Tizen 3.0 Porting Guide

Introduction

About Tizen

Tizen is a standards-based platform that provides Web and native APIs for developing applications for multiple device categories. Tizen is currently targeted for smartphones and tablet devices, though more device types will be available in the future.

Purpose of This Document

The intent of this document is to provide information and instruction to boot Tizen on new hardware and create products based on the Tizen OS. The Tizen porting guide takes you through the porting process by elaborating the Tizen architecture, the necessary tools, and the development environment setup, as well as creating a Tizen Image and demonstrating the modifications needed across various functional areas.

Tizen Architecture

The following figure illustrates the Tizen architecture for smartphone and tablet devices.

You can get detailed information of the Tizen framework layer from Dev Guide[1]

The Core Layer

Tizen Core Services

Application Framework

The Application Framework provides application management, including launching other applications using the package name, URI, or MIME type. It also launches predefined services, such as the system dialer application. The Application Framework also notifies applications of common events, such as low memory events, low battery, changes in screen orientation, and push notifications.

Base

Base contains GNU/Linux * base essential system libraries that provide key features, such as database support, internationalization, and XML parsing.

Connectivity

Connectivity consists of all network and connectivity related functionalities, such as 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HTTP, and NFC (Near Field Communication). Data network is based on ConnMan (Connection manager), which provides 3G and Wi-Fi based network connection management.

Graphics and UI

Graphics and UI consist of the system graphic and UI stacks, which includes EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries), window management system (x11 for Tizen 2.x / wayland for Tizen 3.0), input methods, and OpenGL® ES APIs.

EFL, the heart of the graphics component, is a suite of libraries. EFL is used to create rich graphics with ease, for all UI resolutions. The libraries build UIs in layers, allowing for 3D transformations and more. EFL includes the Evas canvas API library and the elementary widget library.

WebKit-based graphics is provided as well capable of running within a full browser UI or dedicated Web Runtime (without browser window), all based on Tizen's own HTML5 canvas WebKitEFL implementation. WebGL is supported too and Web-based frameworks for UI such as jQuery Mobile are also offered, what may help with porting existing jQuery code.

Location

Location provides location based services (LBS), including position information, geocoding, satellite information, and GPS status. It delivers location information from various positioning sources, such as GPS, WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System), Cell ID, and sensors.

Messaging

Messaging consists of Message and Email. The Message supports SMS, MMS, and cell broadcast messages. Email supports protocols such as SMTP, IMAP, and POP3.

Multimedia

Multimedia is based on GStreamer. It provides support for media, including video, audio, imaging, and VoIP. It also provides media content management for managing media file metadata information.

PIM (Personal Information Management)

PIM enables managing user data on the device, including managing calendar, contacts, tasks, and retrieving data about the device context (such as device position and cable status).

Security

Security is responsible for security deployment across the system. It consists of the platform security enablers, such as access control, certificate management, and secure application distribution.

For more information, see Security/Tizen 3.0 security porting guide and All 3.X security pages.

System

System consists of service (process), device, and resource management features, including:

• Interfaces for accessing devices, such as sensors, display, or vibrator
• Power management, such as LCD display backlight dimming/off and application processor sleep
• Monitoring devices and handling events, such as USB, MMC, charger, and ear jack events
• Resource management, such as CPU quota control and low memory management
• Service management, such as watchdog management and capability control

Telephony

Telephony consists of cellular functionalities communicating with the modem:

• Provides call services (single call and multiparty call).
• Provides call-related and non-call-related supplementary services (call waiting, barring, and forwarding and USSD).
• Supports GSM, UMTS, LTE and CDMA network services.
• Provides packet services and network status information.
• Provides SMS-related services.
• Provides SIM card functionalities (SIM phonebook, SIM EF files, SIM Application Toolkit support)

Web

Web provides a complete implementation of the Tizen Web API optimized for low power devices. It includes WebKit, which is a layout engine designed to allow Web browsers to render Web pages. It also provides Web runtime for Web applications.

Development Environment Setup

To set up the Tizen OS Development environment and to obtain information regarding development, see the following links:

• Setup your environment
• Installing development tools

Getting the Source Code and Build

Follow this guide to download the full source code for your Tizen platform and kernel.

• git clone

1. Download the xml file and extract each <git_path>.
2. Clone each git project using the git clone ssh://<Username>@review.tizen.org:29418/<git_path> command.

Example

$ wget https://download.tizen.org/releases/weekly/tizen/mobile/tizen-mobile_20160727.5/builddata/manifest/tizen-mobile_20160727.5_arm-wayland.xml
$ for i in `cat tizen-mobile_20160727.5_arm-wayland.xml | grep "path" |  awk -F "\"" '{print $4}'`; do mkdir -p $i; cd $i/..; git clone ssh://<Username>@review.tizen.org:29418/$i; cd -; done

• repo init' and 'repo sync

1. Initialize the repository using the repo init -u ssh://<Username>@review.tizen.org:29418/scm/manifest -b <branch_name> -m <profile>.xml command.
2. Replace the project's .xml file inside the $workspace/.repo/ directory with the manifest file in the $srcrpm_snapshot.
3. Use the repo sync to sync the repository.

Example

$ repo init -u ssh://<Username>@review.tizen.org:29418/scm/manifest -b tizen -m mobile.xml 
$ wget --directory-prefix=$workspace/.repo/manifests/mobile/ https://download.tizen.org/releases/weekly/tizen/mobile/tizen-mobile_20160727.5/builddata/manifest/tizen-mobile_20160727.5_arm-wayland.xml
$ mv $workspace/.repo/manifests/mobile/tizen-mobile_20160727.5_arm-wayland.xml projects.xml
$ repo sync

When there is en error in the repo sync command, first of all check whether the git project name inside the projects.xml file exists in review.tizen.org.

Platform Build

• To learn how to add something to Tizen, see Developer Guide.

• To build the source code by using git build system, see Git Build System.

Kernel Build

To build the Tizen kernel for the TM1 board:

1. Install and setup cross compile tools on your system if the target and host are different (such as x86).
   

   You can use the Linaro toolchain binaries or the Ubuntu package of them and have your environment setup for the cross tools (such as export CROSS_COMPILE=....).

2. Prepare the kernel source code for TM1 from profile/mobile/platform/kernel/linux-3.10-sc7730.

   git: https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=profile/mobile/platform/kernel/linux-3.10-sc7730.git

   branch: accepted/tizen_mobile

3. If your kernel source has been used to create binaries for other architecture, start by cleaning them up.

   $ make distclean

4. Setup the .config file for TM1.

   $ make ARCH=arm tizen_tm1_defconfig

5. After reconfiguring your needs (such as make ARCH=arm menuconfig) or using the stock configuration (no modifications), build it.

   $ make ARCH=arm zImage

   $ make ARCH=arm dtbs

6. Create devicetree and zImage merged image with image tools.

   $ scripts/sprd_dtbtool.sh -o arch/arm/boot/merged-dtb -p scripts/dtc/ -v arch/arm/boot/dts/

   $ scripts/sprd_mkdzimage.sh -o arch/arm/boot/dzImage -k arch/arm/boot/zImage -d arch/arm/boot/merged-dtb

7. Build and make kernel module image as well. Note that you may need to do sudo first to let sudo -n work in the script.

   $ sudo ls

   $ scripts/mkmodimg.sh

8. Make a .tar archive from dzImage and modules.img.

   You can make your own .tar file from the 2 files.

   $ tar cf FILENAME_YOU_WANT.tar -C arch/arm/boot dzImage -C ../../../usr/tmp-mod modules.img

9. Send the .tar image to the target using lthor.

   $ lthor FILENAME_YOU_WANT.tar

Image Build

• To create the image by using MIC, see MIC Image Creator.

Tizen Bootup Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the typical booting sequence, starting from the boot loader to the kernel and the platform.

