Third-Party SDK Integration

To build a more open and complete Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, OpenHarmony has opened up a group of directories to integrate SDKs provided by different vendors. This guide describes how to integrate SDKs into OpenHarmony based on the Hi3861 board.

Planning a Directory Structure

A third-party SDK consists of a static library and the adaption code. The SDK service logic is compiled to obtain the static library libs through the hardware module tool chain. Each module has its corresponding libs. The southbound APIs of the SDK are different from the APIs of OpenHarmony. The difference can be shielded by using the adaptation code adapter. Different modules can share the same adapter.

Based on the preceding features, third-party SDK directories can be divided as follows in the OpenHarmony directory structure:

domains/iot/link/: The adapter is stored in this directory and is decoupled from the module.
device/hisilicon/hispark_pegasus/sdk_liteos/3rd_sdk/: The service library libs is stored in this directory and is bound to the module.

You must perform the following steps before adaptation. The following uses the demolink SDK as an example.

Create vendor directories, domains/iot/link/demolink/ and device/hisilicon/hispark_pegasus/sdk_liteos/3rd_sdk/demolink/, to isolate different vendors.
Create the domains/iot/link/demolink/BUILD.gn file to build the adaptation code.
Create the device/hisilicon/hispark_pegasus/sdk_liteos/3rd_sdk/demolink/libs/ directory to store the service library libs.

                     └── demolink
                         └── libs

Building the Service libs

Generally, the platform SDK service is provided as a static library. After obtaining the OpenHarmony code, the platform vendor needs to compile the service library libs based on the corresponding hardware module vendor and save the compilation result to the device/hisilicon/hispark_pegasus/sdk_liteos/3rd_sdk/demolink/libs/ directory. The following describes how to build the service library libs.

OpenHarmony has planned the domains/iot/link/libbuild/ directory for compiling the service library libs. This directory contains the domains/iot/link/libbuild/BUILD.gn and domains/iot/link/BUILD.gn files. The directory structure is as follows:

.
└── domains
    └── iot
        └── link
            ├── demolink
            │   └── BUILD.gn
            ├── libbuild
            │   └── BUILD.gn
            └── BUILD.gn

Before building libs, you must perform the following steps:

Place the service source code files (including .c and .h files) in the domains/iot/link/libbuild/ directory.

.
└── domains
    └── iot
        └── link
            ├── demolink
            │   ├── demosdk_adapter.c
            │   ├── demosdk_adapter.h
            │   └── BUILD.gn
            ├── libbuild
            │   ├── demosdk.c
            │   ├── demosdk.h
            │   └── BUILD.gn
            └── BUILD.gn

Adapt to the domains/iot/link/libbuild/BUILD.gn file and restore the file after the compilation is complete.

In the BUILD.gn file, sources specifies the source file to build and include_dirs specifies the path of the dependent header file so that the target build result is the static library libdemosdk.a.
```
static_library("demosdk") {
    sources = [
        "demosdk.c"
    ]
    include_dirs = [
        "//domains/iot/link/libbuild",
        "//domains/iot/link/demolink"
    ]
}
```
Adapt to the domains/iot/link/BUILD.gn file and restore the file after the compilation is complete.

The BUILD.gn file is used to specify build entries. You need to enter all static library entries to be compiled in features so that the domains/iot/link/libbuild/BUILD.gn file is used in the build.
```
import("//build/lite/config/subsystem/lite_subsystem.gni")
import("//build/lite/config/component/lite_component.gni")
lite_subsystem("iot") {
    subsystem_components = [
        ":link"
    ]
}
lite_component("link") {
    features = [
        "libbuild:demosdk"
    ]
}
```

After the preceding operations are complete, run the hb build -T //domains/iot/link:iot command in the root directory of the code and then check whether the target library file is generated in the out/hispark_pegasus/wifiiot_hispark_pegasus/libs/ directory.

Copy the library file to the device/hisilicon/hispark_pegasus/sdk_liteos/3rd_sdk/demolink/libs/ directory and delete the .c and .h files from the domains/iot/link/libbuild/ directory.

Compiling Adaptation Code

Compiling Code

The APIs used in the platform SDK are different from the OpenHarmony APIs and cannot be directly used. Therefore, the adaptation code adapter is required for intermediate conversion. This section uses DemoSdkCreateTask in domains/iot/link/demolink/demosdk_adapter.c as an example to describe how to compile adaptation code on OpenHarmony.

Check the description, parameters, and return values of the DemoSdkCreateTask API to adapt.

