Eclipse Foundation Oniro OS, or Oniro OS, is a family of open-source operating systems based on OpenHarmony from OpenAtom Foundation built for Internet of Things.[6][7][8]
Overview[edit]
Oniro OS supports various devices running on a RTOS-based Zephyr kernel with memory as small as 128 KB, or running on the bigger Linux Yocto kernel with memory greater than 128 MB and up on bigger devices.[9]
It is built on open-source HarmonyOS called OpenHarmony distributed operating system built for Internet of things with a multi-layered architecture, which consists of four layers from the bottom to the top (kernel layer, system service layer, framework layer, and application layer).
Development[edit]
Applications for HarmonyOS are mostly built using components of ArkUI alongside cross-platform ArkUI-X variant, a Declarative User Interface framework. ArkUI elements are adaptable to various devices and include new interface rules with automatic updates along with HarmonyOS updates.[10]
Oniro OS is based on OpenHarmony, the open-source version of HarmonyOS, and primarily uses App Pack files suffixed with .app (also known as APP files) for distribution of software via AppGallery. It also employs third-party distribution application stores on operating systems like the Linux-based Unity Operating System. Each App Pack contains one or more HarmonyOS Ability Packages (HAP) including code for their abilities, resources, libraries, and a JSON file with configuration information.[11]
The operating system utilizes the Linux Yocto kernel for bigger memory devices, as well as the RTOS-based Zephyr kernel for smaller memory-constrained devices in the Kernel Abstract Layer (KAL) subsystem. For webview applications, it incorporates the Servo browser engine at the system level for security.[12]
As a universal single IoT platform, Oniro OS allows developers to write apps once and run everywhere across devices such as phones, tablets, personal computers, TVs, cars, smartwatches, single board computers, and screenless IoT devices such as smart speakers.[13]
Software development[edit]
Downstream integration development, Eclipse Oniro currently bases its developments OpenHarmony on the latest release. Newer versions become targeted as they become available and used by the working group members. For Eclipse Oniro, a downstream OpenHarmony distribution, the primary focus is to ensure well-integrated and tested features. The downstream fork would hold all changes and would be tested by developers and CI for releases through the GitHub repo. OpenHarmony upstream integrates pull requests on the Gitee master branch.[14][15]
Supported Hardware architectures[edit]