Kernel Bootup

The Tizen bootup process is the same as any other Linux kernel. You just need to make sure that the correct device tree binary or machine ID and the boot arguments are passed from the boot loader.

Platform Bootup

• If initramfs exists
  • After the initial RAM disk image has been mounted, initramfs hands over the control to systemd as the system manager daemon in Tizen platform.
• If there is no initramfs
  • Kernel hands over the control to systemd as system manager daemon in Tizen platform.

From this point, systemd is responsible for probing all remaining hardware, mounting all necessary file systems and spawning all configured services. Basically, the system boot-up process is split up in various discrete steps. To synchronize point during start-up, target units (files whose name ends in .target) are used for grouping units. The boot-up process is highly parallelized in each target so that the order in which specific target units are reached is not deterministic. The system-plugin is an target-specific plugin for configuration setting such as mount point (/etc/fstab) and specific target boot scripts.

The following figure shows the early boot sequence after starting the kernel.

• sysinit.target
  • Special target unit for early boot-up scripts
  • It has dependencies on necessary services and targets such as local-fs.target.
  • At this point, most of file systems like /opt and /tmp are mounted and systemd related daemons, such as systemd-journald, are launched.
• basic.target
  • Special target unit for basic boot-up.
  • At this point, all necessary initialization for general purpose daemons such as mount points, sockets, timers, and path units are completed.
  • Tizen specific services (such as tizen-system-env) also are executed.

For more information, see systemd bootup process and systemd special target.

The following figure shows the overview of normal booting sequence in Tizen platform.

• multi-user.target
  • Special target unit for setting up a multi-user system which is non-graphical support.
  • In Tizen platform, this target is used for launching platform infrastructure daemons such as dbus (system session), device manager, resource manager, gps manager, telephony daemon, WRT (Web Runtime) security daemon, media server, tlm, and daemons related to connectivity.
  • Some systemd-related daemons (such as systemd-logind) are also started in this phase.
• graphical.target
  • Special target unit for setting up a graphical environment.
• systemd user session
  • systemd user session is executed by tlm and systemd-logind to execute user@.service.
  • Tizen platform uses the systemd user session for the user privilege daemons.
  • Some daemons related with graphic system such as Enlightenment (Windows manager) are launched as user privilege in this phase.
  • ac.service and launchpad-process-pool are launched as user privilege.
  • Tizen applications are running as user privilege.

BSP Customization

This section covers the basic configuration, setup, and build procedure required for building the boot loader and the kernel image for ARM.

Boot Loader Fundamentals

Boot loader is a small piece of software that is required to perform the basic hardware and peripheral initialization and load the kernel and proper device tree binary for the device to RAM. For the Tizen platform, the boot loader comes in 2 parts. The first part is the primary boot loader and the second part is the secondary boot loader. The primary boot loader is the proprietary boot loader. The secondary boot loader is the open source boot loader u-boot, which is customized further for the Tizen platform.

If your platform is already loaded with the compatible boot loader software, you can skip this section and move directly to the kernel section.

Boot Loader Setup and Build

To build the Tizen TM1 boot loader:

1. Install and setup cross compile tools on your system if the target and your host are different (such as x86).

   You can use the Linaro toolchain binaries or Ubuntu package of them and have your environment setup for the cross tools (such as export CROSS_COMPILE=....).

2. Start with cleaning up the u-boot-tm1 source. (Download the source from the u-boot-tm1 repository.)

   $ make distclean

3. Set up the configration for TM1.

   $ make ARCH=arm tizen_tm1_defconfig

4. Build u-boot.

   $ make ARCH=arm

5. Once the build is successful, the u-boot.bin file is created. (This step is for preventing from flashing the other u-boot.bin file.)

   $ tools/mkimage_signed.sh u-boot.bin "tizen_tm1"

6. After the scrip is run, the u-boot-mmc.bin file is created.
7. Create a boot loader tarball to download the u-boot binary onto the target.

   $ tar cvf bootloader.tar u-boot-mmc.bin

Be careful when you modify the boot loader, as there is a risk of breaking the device for good.

Boot Loader Kernel Parameters

The command line parameters can be passed from boot loader to Linux kernel. Here are some example command line parameters:

   Example:
   console=ttyS1,115200n8
   mem=1024M
   loglevel=1

Kernel Fundamentals

The kernel is the operating system that drives the platform. Here the kernel refers to the open source Linux kernel that is customized for the Tizen platform. The following section gives a brief overview about the Tizen kernel setup, configuration, and the build procedure for building a Linux kernel for your Tizen platform. The output of the kernel binary is a zImage merged with devicetree or the zImage and devicetree binary that is suitable for boot loader of the specific board. If you have chosen for a secure booting configuration in your boot loader, this kernel image must be compatible with your boot loader.

To download the Tizen kernel source package, see Getting Source Code and Build. Set up or modify your kernel configuration, use the appropriate defconfig file from arch/arm/configs/ (ARM CPU).

For more detailed information about Tizen kernel configuration and kernel building, see Kernel Build.

Note
Tizen uses INOTIFY instead of DNOTIFY. You must disable DNOTIFY from your kernel configuration.

If you want to use initramfs, you can use these configurations:

• CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE
• CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID
• CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID
• CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE/GZIP/BZIP2/LZNA/LZO

System

Partition and Filesystem

Tizen Partition Layout

The following description is an example of the Tizen partition layout. The product vendor can modify the sequence or partition layout for their devices as needed.

1. The boot partition includes the kernel image, boot-loader image, and modem image. Additionally, it can contain device driver modules.
2. The rootfs partition is mounted on the root directory. It contains fundamental frameworks for Tizen and some general utilities for Linux.
3. The system-data partition is mounted on the /opt directory and it includes the platform database and platform configurations.
4. The user partition can be mounted on the /opt/usr directory separately. The partition includes applications and data installed by user.
5. External storage are mounted on /opt/media.
6. The image files (rootfs.img, system-data.img, and user.img) can be zipped for downloading, such as <IMAGE_NAME>.tar.gz.

According to the partition layout, the /etc/fstab directory must be modified or the systemd mount units must be added properly. For the purpose, the fstab file or specific system mount unit files for the device must be added in the system-plugin git. The following example shows the fstab file.

/dev/root         /               ext4    defaults,noatime 0      1
LABEL=system-data /opt            ext4    defaults,noatime 0      2
LABEL=user        /opt/usr        ext4    defaults,noatime 0      3

Supported Filesystems in Tizen

Filesystems that Tizen supports Extended 4 (Ext 4) file-system, which is configured as the default file-system. The Tizen kernel has to be compiled to enable support for the other file systems like JFS, XFS, BTRFS, and Reiserfs. The following configuration option must be enabled in the kernel configuration file. 

• CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
• CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
• CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y
• CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

File-system Hierarchy Standard in Tizen

The Tizen directory hierarchy intends to follow the FHS as possible for compatibility as a member of Linux world. However, Tizen uses the /opt directory for Tizen specific purposes Tizen recommends that whole RW data places to the /opt directory.

Directory macros are provided for accessing Tizen specific directory by Tizen Platform Configuration Metafile. The following table lists the example macros.

Directory macros	Real path
TZ_SYS_DATA	/opt/data
TZ_SYS_SHARE	/opt/share
TZ_SYS_VAR	/opt/var

System Framework

The System framework module abstracts low level system functions and manages the Tizen system.

