The **subsystem_config.json** file defines the subsystems and their directories. When adding a subsystem, specify **path** and **name** for the subsystem.
4. If **product-name** in the **vendor/{product_company}/{product-name}** directory is **hispark_taurus_standard**, add the new component information to the end of existing components in the **config.json** file.
```shell
"subsystems": [
{
"subsystem": "arkui", # Name of the existing subsystem
"components": [# All components of the subsystem
{
"component": "ace_engine_standard", # Name of the existing component
"features": []
},
{
"component": "napi", # Name of the existing component
"features": []
}
{
"component": "component_new1", # Name of the new component to add
"features": []
}
]
},
{
"subsystem": "subsystem_new", # Name of the new subsystem to add
"components": [
{
"component": "component_new2", # Name of the component to be added to the new subsystem
"features": []
}
]
},
]
```
4. Start the build and check whether a .so file or binary file is generated.
**Building a Module**
You can start the build by using the [CLI or hb tool](subsys-build-all.md#build-commands). The following uses the CLI as an example:
You can run the **--build-target***Module name* command to build a module separately.
```shell
./build.sh --build-target Module Name
```
You can also build a product. For example, to build hispark_taurus_standard, run the following command:
```shell
./build.sh --product-name hispark_taurus_standard --build-target Module name --ccache
```
You can also build the component to which the module belongs.
```shell
./build.sh --product-name hispark_taurus_standard --build-target musl --build-target Module name --ccache
The product solution is a special component. It is a product built based on a development board. It includes the OS adaptation, component assembly and configuration, startup configuration, and file system configuration. The source code path of a product solution is in the **vendor/{Product solution vendor}/{Product name}** format.
The product solution directory structure is as follows:
```shell
vendor
└── company # Product solution vendor
├── product # Product name
│ ├── init_configs
│ │ ├── etc # Startup configuration of the init process (only required for the Linux kernel)
│ │ └── init.cfg # System service startup configuration
│ ├── hals # OS adaptation
│ ├── BUILD.gn # Product build script
│ └── config.json # Product configuration file
│ └── fs.yml # File system packaging configuration
└── ......
```
>  **NOTE**<br>Directories and files must be created for new products based on the preceding rules. The Compilation and Building subsystem scans the configured products based on the rules.
The key directories and files are described as follows:
1.**vendor/company/product/init_configs/etc**<br>This folder contains the rcS, Sxxx, and fstab scripts. The init process runs the rcS, fstab, and S00-xxx scripts in sequence before starting system services. The **S***xxx* script is used to create device nodes and directories, scan device nodes, and change file permissions for the development board and product. These scripts are copied from the **BUILD.gn** file to the **out** directory of the product as required and packaged into the **rootfs** image.
2.**vendor/company/product/init_configs/init.cfg**<br>**init.cfg** defines how the init process starts services. Currently, the following commands can be parsed:
-**start**: starts a service.
-**mkdir**: creates a folder.
-**chmod**: changes the permission on a specified directory or file.
-**chown**: changes the owner group of a specified directory or file.
-**mount**: mounts a device.
The fields in the file are described as follows:
```shell
{
"jobs" : [{# An array of Jobs. A job corresponds to a command set. Jobs are executed in the following sequence: pre-init > init > post-init.
"name" : "pre-init",
"cmds" : [
"mkdir /storage/data", # Create a directory.
"chmod 0755 /storage/data", # Modify the permissions. The format of the permission value is 0xxx, for example, 0755.
"mkdir /storage/data/log",
"chmod 0755 /storage/data/log",
"chown 4 4 /storage/data/log", # Change the owner group. The first number is the user ID (UID), and the second number is the group ID (GID).
......
"mount vfat /dev/mmcblock0 /sdcard rw,umask=000"# The command format is mount [File system type] [source] [target] [flags] [data].
