## Introduction<a name="section11660541593"></a>
|
||
|
|

The OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A is a new-generation kernel developed based on the Huawei LiteOS kernel. Huawei LiteOS is a lightweight operating system \(OS\) built for the Internet of Things \(IoT\) field. With the rapid development of the IoT industry, OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A brings small-sized, low-power, and high-performance experience and builds a unified and open ecosystem for developers. In addition, it provides rich kernel mechanisms, more comprehensive Portable Operating System Interface \(POSIX\), and a unified driver framework, Hardware Driver Foundation \(HDF\), which offers unified access for device developers and friendly development experience for application developers. [Figure1](#fig27311582210) shows the architecture of the OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A kernel.

## Constraints<a name="section119744591305"></a>
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Programming languages: C and C++
|
||
|
- Applicable development boards: Hi3518E V300 and Hi3516D V300
|
||
|
- Hi3518E V300 uses the JFFS2 file system by default, and Hi3516D V300 uses the FAT file system by default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage<a name="section741617511812"></a>
|
||
|
|
||
|
OpenHarmony LiteOS Cortex-A supports the [Hi3518E V300](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/docs-en/quick-start/introduction-to-the-hi3518-development-board.md) and [Hi3516D V300](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/docs-en/quick-start/introduction-to-the-hi3516-development-board.md). You can develop and run your applications based on both development boards.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Preparations<a name="section1579912573329"></a>
|
||
|
|
||
|
You need to set up the compilation environment on Linux.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- For Hi3518E V300, see [Setting Up the Hi3518 Development Environment](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/docs-en/quick-start/setting-up-the-hi3518-development-environment.md).
|
||
|
- For Hi3516D V300, see [Setting Up the Hi3516 Development Environment](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/docs-en/quick-start/setting-up-the-hi3516-development-environment.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Source Code Acquisition<a name="section11443189655"></a>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Download and decompress a set of source code on a Linux server to acquire the [source code](https://repo.huaweicloud.com/harmonyos/os/1.0/code-1.0.tar.gz). For more acquisition methods, see [Source Code Acquisition](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/docs-en/get-code/source-code-acquisition.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Compilation and Building<a name="section2081013992812"></a>
