Implementation of HAL for one of the feature in Android O

[Kirti Badkundri]

Hi All,     

         Need help to create my own HAL for one of the feature in Android O. As, In Android O, there are new concepts like HIDL. 

Need inputs from experts.

If possible share the contact number, so that I can discuss. It will be great help from the Experts.

Regards

The current HAL documentation is here:

https://source.android.com/devices/#Hardware-Abstraction-Layer

It has not yet been updated for O, because O is not open-source yet.

That URL will probably be updated sometime after O is open-source.

Do I need to create a new interface for accessing a new device (connected via PCIe) in android? Are there existing HAL interfaces that provides generic interfaces?

How can I add a new interface, like hardware/interfaces/neuralnetworks? Something like hardware/interfaces/customdevice ?

hi Alan Abraham,

 it is not necessary to create a new interface using HIDL for accessing a new hardware device. Of course, if you want you can follow the Android HIDL implementation.

If you dig into Android HIDL you will see what do android do with them and it is not hard to refer.