• systemd requirements for system and service management
  • Linux Kernel >= 3.4 , Linux Kernel >= 3.8 for Smack support
  • CONFIG_CGROUPS, CONFIG_TIMERFD, CONFIG_SIGNALFD, CONFIG_EPOLL, ...
• Basic resource requirements (such as cpu, memory) usage management
  • Linux Kernel >= 3.10 for VMPRESSURE, Linux Kernel >= 3.8 for MEMCG SWAP
  • CONFIG_CGROUPS, CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, CONFIG_MEMCG, CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, ...
• deviced requirements for device and power management
  • Device HAL layer porting
• dlog requirements
  • Selecting a proper backend for target environment and enable appropriate kernel feature
    1. Additional KMSG Patch for Multiple Kmsg Backend
    2. Android Logger Driver for Android Log Backend
    3. User Space Logger Dameon

It is recommended to use Linux Kernel 3.10 or above.

systemd

systemd (ver.219), is system and service manager for Tizen system. Basically, systemd provides a lot of functionality such as parallesized service execution, socket and D-Bus activation for starting services and daemon, on-demand starting of deamons, managing the service processes as a group using Linux cgroup, supporting automount points, snapshotting and restoring of services.

The core of systemd manages all units, such as service, socket, and mount. It stores all log data. When developers add a new service daemon, they need to provide proper system units and unit dependency.

systemd requires to enable the cgroup and autofs options in the Linux Kernel configuration. It also depends on dbus and some libraries.

resourced

resourced is a daemon managing system resources such as memory and cpu.

• To use most of the resourced functionality, you have to enable kernel feature about cgroup
  • CONFIG_CGROUPS: Base feature
  • CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED: Controls the CPU share of applications
  • CONFIG_MEMCG: Selects the victim in the low memory situation
  • CONFIG_FREEZER: Freezes background (and idle) applications
  • CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED: Adds swap management features to memory resource controller. Depends on CONFIG_MEMCG and CONFIG_SWAP.
  • CONFIG_ZRAM: Creates memory-backed compressed block devices /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, …). Depends on CONFIG_ZSMALLOC.
  • CONFIG_ZRAM_LZ4_COMPRESS: Enables support for an alternative compression algorithm. By default, ZRAM uses Lempel–Ziv–Oberhumer (LZO).
  • CONFIG_ZSWAP: Compresses data in memory before moving them to a storage device.
  • CRYPTO_DEFLATE, CRYPTO_ZLIB, CRYPTO_LZO, CRYPTO_LZ4, CRYPTO_LZ4HC: Compression algorithms available as part of kernel cyrpto API.

Note
For using resourced freezer feature, you need to install the freezer plugin by enabling CONFIG_FREEZER.

deviced

The deviced is a daemon which handles the device events, such as the battery level and plug and play device status and provides the interfaces to manage devices such as power, display, and external storages. Each functionality may require HAL layer if your BSP does not provide the Linux kernel standard interface.

• Managing the LCD backlight state (on/off/dim)
• Managing the CPU sleep state and handling the requests lock CPU not to sleep
• Monitoring the external devices, such as USB cable, earjack, and charger
• Monitoring the battery level
• Managing the external storages, such as SD card and USB storages
• Playing and handling the vibrator
• Setting USB configurations to connect to the host PC
• Powering off the LED, IR, and other features
• Using the device HAL to handle devices and get events

dlog

Tizen provides 3 backends for logging system:

• Multiple kmsg backend

Requires a kernel patch. For information, see https://lwn.net/Articles/677047/.

• Android-logger backend

Utilizes the Android logger driver.

• User logger backend

No requirement (you do not have to enable anything out of dlog)

Porting Smart Development Bridge (SDB)

SDB is a device management tool used for remote shell command, file transfer, controlling device log out, and USB debugging.

• Kernel driver is necessary to use sdb. The following are examples of the kernel drivers:

https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=profile/mobile/platform/kernel/linux-3.10-sc7730.git;a=blob;f=drivers/usb/gadget/slp.c;h=c0d935f5362cc5ae03807d3533fe84df88e8c354;hb=refs/heads/accepted/tizen_mobile

https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=profile/mobile/platform/kernel/linux-3.10-sc7730.git;a=blob;f=drivers/usb/gadget/f_sdb.c;h=7f334ba01139d6bcbe7668bd84582e078d563638;hb=refs/heads/accepted/tizen_mobile

• The USB interface descriptor of SDB interface on the target device must have the following information to recognize the target as a kind of Tizen device.

Class: 0xff
SubClass: 0x20
Protocol: 0x02

• If multi-configuration is used, the SDB client of the host PC (Linux PC) selects the first configuration. SDB must be located on the first configuration on the target with multi-configuration system.

• External Connector Class (extcon) needs to be ported to the kernel to recognize the USB cable connection. If extcon cannot be ported, the following shell command can be used to enable SDB.

/usr/bin/direct_set_debug.sh --sdb-set

Porting Device HAL Interface

The device HAL is applied for the hardware independent platform. The device HAL consists of libraries corresponding to hardware, such as display, external connector, battery, LED, and IR. The HAL is used by deviced to control hardware and manages the events of device state changes. deviced (device daemon) opens the implemented libraries and uses the APIs to control the devices.

OEM developers must implement the API defined in the header files of the libdevice-node package and compile their libraries (.so file) for their devices.

The following code snippet shows the device HAL structure.

#define MAKE_TAG_CONSTANT(A,B,C,D) (((A) << 24) | ((B) << 16) | ((C) << 8) | (D))
#define HARDWARE_INFO_TAG MAKE_TAG_CONSTANT('T','H','I','T')

struct hw_common;
struct hw_info {
    /* magic must be initialized to HARDWARE_INFO_TAG */
    uint32_t magic;
    /* HAL version */
    uint16_t hal_version;
    /* Device version */
    uint16_t device_version;
    /* Device ID */
    const char *id;
    /* Device name */
    const char *name;
    /* Author name */
    const char *author;
    /* Module's dynamic shared object */
    void *dso;
    /* Reserved for future use */
    uint32_t reserved[8];
    /* Open device */
    int (*open)(struct hw_info *info, const char *id, struct hw_common **common);
    /* Close device */
    int (*close)(struct hw_common *common);
};

struct hw_common {
    /* Indicate to this device information structure */
    struct hw_info *info;
};

Battery HAL

The battery HAL provides functions to get the battery status. The HAL interface is defined in the hw/battery.h header file of the libdevice-node library, and the pkg-config device-node must be used to use the HAL interface.

The following code snippet shows the battery HAL interface.

/*
   Device ID
*/
#define BATTERY_HARDWARE_DEVICE_ID "battery"

#define POWER_SOURCE_NONE "none"
#define POWER_SOURCE_AC "ac"
#define POWER_SOURCE_USB "usb"
#define POWER_SOURCE_WIRELESS "wireless"
 
/*
   Device version 
*/
#define BATTERY_HARDWARE_DEVICE_VERSION MAKE_VERSION(0,1)

struct battery_info {
    char *name; /* "display" */
    char *status; /* "Charging", "Discharging", "Full", "Not charging" */
    char *health; /* "Good", "Cold", "Dead", "Overheat", "Over voltage" */
    char *power_source; /* "ac", "usb", "wireless" */
    int online; /* 0 ~ */
    int present; /* 0 or 1 */
    int capacity; /* 0 ~ 100 */
    int current_now; /* Current (uA). Positive value if power source is connected, negative value if power source is not connected */
    int current_average; /* Average curretn (uA). Positive value if power source is connected, negative value if power source is not connected */
};

typedef void (*BatteryUpdated)(struct battery_info *info, void *data);

struct battery_device {
    struct hw_common common;

    /* Register battery event */
    int (*register_changed_event)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb, void *data);
    void (*unregister_changed_event)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb);

    /* Get current states */
    int (*get_current_state)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb, void *data);
};

The following table lists the battery HAL functions.

Function prototype	Description
int (*register_changed_event)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb, void *data);	The function adds callback function which is called when battery status is changed.	Mandatory
void (*unregister_changed_event)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb);	The function removes the callback function added for the battery status event.	Mandatory
int (*get_current_state)(BatteryUpdated updated_cb, void *data);	The function calls the function provided as the first parameter. The battery information is delivered to the function parameter.	Mandatory

The following code snippet shows an example of the battery HAL.

Sensor Framework

Sensor devices are used widely in mobile devices to enhance user experience. Most modern mobile OSs have a framework which manages hardware and virtual sensors on the platform and provides convenient API to the application.