”` struct TaskPara { char *name; void *(func)(char arg); void *arg; unsigned char prio; unsigned int size; };

/*
- Create a thread for the IoT OS.
- Returns 0 if the operation is successful; returns a non-zero value otherwise. */ int DemoSdkCreateTask(unsigned int *handle, const struct TaskPara *para); “`

Check the OpenHarmony API document, select an API with similar features, and compare the parameters and usage. This guide uses osThreadNew as an example. By comparing this API with DemoSdkCreateTask, you can find that the parameters on which the two APIs depend are basically the same, but the structures to which the parameters belong are different.

typedef struct {
    const char                   *name;   ///< name of the thread
    uint32_t                 attr_bits;   ///< attribute bits
    void                      *cb_mem;    ///< memory for control block
    uint32_t                   cb_size;   ///< size of provided memory for control block
    void                   *stack_mem;    ///< memory for stack
    uint32_t                stack_size;   ///< size of stack
    osPriority_t              priority;   ///< initial thread priority (default: osPriorityNormal)
    TZ_ModuleId_t            tz_module;   ///< TrustZone module identifier
    uint32_t                  reserved;   ///< reserved (must be 0)
} osThreadAttr_t;


/// Create a thread and add it to Active Threads.
/// \param[in]     func          thread function.
/// \param[in]     argument      pointer that is passed to the thread function as start argument.
/// \param[in]     attr          thread attributes; NULL: default values.
/// \return thread ID for reference by other functions or NULL in case of error.
osThreadId_t osThreadNew (osThreadFunc_t func, void *argument, const osThreadAttr_t *attr);

Perform code adaptation to shield the difference.

int DemoSdkCreateTask(unsigned int *handle, const struct TaskPara *para)
{
    osThreadAttr_t attr = {0};
    osThreadId_t threadId;
    if (handle == 0||para == 0) {
        return DEMOSDK_ERR;
    }
    if (para->func == 0) {
        return DEMOSDK_ERR;
    }
    if (para->name == 0) {
        return DEMOSDK_ERR;
    }
    attr.name = para->name;
    attr.priority = para->prio;
    attr.stack_size = para->size;
    threadId = osThreadNew((osThreadFunc_t)para->func, para->arg, &attr);
    if (threadId == 0) {
        printf("osThreadNew fail\n");
        return DEMOSDK_ERR;
    }
    *(unsigned int *)handle = (unsigned int)threadId;
    return DEMOSDK_OK;
}

Compiling a Script

After completing code adaptation, create the BUILD.gn file in the directory where the adapter is located. This file can be used to compile the adaptation code into a static library and link the static library to the bin package during the entire package build. In the domains/iot/link/demolink/BUILD.gn file, sources specifies the source files to be used in the build and include_dirs specifies the path of the dependent header file so that the target build result is the static library libdemolinkadapter.a.

import("//build/lite/config/component/lite_component.gni")
static_library("demolinkadapter") {
    sources = [
        "demosdk_adapter.c"
    ]
    include_dirs = [
        "//kernel/liteos-m/kal/cmsis",
        "//domains/iot/link/demolink"
    ]
}

Modify the domains/iot/link/BUILD.gn file so that the domain/iot/hilink/BUILD.gn file is used in the build.

import("//build/lite/config/subsystem/lite_subsystem.gni")
import("//build/lite/config/component/lite_component.gni")
lite_subsystem("iot") {
    subsystem_components = [
        ":link"
    ]
}
lite_component("link") {
    features = [
        "demolink:demolinkadapter"
    ]
}

Compiling Service Code

After the service library libs and adaptation code are ready, compile the service entry function to call the service entry of the third-party SDK.

The following uses demolink as an example to describe how to compile code in applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/ to call the demosdk entry function.

Create a directory.

Before compiling a service, you must create a directory (or a directory structure) in applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/ to store service source code files.

For example, add the service directory demolink to the app, and create the service entry code helloworld.c and compile the BUILD.gn file.
```
.
└── applications
    └── sample
        └── wifi-iot
            └── app
                │── demolink
                │    │── helloworld.c
                │    └── BUILD.gn
                └── BUILD.gn
```
Compile service code.

Compile the service entry function DemoSdkMain in the helloworld.c file, call the service entry DemoSdkEntry of demolink, and call the entry function through SYS_RUN() to start the service.
```
#include "hos_init.h"
#include "demosdk.h"


void DemoSdkMain(void)
{
    DemoSdkEntry();
}


SYS_RUN(DemoSdkMain);
```

Compile build scripts.

Add the applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/demolink/BUILD.gn file, specify the paths of the source code and header file, and compile the static library file libexample_demolink.a.

static_library("example_demolink") {
    sources = [
        "helloworld.c"
    ]
    include_dirs = [
        "//utils/native/lite/include",
        "//domains/iot/link/libbuild"
    ]
}

Modify the applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/BUILD.gn file so that demolink is used in compilation.

import("//build/lite/config/component/lite_component.gni")
lite_component("app") {
    features = [
        "demolink:example_demolink"
    ]
}

Runtime

Run the hb build command in the root directory of the code to compile and output the version package. Start demolink. The following shows the running result, which is consistent with the expected result of demolink.