# The value of flags can be nodev, noexec, nosuid, or rdonly only.
]
}, {
"name" : "init",
"cmds" : [# Start services based on the sequence of the cmds array.

3.**vendor/company/product/init_configs/hals**<br>This folder contains the OS adaptation of the product. For details about the interfaces to be implemented, see readme of each component.
4.**vendor/company/product/config.json**<br>The **config.json** file is the main entry for compilation and build. It contains the configuration of the development board, OS components, and kernel.
The following example shows the **config.json** file of the IP camera developed based on the hispark_taurus board:
```shell
{
"product_name": "ipcamera", # Product name
"version": "3.0", # Version of config.json. The value is 3.0.
"type": "small", # System type. The value can be mini, small, or standard.
"ohos_version": "OpenHarmony 1.0", # OS version
"device_company": "hisilicon", # Chipset vendor
"board": "hispark_taurus", # Name of the development board
5.**vendor/company/product/fs.yml**<br>The **fs.yml** file defines the process for creating a file system image, for example, **rootfs.img** (user-space root file system) and **userfs.img** (readable and writable file). It consists of multiple lists, and each list corresponds to a file system. The fields are described as follows:
```shell
fs_dir_name: (Mandatory) specifies name of the file system, for example, rootfs or userfs.
fs_dirs: (Optional) specifies the mapping between the file directory in the out directory and the system file directory. Each file directory corresponds to a list.
source_dir: (Optional) specifies target file directory in the out directory. If this field is not specified, an empty directory will be created in the file system based on target_dir.
target_dir: (Mandatory) specifies the file directory in the file system.
ignore_files: (Optional) declares ignored files during the copy operation.
dir_mode: (Optional) specifies the file directory permissions. The default value is 755.
file_mode: (Optional) specifies the permissions of all files in the directory. The default value is 555.
fs_filemode: (Optional) specifies the files that require special permissions. Each file corresponds to a list.
file_dir: (Mandatory) specifies the detailed file path in the file system.
file_mode: (Mandatory) declares file permissions.
fs_symlink: (Optional) specifies the soft link of the file system.
fs_make_cmd: (Mandatory) creates the file system script. The script provided by the OS is located in the build/lite/make_rootfs directory. Linux, LiteOS, ext4, jffs2, and vfat are supported. Chipset vendors can also customize the script as required.
fs_attr: (Optional) dynamically adjusts the file system based on configuration items.
```
The **fs_symlink** and **fs_make_cmd** fields support the following variables:
- Code root directory, which corresponds to **${ohos_root_path}** of GN.
-**out** directory of the product, which corresponds to **${root_out_dir}** of GN.
- File system directory ${fs_dir}, which consists variables ${root_path} and ${fs_dir_name}.
>  **NOTE**<br>**fs.yml** is optional. You do not need to configure it for devices without a file system.
6.**vendor/company/product/BUILD.gn**<br>**BUILD.gn** provides the entry for product build. It is used to compile the source code of the solution vendor and copy the startup configuration file. The **BUILD.gn** file in the corresponding product directory will be compiled by default if a product is selected. The following is an example of the **BUILD.gn** file of a product:
```shell
group("product"){# The name must be the same as the product name (level-3 directory name under the product directory).
deps =[]
deps +=["init_configs"]# Copy init configuration.
... # Others
}
```
### Adding and Building a Product
You can customize a product solution by flexibly assembling a chipset solution and components. The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a directory for the product. <br>The following uses the Wi-Fi IoT module on the RTL8720 development board as an example. <br>Run the following command in the root directory of the code:
```shell
mkdir-p vendor/my_company/wifiiot
```
2. Configure the product. <br>Create a **config.json** file, for example for wifiiot, in the product directory. <br>The **vendor/my_company/wifiiot/config.json** file is as follows:
```shell
{
"product_name": "wifiiot", # Product name
"version": "3.0", # Version of config.json. The value is 3.0.
"type": "small", # System type. The value can be mini, small, or standard.