Types of Sensors

Sensors are classified as hardware and virtual sensors. Tizen supports individual HAL for the following sensors:

• Hardware sensors
  • Accelerometer
  • Geomagnetic sensor
  • Gyroscope
  • Light sensor
  • Proximity sensor
  • Pressure sensor
  • Ultraviolet sensor
  • Temperature sensor
  • Humidity sensor
  • HRM (Heart Rate Monitor)
  • HRM LED green sensor
  • HRM LED IR sensor
  • HRM LED red sensor
  • Uncalibrated geomagnetic sensor
  • Uncalibrated gyroscope sensor
  • Human pedometer
  • Human sleep monitor
  • Human sleep detector
  • Human stress monitor
• Virtual sensors
  • Orientation sensor
  • Gravity sensor
  • Linear acceleration sensor
  • Rotation vector sensor
  • Gyroscope rotation vector sensor
  • Geomagnetic rotation vector sensor

Architectural Overview

The sensor framework provides a sensor server for managing sensor HALs and a medium through which the client applications are connected to the sensor handler to exchange data.

The sensor HALs retrieve data from sensor hardware and enable the client applications to use the data form specific requirements.

Components of the Sensor Framework

Sensor Client Library

Any application that wants to access the sensor server and communicate with it must use the sensor API library. Using the Sensor API, the application can control sensors and receive sensor events from the sensor server.
As shown in the above diagram, any application or middleware framework, by using the sensor API, can have the sensor client library executing within its own process context.

Sensor Server

The sensor server is a daemon which communicates uniquely to multiple sensors (through drivers) in the system and dispatches sensor data or events back to the application.
The sensor server takes care of initializing the sensors during boot, driver configuration, sensor data fetching and delivery, and managing all sensors and client on the platform.

Sensor HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)

The sensor HAL, which is interfaced to the sensor server, takes care of interacting with the sensor drivers. HAL processes the data from the sensor drivers and communicates it to the server. Hardware sensors have to support HAL.
The sensor HAL is implemented as a shared library and the sensor_loader finds hal so library and loads it from the /usr/lib/sensor/ directory at booting time.

Porting HAL Interface

Sensor

Adding New Hardware Sensors

For porting new hardware sensors, the HAL library inherited sensor_device interface has to be implemented. You can find the HAL header files in git:sensord/src/hal.

The Tizen HAL sensor types are also defined in the sensor_hal_types.h header file under the names SENSOR_DEVICE_....

The following code snippet shows the interface of the sensor HAL in the sensor_hal.h header file.

/*
   Create devices
*/
typedef void *sensor_device_t;
typedef int (*create_t)(sensor_device_t **devices);

/*
   Sensor device interface
   1 device must be abstracted from 1 device event node
*/
class sensor_device {
public:
    virtual ~sensor_device() {}

    uint32_t get_hal_version(void)
    {
        return SENSOR_HAL_VERSION(1, 0);
    }

    virtual int get_poll_fd(void) = 0;
    virtual int get_sensors(const sensor_info_t **sensors) = 0;

    virtual bool enable(uint32_t id) = 0;
    virtual bool disable(uint32_t id) = 0;

    virtual int read_fd(uint32_t **ids) = 0;
    virtual int get_data(uint32_t id, sensor_data_t **data, int *length) = 0;

    virtual bool set_interval(uint32_t id, unsigned long val)
    {
        return true;
    }
    virtual bool set_batch_latency(uint32_t id, unsigned long val)
    {
        return true;
    }
    virtual bool set_attribute_int(uint32_t id, int32_t attribute, int32_t value)
    {
        return true;
    }
    virtual bool set_attribute_str(uint32_t id, int32_t attribute, char *value, int value_len)
    {
        return true;
    }
    virtual bool flush(uint32_t id)
    {
        return true;
    }
};

The following table shows the description of the sensor_device interface.

Sensorhub

The sensorhub HAL supports multiple sensors logically from 1 physical device file. In case many sensors are simultaneously supported by the single device file, the sensorhub HAL can be comprised so that it can operate each sensor as a logically separate device.

• Providing the sensor HAL interface to manufacturers/vendors through the sensor_hal.h and sensor_hal_types.h header files.
• Using just 1 thread for polling sensor events from multiple device files

The sensorhub HAL can be developed by using the sensor_device interface. An example of sensorhub HAL can be found in the sensor-hal-tm1/src/sensorhub git.

IDs can be assigned by the vendor or manufacturer for the sensorhub sensors by using the following sensor_info_t interface.

typedef struct sensor_info_t {                  
    uint32_t id;

The reference kernel configuration for sensors varies with different vendor types.
However, there is a standard kernel subsystem for sensors, that is IIO(The Industrial I/O subsystem) subsystem. IIO is intended to provide support for devices that in some sense are analog to digital or digital to analog.

Test and Verify Sensors

sensor-test package, which is in sensord git, provides a command line tool for testing sensors, that is sensorctl. after installing sensor-test package, you can test sensors by using following commands

• $ sensorctl test accelerometer
• $ sensorctl test gyroscope
• $ sensorctl test accelerometer 100 /* enable accelerometer with interval 100 ms */
• $ sensorctl test accelerometer 100 1000 /* enable accelerometer with interval 100 ms and 1s batch latency */
• $ sensorctl test accelerometer 100 1000 0 /* enable accelerometer with interval 100 ms, 1s batch latency and always on option */
• $ sensorctl info accelerometer /* retrieve accelerometer sensor information */

Overview

The application composes the graphic user interface by creating a window with toolkit. The display server composites application's windows and show the result on screen. For this procedure, the graphics and UI middleware offers the next 3 modules for client and server.

• Tizen Buffer Manager (TBM)
• Tizen Display Manager (TDM)
• TPL-EGL

These modules allow the client and server to render with the GPU, share buffers with other processes, and organize hardware output devices for various chipset devices. They are HAL for graphics and UI. Their backend module needs to be implemented for the new hardware device.

• Tizen Buffer Manager (TBM) provides the abstraction interface for the graphic buffer manager in Tizen.
• Tizen Display Manager (TDM) provides the abstraction interface for the display server, such like a X server and a wayland server, to allow the direct access to graphics hardware in a safe and efficient manner as a display HAL.
• TPL-EGL is an abstraction layer for surface and buffer management on Tizen platform aimed to implement the EGL porting layer of OpenGLES driver over various display protocols.

For an application to handle input device's events, the Input Manager is mainly comprised of libinput and a thin wrapper around it. It handles input events in wayland compositors and communicates with wayland clients.

Buffer Management

The TBM has a frontend libary and a backend module. The TBM frontend library is hardware-independent and provides the generic buffer interface for users. On the other hand, the TBM backend module is hardware-dependent and provides the buffer interface depended on the target system. The chipset vendors have to provide their own backend modules in order for the TBM to work well in Tizen platform. This is because the vendors' way to manage the graphic buffers can be different among various chipset devices. TBM already has several backends for reference, such as libtbm-dumb, and libtbm-shm.

With TBM, the client and server can allocate buffers and share it between them. For example, a client allocates a graphic buffer, draws something on it with GL and sends it to the display server for displaying it on the screen without buffer copying. The TBM backend module is implemented as a shared library and the TBM frontend finds the libtbm-default.so file and loads it from the /usr/lib/bufmgr directory at runtime.

Initialing the TBM backend module

The TBMModuleData is for the entry point symbol to initialize the TBM backend module. The TBM backend module must have to define the global data symbol with the name of tbmModuleData. The TBM frontend loads the tbmModuleData global data symbol and calls the init() function at the initial time.

Note
Do not change the name of the symbol in the TBM backend module.

