Introduction to HALHAL refers to the Hardware Abstraction Layer, which is an abstract interface between the operating system and the hardware. The function of HAL is to abstract the functions of the hardware into a unified interface so that the upper-level software can access the hardware by calling these interfaces without having to care about the details of the specific hardware. In the Android system , the existence of HAL allows hardware from different manufacturers to be uniformly called by upper-level applications, thereby improving the compatibility and portability of the system. HAL can also help developers develop applications more conveniently, because they do not need to write different drivers for different hardware, but can access the hardware by calling the unified HAL interface. Android's HAL plays an extremely important role, making the Android system more flexible and extensible. System Architecture
The entire architecture is shown in the figure below: picture This architecture makes the Android system scalable and flexible, while also providing developers with a wealth of APIs and tools to develop various types of applications. HAL layer exampleSuppose we want to implement a simple HAL layer interface for a sensor device: This is a simple HAL layer interface example for a sensor device, which defines the structure of the sensor module and the sensor polling device, and contains function pointers for activating sensors, setting delays, and polling sensor data. In actual HAL layer development, it is also necessary to implement the specific function codes corresponding to these function pointers and register them with the hardware module of the HAL layer. The above is a simple example to demonstrate how to define the HAL layer interface of the sensor device. In actual development, it is necessary to define and implement the corresponding interface according to the specific hardware device and function. |