"ohos_version": "OpenHarmony 1.0", # OS version
"device_company": "realtek", # Name of the chipset solution vendor
"board": "rtl8720", # Name of the development board
"kernel_type": "liteos_m", # Kernel type
"kernel_version": "3.0.0", # Kernel version
"subsystems": [
{
"subsystem": "kernel", # Subsystem
"components": [
{"component": "liteos_m", "features":[] }# Component and its features
]
},
...
{
More subsystems and components
}
]
}
```
**NOTE**<br>Before the build, the Compilation and Building subsystem checks the validity of the fields in **config.json**. The **device_company**, **board**, **kernel_type**, and **kernel_version** fields must match the chipset solution, and the **subsystem** and **component** fields must match the component description in **build/lite/components**.
3. Implement OS adaptation APIs. Create the **hals** directory in the product directory and save the source code as well as the build script for OS adaptation in this directory.
4. Create the **init_configs** directory in the product directory and then the **init.cfg** file in the **init_configs** directory, and configure the system services to be started.
5. (Optional) Configure the init process for the Linux kernel. Create the **etc** directory in the **init_configs** directory, and then create the **init.d** folder and the **fstab** file in the **etc** directory. Then, create the **rcS** and **S***xxx* files in the **init.d** file and edit them based on product requirements.
6. (Optional) Configure the file system image for the development board that supports the file system.<br> Create the **fs.yml** file in the product directory, and configure it as required. A typical **fs.yml** file is as follows:
```shell
-
fs_dir_name: rootfs # Image name
fs_dirs:
-
# Copy the files in the out/my_board/my_product/bin directory to the rootfs/bin directory and ignore the .bin files related to testing.
source_dir: bin
target_dir: bin
ignore_files:
- Test.bin
- TestSuite.bin
-
# Copy the files in the out/my_board/my_product/libs directory to the rootfs/lib directory, ignore all .a files, and set the file permissions to 644 and folder permissions 755.
source_dir: libs
target_dir: lib
ignore_files:
- .a
dir_mode: 755
file_mode: 644
-
source_dir: usr/lib
target_dir: usr/lib
ignore_files:
- .a
dir_mode: 755
file_mode: 644
-
source_dir: config
target_dir: etc
-
source_dir: system
target_dir: system
-
source_dir: sbin
target_dir: sbin
-
source_dir: usr/bin
target_dir: usr/bin
-
source_dir: usr/sbin
target_dir: usr/sbin
-
# Create an empty proc directory.
target_dir: proc
-
target_dir: mnt
-
target_dir: opt
-
target_dir: tmp
-
target_dir: var
-
target_dir: sys
-
source_dir: etc
target_dir: etc
-
source_dir: vendor
target_dir: vendor
-
target_dir: storage
fs_filemode:
-
file_dir: lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.33.2.so
file_mode: 555
-
file_dir: lib/ld-2.24.so
file_mode: 555
-
file_dir: etc/init.cfg
file_mode: 400
fs_symlink:
-
# Create the soft link ld-musl-arm.so.1 -> libc.so in the rootfs/lib directory.
source: libc.so
link_name: ${fs_dir}/lib/ld-musl-arm.so.1
-
source: mksh
link_name: ${fs_dir}/bin/sh
-
source: mksh
link_name: ${fs_dir}/bin/shell
fs_make_cmd:
# Run the script to create an ext4 image from rootfs.
7. (Optional) Configure patches if the product and components need to be patched.<br>Create a **patch.yml** file in the product directory. A typical **patch.yml** file is as follows:
```shell
# Directory in which the patch is to be installed
foundation/communication/dsoftbus:
# Directory in which the patch is stored.
- foundation/communication/dsoftbus/1.patch
- foundation/communication/dsoftbus/2.patch
third_party/wpa_supplicant:
- third_party/wpa_supplicant/1.patch
- third_party/wpa_supplicant/2.patch
- third_party/wpa_supplicant/3.patch
...