/*
   @brief tbm module data
   Data type for the entry point of the backend module
*/
typedef struct {
    TBMModuleVersionInfo *vers;	/* TBM module information */
    ModuleInitProc init; /* init function of a backend module */
} TBMModuleData;

typedef int (*ModuleInitProc) (tbm_bufmgr, int);

At the initialization of the backend module, the backend module allocates the tbm_bufmgr_backend instance (tbm_backend_alloc), fills the information, and initializes the backend module to the TBM (tbm_backend_init).

tbm_bufmgr_backend tbm_backend_alloc(void);
void tbm_backend_free(tbm_bufmgr_backend backend);
int tbm_backend_init(tbm_bufmgr bufmgr, tbm_bufmgr_backend backend);

    if (!tbm_backend_init(bufmgr, bufmgr_backend))
    {
        tbm_backend_free(bufmgr_backend);
        free(bufmgr_shm);

Display Management

Read Tizen Display Manager (TDM) first to get the general information of TDM and TDM backend.

The display server composites and shows the client's buffers on screen. The display server sometimes needs to convert or scale an image to a different size or format. To make it possible for various chipset devices, the display server needs the display hardware resource information and control them. Tizen Display Manager (TDM) offers these functionalities for the display server with the unified interface for various chipset devices.

With TDM, the display server can do the mode setting, the DPMS control and showing a buffer (framebuffer or video buffer) on the screen in the most efficient way. If the hardware supports the m2m converting and capture device, the display server can also convert an image and dump a screen including all hardware overlays with no compositing.

The vendor has to implement the TDM backend module. The TDM backend module has the responsibility to let the TDM frontend know the display hardware resource information. The display server gets this information and control hardware devices via the TDM frontend APIs. TDM already has several backends for reference, such as libtdm-drm and libtdm-fbdev.

The TDM backend is implemented as a shared library and the TDM frontend finds the libtdm-default.so file and loads it in the /usr/lib/tdm directory at runtime.

sh-3.2# ls -l /usr/lib/tdm
total 40
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    14 Jul 28  2016 libtdm-default.so -> libtdm-drm.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37152 Jul 12  2016 libtdm-drm.so

The TDM backend module must define the global data symbol with the name tdm_backend_module_data. The TDM frontend reads this symbol at the initialization time. TDM calls the init() function of the tdm_backend_module_data. For more information, see tdm_backend.h.

typedef struct _tdm_backend_module {
    const char *name; /* The module name of the backend module */
    const char *vendor; /* The vendor name of the backend module */
    unsigned long abi_version; /* The ABI version of the backend module */
    tdm_backend_data *(*init)(tdm_display *dpy, tdm_error *error);
    void (*deinit)(tdm_backend_data *bdata);
} tdm_backend_module;

#include <tdm_backend.h>

static tdm_drm_data *drm_data;

tdm_backend_data*
tdm_drm_init(tdm_display *dpy, tdm_error *error)
{
    drm_data = calloc(1, sizeof(tdm_drm_data));

    return (tdm_backend_data*)drm_data;
}

void
tdm_drm_deinit(tdm_backend_data *bdata)
{
    free(bdata);
}

tdm_backend_module tdm_backend_module_data =
{
    "drm",  
    "Samsung",
    TDM_BACKEND_SET_ABI_VERSION(1,1),
    tdm_drm_init,
    tdm_drm_deinit
};

The TDM backend must register the tdm_func_display(), tdm_func_output(), and tdm_func_layer() functions with the tdm_backend_register_func_display(), tdm_backend_register_func_output(), and tdm_backend_register_func_layer() functions in the tdm_backend_module_data init() function.

#include <tdm_backend.h>

tdm_backend_data*
tdm_drm_init(tdm_display *dpy, tdm_error *error)
{
    memset(&drm_func_display, 0, sizeof(drm_func_display));
    drm_func_display.display_get_capability = drm_display_get_capability;
    drm_func_display.display_get_pp_capability = drm_display_get_pp_capability;
    drm_func_display.display_get_outputs = drm_display_get_outputs;
    drm_func_display.display_get_fd = drm_display_get_fd;
    drm_func_display.display_handle_events = drm_display_handle_events;
    drm_func_display.display_create_pp = drm_display_create_pp;
    ret = tdm_backend_register_func_display(dpy, &drm_func_display);
    if (ret != TDM_ERROR_NONE)
        goto failed;

    memset(&drm_func_output, 0, sizeof(drm_func_output));
    drm_func_output.output_get_capability = drm_output_get_capability;
    
    ret = tdm_backend_register_func_output(dpy, &drm_func_output);
    if (ret != TDM_ERROR_NONE)
        goto failed;

    memset(&drm_func_layer, 0, sizeof(drm_func_layer));
    drm_func_layer.layer_get_capability = drm_layer_get_capability;

    ret = tdm_backend_register_func_layer(dpy, &drm_func_layer);
    if (ret != TDM_ERROR_NONE)
        goto failed;

    return (tdm_backend_data*)drm_data;
}

After loading the TDM backend module, the TDM frontend calls the display_get_capability(), display_get_outputs(), output_get_capability(), output_get_layers(), and layer_get_capability() functions to get the hardware specific information. That is, the TDM backend module must implement these 5 functions.

In addition, if a target has a memory-to-memory converting hardware device and the capture hardware device, the TDM backend module can register the tdm_func_pp() and tdm_func_capture() functions with the tdm_backend_register_func_pp() and tdm_backend_register_func_capture() functions.

Porting OAL Interface

TDM provides the header files to implement the TDM backend module.

Header file	Description
tdm_backend.h	This file defines the TDM backend interface.
tdm_log.h	This file to print logs in frontend and backend modules.
tdm_helper.h	This file to help TDM backend/frontend user to implement.

The display backend interface is mandatory. For more information, see tdm_backend.h.

Function	Description
display_get_capability()	Gets the display capabilities of the backend module. TDM calls this function not only at the initialization, but also at the update time when new output is connected. If the hardware has the restriction of the number of max usable layer count, the backend module can set the max count to max_layer_count of the tdm_caps_display structure. Otherwise, set -1.	Mandatory
display_get_pp_capability()	Gets the pp capabilities of the backend module. TDM calls this function not only at the initialization, but also at the update time when new output is connected. The backend module does not need to implement this function if the hardware does not have the memory-to-memory converting device. Otherwise, the backend module must fill the tdm_caps_pp data. The tdm_caps_pp contains the hardware restriction information which a converting device can handle, such as format and size.	Optional
display_get_capture_capability()	Gets the capture capabilities of the backend module. TDM calls this function not only at the initialization, but also at the update time when new output is connected.

How to test the porting result simply

Basically TDM offers the tdm-test-server tool for developers to test the porting result. tdm-test-server tool is included in libtdm-tools package. libtdm-tools package can be downloaded from which the platform binary's snapshot repository. Make sure that porting TBM should be done before using below commands because TDM works base on TBM.

$ systemctl stop display-manager  (stop the display server)
$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run
$ export TBM_DISPLAY_SERVER=1
$ tdm-test-server                 (show all options)
$ tdm-test-server -a              (test all layers)
$ tdm-test-server -a -v           (test all layers with vblank events)

Below is the result of tdm-test-server -a. The fullscreen buffer is set to the PRIMARY layer. And the small buffer is set to the OVERLAY layer.

How to check TDM log messages

TDM uses dlog to print debug messages. Below command shows TDM runtime log messages.

$ dlogutil -v threadtime TDM

OpenGL

This document describes the essential elements of Tizen's platform-level graphics architecture related to OpenGL ES and EGL, and how it is used by the application framework and the display server. The focus is on how graphical data buffers move through the system.

Tizen platform requires the OpenGL ES driver for the acceleration of the Wayland display server and wayland-egl client. This platform demands OpenGL ES and EGL driver which is implemented by the Tizen EGL Porting Layer.

Tizen OpenGL ES and EGL Architecture

The following figure illustrates the Tizen OpenGL ES and EGL architecture.

CoreGL

An injection layer of OpenGL ES that provides the following capabilities:

• Support for driver-independent optimization (FastPath)
• EGL/OpenGL ES debugging
• Performance logging
• Supported versions
  • EGL 1.4
  • OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1

CoreGL loads the manufacturer's OpenGL ES driver from the /usr/lib/driver directory. CoreGL provides the libEGL.so, libGLESv1_CM.so, and libGLESvs.so driver files in the /usr/lib directory.

GPU Vendor GL / EGL driver

The Tizen platform demands that the GPU vendor implements the GL and EGL driver using libtpl-egl. The GPU vendor GL / EGL driver must be installed in the following path:

Library path	File
/usr/lib/driver	libEGL.so libGLESv1_CM.so libGLESv2.so

Tizen Porting Layer (TPL) for EGL

TPL-EGL is an abstraction layer for surface and buffer management on Tizen platform. It is used for implementation of the EGL platform functions.

The background for the Tizen EGL Porting Layer for EGL is in various window system protocols in Tizen. There was a need for separating common layer and backend.

Tizen uses the Tizen Porting Layer for EGL, as the TPL-EGL APIs prevents burdens of the EGL porting on various window system protocols. The GPU GL Driver’s Window System Porting Layer can be implemented by TPL-EGL APIs which are the corresponding window system APIs. The TBM, Wayland, and GBM backends are supported.

Tizen Porting Layer for EGL Object Model

TPL-EGL provides interfaces based of object driven model. Every TPL-EGL object can be represented as a generic tpl_object_t, which is reference-counted and provides common functions. Currently, display and surface types of TPL-EGL objects are provided. Display, like normal display, represents a display system which is usually used for connection to the server. Surface corresponds to a native surface like wl_surface. A surface might be configured to use N-buffers, but is usually double-buffered or triple-buffered. Buffer is actually something to render on, usually a set of pixels or a block of memory. For these 2 objects, the Wayland, GBM, TBM backend are defined, and they are corresponding to their own window systems. This means that you do not need to care about the window systems.

TPL-EGL Core Object

TPL-EGL Object

Base class for all TPL-EGL objects

TPL-EGL Display

Encapsulates the native display object (Display *, wl_display) Like a normal display, represents a display system which is usually used for connection to the server, scope for other objects.

TPL-EGL Surface

Encapsulates the native drawable object (Window, Pixmap, wl_surface) The surface corresponds to a native surface, such as tbm_surface_queue or wl_surface. A surface can be configured to use N-buffers, but they are usually double-buffered or triple-buffered.

TPL-EGL Objects and Corresponding EGL Objects

Both TPL-EGL and vendor GLES/EGL driver handles the tbm_surface as TPL surface's corresponding buffer. It is represented by the TBM_Surface part in the following figure.

The following figure illustrates the GLES drawing API flow.

TPL-EGL Frontend API

TPL-EGL Object

This is the base class for all TPL-EGL objects. It provides common functionalities to all TPL-EGL objects.

Function	Description
tpl_object_reference()	Increases the reference count of a TPL-EGL object. All TPL-EGL objects are reference-counted. They have reference count 1 on creatation. When the reference count drops to 0, the object is freed.
tpl_object_unreference()	Decreases the reference count and destroys the object if it becomes 0.
tpl_object_get_reference()	Gets the reference count of the given TPL-EGL object.
tpl_object_get_type()	Gets the type of the object (display, surface, or buffer).
tpl_object_set_user_data()	Sets the user data to a TPL-EGL object. Users want to relate some data with a TPL-EGL object. This function provides registering a pointer to such data which can be retrieved later using the tpl_object_get_user_data() function. The key is the pointer value itself as a key.
tpl_object_get_user_data()	Gets the registered user data of a TPL-EGL object.

The object type is as follows, and each object is defined when it is created.

typedef enum {
    TPL_BACKEND_ERROR = -1,
    TPL_OBJECT_DISPLAY,
    TPL_OBJECT_SURFACE,
    TPL_BACKEND_MAX
} tpl_object_type_t;

TPL-EGL Display

Encapsulates the native display object (Display *, wl_display). Any other objects created from TPL-EGL Display inherit its backend type.

Function	Description
tpl_display_create()	Creates the TPL-EGL display object for the given native display. Creates a TPL-EGL display if there is no existing TPL-EGL display for the given native display. If given NULL for native_dpy, this function returns the default display. It must be called at least once at the eglInitialize time. This function must be called before calling tpl_display_get(), and the same TPL-EGL display will be returned if this function is called multiple times with one native_dpy. In this function, the backend of TPL-EGL display corresponding to tpl_backend_type is initialized. If type is TPL_BACKEND_UNKNOWN, it finds the backend for native_dpy and sets it. The ref count of the newly created TPL-EGL display object is '1', and is destroyed by calling tpl_object_unreference().
tpl_display_get()	Gets the TPL-EGL display object for the given native_dpy. If there is an existing TPL-EGL display for the given native display, it returns the TPL-EGL display.
tpl_display_get_native_handle()	Gets the native display handle which the given TPL-EGL display is created for.
tpl_display_query_config()	Queries the supported pixel formats for the given TPL-EGL display. You might want to know what pixel formats are available on the given display. This function is used to query such available pixel formats. Give TPL_DONT_CARE to parameters for size values if any values are acceptable.
tpl_display_filter_config()	Filters the configuration according to a given TPL-EGL display. This function modifies current config specific to the current given TPL-EGL display.
tpl_display_get_native_window_info()	Queries information on the given native window.
tpl_display_get_native_pixmap_info()	Queries information on the given native pixmap.
tpl_display_get_buffer_from_native_pixmap()	Gets the native buffer from the given native pixmap. It can be used when the server needs to know the actual buffer from the client's resources.

TPL-EGL Surface

Encapsulates the native drawable object (Window, Pixmap, wl_surface). Its main features are retrieving the buffer for a frame and posting the surface to a screen.

Function	Description
tpl_surface_create()	Creates a TPL-EGL surface, which type is tpl_surface_type, for the given native_wnd. typedef enum { TPL_BACKEND_ERROR = -1, TPL_SURFACE_TYPE_WINDOW, TPL_SURFACE_TYPE_PIXMAP, TPL_BACKEND_MAX } tpl_surface_type_t; This function can be called from eglCreateWindowSurface or eglCreatePixmapSurface and should be called first among the APIs of TPL-EGL surface. Obtain a backend that is active through TPL-EGL display and then perform a surface initializing on the same backend. Wayland_egl backend, a tbm_surface_queue is created in the backend in the given format. The ref count of the newly created TPL-EGL surface object is 1, and is destroyed by calling tpl_object_unreference().
tpl_surface_get_display()	Gets the TPL-EGL display where the given TPL-EGL surface was created from.
tpl_surface_get_native_handle()	Gets the native surface handle of the given TPL-EGL surface.
tpl_surface_get_type()	Gets the type of the given TPL surface.
tpl_surface_get_size()	Gets the current size of the given TPL-EGL surface. Size of a surface can change when a user resizes window or the server resizes it. TPL-EGL updates the size information every time when a buffer is queried using the tpl_surface_dequeue_buffer() function. Consider that there can still be mismatch between actual surface size and the cached one.
tpl_surface_validate()	Validates the current frame of the given TPL-EGL surface and determines if a new buffer should be obtained because tbm_surface_queue has been reset or whether the native_wnd has been resized. If the return value of this function is TPL_TRUE, it means no update, and TPL_FALSE means that the update occurred. Call this function before getting the actual final render target buffer. If the return value of this function is TPL_FALSE, you must call tpl_surface_dequeue_buffer() to get a new validate buffer. Buffer returned after calling this function is guaranteed to be not changing.
tpl_surface_dequeue_buffer()	Dequeue the buffer of the current frame for the given TPL-EGL surface. This function returns buffer of the current frame and that type is tbm_surface_h. The tbm_surface_queue is basically run with three tbm_surfaces, and the render finished buffer must be enqueued back to the tbm_surface_queue via tpl_surface_enqueue_buffer(). Each time this function is called, another idle tbm_surface is returned. If no more tbm_surfaces are available in the queue, wait until there is an available tbm_surface in this function. Depending on backend, communication with the server can be required. Returned buffers are used for rendering the target to draw the current frame. Returned buffers are valid until the next tpl_surface_dequeue_buffer() function call. If the tpl_surface_validate() function returns TPL_FALSE, the previously returned buffers must no longer be used. This function is called again before drawing, and it returns a valid buffer. To ensure the life cycle of tbm_surface, this function internally increases the reference count of tbm_surface, but it is better to increase the ref count of tbm_surface returned by the caller of this function.
tpl_surface_enqueue_buffer()	Enqueues a given tbm_surface to the tbm_surface_queue. The tbm_surface must be dequeued one, and it should be equeued in the dequeued order. If the caller of this function increased the reference count of dequeued tbm_surface, caller should also decrease the reference count of tbm_surface after this function. This function request to presenter to post a frame. Scheduling post calls on a separate thread is recommended. Make sure this function is called exactly once for a frame.
tpl_surface_enqueue_buffer_with_damage()	Enqueues a given tbm_surface with region of damage. Damage information is used for reducing number of pixels composited in the compositor. Setting the num_rects to 0 or rects to NULL means entire area is damaged. This function request to presenter to post a frame. Scheduling post calls on a separate thread is recommended. This function is identical with the tpl_surface_enqueue_buffer() function except for delivering the damage information for updating. Make sure this function is called exactly once for a frame.
tpl_surface_set_post_interval()	The frame interval ensures that only a single frame is posted within the specified vsync intervals. When a frame ends, the frame interval is set to the surface's current interval.
tpl_surface_get_post_interval()	Get frame interval of the given TPL-EGL surface.