```
Add **--patch** when running the **hb build** command. Then, the patch files can be added to the specified directory before the build.
```shell
hb build -f--patch
```
8. Write the build script. <br>Create a **BUILD.gn** file in the product directory and write the script. The following **BUILD.gn** file uses the Wi-Fi IoT module in step 1 as an example:
```shell
group("wifiiot"){# The target name must be the same as the product name.
deps =[]
deps +=["init_configs"]# Copy init configuration.
deps +=["hals"]# Add hals.
... # Others
}
```
9. Build the product.<br> You can start the build by using the [CLI or hb tool](subsys-build-all.md#build-commands). The following uses the CLI as an example. For example, the product name is **hispark_taurus_standard**. Run the following command:
When adding a module, you need to declare its dependencies in **BUILD.gn**. **deps** specifies dependent modules in the same component, and **external_deps** specifies dependent modules between components.
**Dependency Types**
The dependency between modules can be classified into **desp** (left in the figure above) and **external_deps** (right in the figure above).
-**desp**: The dependent module to be added belongs to the same part with the current module. For example, module 2 depends on module 1, and modules 1 and 2 belong to the samp component.
-**external_deps**: The dependent module to be added belongs to another component. For example, module 2 depends on module 1, and modules 1 and 2 belong to different components.
- Example of **deps**:
```shell
import("//build/ohos.gni")
ohos_shared_library("module1"){
...
part_name ="part1"# (Mandatory) Name of the component to which the module belongs.
...
}
```
```shell
import("//build/ohos.gni")
ohos_shared_library("module2"){
...
deps =[
"GN target of module 1",
...
]# Intra-component dependency
part_name ="part1"# (Mandatory) Name of the component to which the module belongs.
}
```
- Example of **external_deps**:
```shell
import("//build/ohos.gni")
ohos_shared_library("module1"){
...
part_name ="part1"# (Mandatory) Name of the component to which the module belongs.
...
}
```
```shell
import("//build/ohos.gni")
ohos_shared_library("module2"){
...
external_deps =[
"part1:module1",
...
]# Inter-component dependency. The dependent module must be declared in **inner_kits** by the dependent component.
part_name ="part2"# (Mandatory) Name of the component to which the module belongs.
}
```
**NOTE**<br>The dependency between components must be written in the format of **Component name:Module name** in **external_deps**. The dependent module must be declared in **inner_kits**.
## Information Collected by the Open Source Software Notice
An open source software notice is a file related to the project open source. It collects license information to comply with open source specifications.
**Information to Collect**
The notice collects only the licenses of the modules packaged in the image. For example, the licenses of the tools (such as Clang, Python, and Ninja) used during the build process are not collected.
A static library itself is not packaged. However, if it is packaged into the system as part of a dynamic library or executable file, the license of the static library will be collected for completeness.
The final **Notice.txt** file must include all licenses used by the files in the image and the mapping between modules and licenses.
The **Notice.txt** file is located in the **/system/etc/** directory.
**Rules for Collecting Information**
Licenses are collected by priority, which ranges from 1 to 4 in descending order of seniority.
1. Licenses that are directly declared in a module's **BUILD.gn** are given the top priority. The following is an example:
```shell
ohos_shared_library("example"){
...
license_file ="path-to-license-file"
...
}
```
2. If there is no explicitly declared license, the build script searches for the **Readme.OpenSource** file in the directory of **BUILD.gn**, parses the file, and collects the obtained licenses. If the **Readme.OpenSource** file does not contain license information, an error will be reported.
3. If the **Readme.OpenSource** file does not exist, the build script searches for the **License**, **Copyright**, and **Notice** files from the current directory to the root directory of the source code by default. If obtained license information will be used as the licenses of the module.