The following code snippet shows a simple example of the Tizen Porting Layer.

dpy = tpl_display_create(...);
sfc = tpl_surface_create(dpy, ...);

while (1)
{
    buf = tpl_surface_dequeue_buffer(sfc);

    /* Draw something */

    tpl_surface_enqueue_buffer(sfc, buf);
}

In the GPU vendor driver, the "Draw something" part is what the GPU frame builder does. TPL-EGL exposes the native platform buffer identifiers and managers so that the buffer can be used in other modules. Currently, dma_buf/DRM is supported for these of purposes. EGL porting layer calls TPL-EGL functions to do what it is requested, and gives the result to the GPU vendor driver. TPL-EGL does all the protocol dependent actions. Such protocol dependent part can be well-separated into TPL-EGL backends. Also, TPL-EGL backend can be configured at runtime. You can specify which type of backend to use when initializing a display object.

TPL-EGL and Wayland Server and Client

Tizen uses the wl_tbm protocol instead of wl_drm. The wl_tbm protocol is born for sharing the buffer(tbm_surface) between the wayland_client and wayland_server. Although the wayland_tbm_server_init and wayland_tbm_client_init pair is a role for the eglBindWaylandDisplayWL, the EGL driver is required to implement the entrypoints for the eglBindWaylandDisplayWL and eglUnbindWaylandDisplayWL as dummy. For more information, see https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/specs/WL_bind_wayland_display.spec.

Buffer Flow Between the Wayland Server and GLES/EGL Driver

The following figure shows the buffer flow between wayland server and GLES/EGL Driver. And passed buffer's type is tbm_surface.

Radio

The radio interface part of the multimedia framework supports APIs to implement the following FM radio features.

• Tune a frequency
• Get and set a frequency
• Scan all available frequencies
• Seek up and down
• Get the frequency signal

The interfaces to control the radio device are different to each other. Therefore, Tizen provides the Radio Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to control various radio devices with a common interface. With the common interface, you can control the radio device on various chipsets used by the libmm-radio.

Porting OAL Interface

The OAL interface for FM radio is the radio HAL interfaces.

Radio HAL

The mm-hal-interface package provides the radio HAL header file.

• Repository path: platform/core/multimedia/mm-hal-interface
• File name: tizen-radio.h

The OAL interface for FM radio is the Linux kernel V4L2 interface. The radio module directly uses the V4L2 ioctls to perform various radio hardware configurations.

The reference section explains the V4L2 interfaces used by the FM radio interface.

Player

The multimedia player framework controls the player plugins (demuxer, codecs, and renderer plugins) of the GStreamer to play media content. The kernel interfaces to control codecs can be different for different chipsets, so the corresponding codec plugins must be implemented specifically for each chipset.

Porting OAL Interface

There is no specific OAL for the multimedia player framework. As part OAL interface, the player plugins consists of the gst-omx codec plugins and video/audio renderer plugins. For details of the gst-omx plugin details, see Porting OAL Interface (Codecs). For more information about Avsystem for audio, see Audio), and Wayland (UI-framework) for display, see Video.

Configuration

• Configuration file
  • The multimedia player framework uses the mmfw_player.ini configuration file to set various parameters for selecting different codecs and display plugins.
  • The mmfw_player.ini configuration file is provided by the mmfw-sysconf-xxx package.
  • In the final stage of development, the permission for this file needs to be changed to read-only.
• Configuring the player
  • File name: mmfw_player.ini
  • 1 player.ini file is needed in each board (or model).
  • Codec plugins for this board are located in the /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0 directory. Changing the codec plugin does not mean modifying this .ini file because the player supports the auto plugin feature.
• As needed, the following setting values can be used:
  • Exclude keyword element

    Having many codec plugins with the same rank and same feature causes problems in selecting the codec you want. Add the plugin name to exclude unwanted plugins.

    Setting this general selection keyword means that these codec plugins do not link in the player pipeline. The default value is ffdec_

    If you want to use the ffmpeg software codec plugin for testing, you can remove this ffdec_ keyword.

  • Audio filter

    By default, the software audio effect plugins based on arm architecture are used. If the platform is set to another architecture process, this value needs to be set to false. Making and using such a plugin is under review.

Codec

The following figure illustrates the codecs and their relations. It shows 2 types of codec plugins, the Gstreamer and OpenMAX.

• Gstreamer codec plugin
  • The Gstreamer codec plugin can be linked and used easily to the Gstreamer pipeline, which is used in the multimedia framework.
• OpenMAX codec plugin
  • Some of the codec vendors provide OpenMAX IL components and not Gstreamer plugins. Tizen provides the gst-omx plugins to use the OpenMAX IL components. The Gstreamer pipeline used in the multimedia framework can control and transfer data to OpenMAX IL component using the gst-omx plugin.

Description of each codec component

• Gstreamer codec plugin

  The following figure shows an example of the decoder codec plugin provided as a Gstreamer element. If the codec plugin is provided, the player can link this plugin to its pipeline immediately. For detailed information about Gstreamer usage, see References.

  

  • In addition, to link a Gstreamer pipeline, the capability of the codec plugin can be negotiated with the linked element in the pipeline.
  • To get detailed information, such as the capability of an element, use the #gst-inspect-1.0 (element name) command.

    

• OpenMAX component codec plugin

  The following figure shows the example of decoder codec plugin, which is provided as an OpenMAX component type.

  

  • To use the OpenMAX component in Gstreamer, the gst-omx (open source) package is provided. By using this package, Gstreamer can recognize and use an OpenMAX component as a Gstreamer element. gst-omx is a Gstreamer plugin that allows communication with OpenMAX IL components. The usage of the gst-omx plugin is the same as other Gstreamer plugins.
  • For more detailed information about this plugin, see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/GstOpenMAX. For more information about OpenMAX IL, see http://www.khronos.org/openmax/.
  • The gst-omx plugin refers to a gstomx.conf configuration file. This file is included in the gst-omx package, and installed to the /etc/xdg/gst-omx.conf directory in the target device.