4. If no license is found, the default license (Apache License 2.0) will be used.
Pay attention to the following:
- For third-party open-source software, such as OpenSSL and ICU, **Readme.OpenSource** must be configured in the source code directory. Check whether **Readme.OpenSource** is in the same directory as **BUILD.gn** and whether the license configured in **Readme.OpenSource** is valid.
- If the source code is not licensed under the Apache License 2.0, the corresponding license file must be provided in the source code directory or declared by **license_file** for the module.
- If the source code file added to **BUILD.gn** is not from the current directory, check whether the license in the repository where the source code file is located is the same as that in the repository of **BUILD.gn**.
## Parameters for Accelerating Local Build
The following parameters can be added to the build command to speed up the build process:
-**--ccache**
- Ccache caches the output of C/C++ compilation. If the compilation input remains unchanged the next time, the compilation can be skipped and the results can be taken from the cache.
- Installing ccache:
- Quick installation: Run the **sudo apt-get install ccache** command.
- Download the binary file from the [official website](https://ccache.dev/download.html) and configure the ccache path to the environment variable.
- Usage: Run the **./build.sh --product-name***Product name***--ccache** command.
-**--fast-rebuild**
- The compilation process includes preloader -> loader -> GN -> Ninja. If the GN and product configuration files are not modified locally, adding **--fast-rebuild** will start from Ninja directly.
- Usage: Run the **./build.sh --product-name***Product name***--fast-rebuild** command.
-**enable_notice_collection=false**
- Adding this parameter can skip the process of collecting the module licenses of the open-source software.
- Usage: Run the **./build.sh --product-name***Product name***--gn-args --enable_notice_collection=false --ccache** command.
-**--build-target**
- This parameter specifies the module to compile. You can obtain the module name as follows:
- Pay attention to keywords such as **group**, **ohos_shared_library**, and **ohos_executable** in **BUILD.gn**.
- Run **./build.sh --product-name***Product name***--build-target***Module name***--build-only-gn** to generate **build.ninja** and locate the related module name in the file.
- Usage: Run the **./build.sh --product-name***Product name***--build-target ark_js_host_linux_tools_packages** command.
## Viewing Ninja Build Information
The **out/rk3568/.ninja_log** file records the build start time and end time (ms) of each module. A shorter interval indicates a faster build and higher compilation performance.
The four columns are start time, end time, modified timestamp (mtime), and command hash from left to right.
You can graphically display the build time as follows:
- Open **build.trace** locally.
Decompress **out/rk3568/build.trace.gz** and drag **build.trace** to **chrome://tracing/**.
- Open **build.trace** at **ci.openharmony.cn/events**.
You can open the **build.trace.html** file in each compilation output as follows:
1. Click **Success** under **Static Check**.
2. Click **Output** in the **Output** column. The **build.trace.html** file is displayed in the **build_trace** column on the left. Click the file to open it.
Add the keyword **syscap** under **component** to configure system capabilities. If no value is assigned for a system capability, the default value **true** will be used. The value **true** means to enable the system capability, and the value **false** means the opposite.
In this example, Wi-Fi STA, AP, and HotspotExt are enabled, and P2P and Core are disabled.
## Configuring System Capabilities for a Product
When building a product, you may need to enable or disable specific system capabilities for it in **vendor/{company}/{product}/config.json**. If you do not configure system capabilities here, the system capabilities configured for the component will be used.
To configure system capabilities for a product, add the keyword **syscap** to the product **config.json** file and configure the system capabilities. The system capabilities configured for a product take precedence over the system capabilities configured for a component. If a system capability is set to **false** for the component and to **true** for the product, the system capability is enabled. The following is an example:
In this example, Wi-Fi AP and HotspotExt are disabled and P2P is enabled for the product. Considering the system capability configuration example for the component, STA and P2P are enabled and AP, Core, and HotspotExt are disabled.
## Configuration Tips
If a product does not have feature difference, you only need to configure system capabilities for components. If a product has feature difference, you can enable or disable specific system capabilities in the product configuration file.