Porting OAL Interface

OpenMAX component codec plugin

An industry standard that provides an abstraction layer for computer graphics, video, and sound routines. The interface abstracts the hardware and software architecture in the system. The OpenMAX IL API allows the user to load, control, connect, and unload the individual components. This flexible core architecture allows the Integration Layer to easily implement almost any media use case and mesh with existing graph-based media frameworks. The key focus of the OpenMAX IL API is portability of media components OpenMAX IL interfaces between media framework, such as GStreamer and a set of multimedia components (such as an audio or video codecs). gst-omx is a GStreamer plug-in package that allows communication with OpenMAX IL components. The gst-omx structuring is classified into different object classes based on the functionality. The following is the object structuring of a video decoder plugin in gst-omx.

The GstVideoDecoder base class is for video decoders provide encoded data to derived GstOMXVideoDec and each input frame is provided in turn to the subclass's handle_frame callback. The GstVideoDecoder base class and derived subclass cooperate in the following way:

1. Configuration
   • GstVideoDecoder calls the start() function when the decoder element is activated.
   • GstVideoDecoder calls the set_format() function to inform the subclass of caps describing input video data
2. Data processing
   • Each input frame is provided in turn to the subclass's handle_frames() function.
   • The subclass calls the gst_video_decoder_finish_frame() or gst_video_decoder_drop_frame() function.
3. Shutdown phase
   • The GstVideoDecoer class calls the stop() function.

Configuration

OpenMAX component codec plugin

The gst-omx plugin refers to a configuration file, such as gstomx.conf. This file is included in the gst-omx package, and installed in the /etc/xdg/gstomx.conf directory on the target device. The gstomx.conf file needs to change appropriately, according to vendors which provide OpenMAX component. The following figures lists the values of each item in the lists separated by commas. Each Gstreamer element is separated by a semicolon.

The following figure shows an example.

Each value needs to be changed appropriately, according to vendors who provide the OpenMAX component. When you are finished with these settings, the result is a Gstreamer type codec plugin, and you can test the codec the same way.

• Using the codec plugin in the player
  • Because the player uses auto plugging, it does not need an additional setting.
    • If the decoder plugin has an acceptable capability, this plugin can be linked with a player pipeline in order of rank.
    • If the codec name is included in the excluded keyword in the /usr/etc/mmfw_player.ini file (mmfw-sysconf package), it is excluded in the player pipeline.
• Using the codec plugin in the camcorder
  • Because the camcorder clarified its audio, video, and image encoder in the /usr/etc/mmfw_camcorder.ini file (mmfw-sysconf package), you need to change this category value to set your own codec name.

Videosink

Description

Videosink renders video frames buffer from previous gst-element on a local display using the wayland (from tizen3.0). So videosink of TIZEN is waylandsink. It is used with camera or player that require video output. This element can receive a surface id of window from the application through the GstVideoOverlay interface (set_wl_window_wl_surface_id) and will render video frame in this window. If no surface id was provided by the application, the element will create its own internal window and render into it.

Video Rendering Process

The figure below shows the video rendering process in the player. The white box is gstreamer element. GstBuffer is streaming from filesrc to waylandsink past the video codec. The GstBuffer is TBM or SHM.

Waylandsink requests the rendering of the video frame to window's wl_surface. so Waylandsink need wl_surface of wayland window which is created by Application. Because the Application and Muse are in different process bounds, Application can not pass the wl_surface pointer to Muse. To solve this problem, TIZEN use the surface id, integer value. Application sends a wl_surface pointer to Window server, Window server returns the grobal surface id to Application and Application passes this value to Waylandsink using GstVideoOverlay interface, set_wl_window_wl_surface_id (TIZEN special). (Step 1, 2, and 3.) Waylandsink create wl_display to communicate with Window server. Normally Window client use the wl_display created by the App, but TIZEN waylandsink create its own wl_display dut to process bounds issue.(Step 4). Now Waylandsink can receive events from the server and bind to various interfaces using wl_registry. Waylandsink uses wl_display to create wl_window and a wl_subsurface using the grobal surface id passed through the GstVideoOverlay interface. wl_surface is created by wl_compositor of wl_display.(Step 5). Application can use the waylandsink property to change video rendering conditions.(Step 6). The rendering conditions is changed via wl_subsurface. GstBuffer received from Video codec is converted to wl_buffer and then wl_surface of wl_window is requested to render the video frame to the Window Server through attach, damage and commit process.(Step 7 and 8). Window Server render wl_buffer.(Step 9). Rendering done signal comes to wl_callback of wl_window when Window Server finishes rendering the video frame, and wl_buffer release event comes to wl_buffer_listener's callback function.(Step 10 and 11). Now, Waylandsink can un_ref GstBuffer created by Video Codec and GstBuffer is retreved to the Video Codec. Sometimes it is necessary to return a GstBuffer while maintaining the video frame rendered in the window(Gapless playback, keep camera preview). In this case, use FlushBuffer. FlushBuffer is a wl_buffer created after copying TBM from GstBuffer coming from Video codec. Waylandsink return GstBuffer to Video Codec immediately, and rendering FlushBuffer request is made to the Window Server. For more information on wayland, see the link (https://wayland.freedesktop.org/). For programming the wayland-client, see the link (https://jan.newmarch.name/Wayland/index.html).

Porting OAL Interface

There is no specific OAL for Videosink.

Features added to Waylandsink for TIZEN

Check the original waylandsink behavior

Waylandsink's video rendering test can be easily verified by connecting to videotestsrc via gst-launch. If the video test screen does not appear, Window system should be ported first. (9.2 Display Management).

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! waylandsink

Waylandsink Requirement for TIZEN

Open source waylandsink use wayland-client, but Waylandsink for TIZEN use libtbm, wayland-tbm-client and tizen-extension-client to support MMFW's API requrements and uses window server extended functionality. The major functions are TBM Video Format, Specific Video Formats, Zero copy, MMVideoBuffer, Tizen Viewport, Flush Buffer, Audio only mode, Handoffs Element signals, preroll-handoff Element signals, Use TBM, Rotate, Flip, Visible, Display Geometry Method and ROI.

TBM Video Format

Original Waylandsink lists various video formats, but Wayland only supports RGB format. To support various video format, waylandsink for TIZEN use TBM Video Format provided by WAYLAND for TIZEN. The video formats supported by Window Server are hardware dependent. The dependency is on the Window Server. When the Gst-pipeline with Waylandsink is created and the caps negotiation begins, the TBM Video Format provided by the Window Server is passed to Waylandsink. Window Server can accommodate the video output format of Video Codec when the negotiation is completed. To use TBM Video Format, Waylandsink need to bind tizen_policy_interface, tizen_video_interface and register listener and get the video formats as a callback.

static void handle_tizen_video_format (void *data, struct tizen_video *tizen_video, uint32_t format)
{
  GstWlDisplay *self = data;
  g_return_if_fail (self != NULL);

  GST_LOG ("format is %d", format);
  g_array_append_val (self->tbm_formats, format);
}

static const struct tizen_video_listener tizen_video_listener = {
  handle_tizen_video_format
};

static void global_registry_handler(void *data, struct wl_registry *registry, uint32_t id, const char *interface, uint32_t version)
{
[...]
  } else if (g_strcmp0 (interface, "tizen_policy") == 0) {
    self->tizen_policy =  wl_registry_bind (registry, id, &tizen_policy_interface, 1);
   } else if (g_strcmp0 (interface, "tizen_video") == 0) {
    self->tizen_video =  wl_registry_bind (registry, id, &tizen_video_interface, version);
    g_return_if_fail (self->tizen_video != NULL);
    tizen_video_add_listener (self->tizen_video, &tizen_video_listener, self);
  }
[...]
}

Specific Video Formats used by Multimedia Framework (SN12, SN21, ST12, SR32, S420) for Zero copy

In fact, SN12, SN21, ST12, SR32 and S320 are same to NV12, NV21, NV12MT, BGRA and I420. but Multimedia Framework use Specific Video Formates to indicate that formats is using TBM buffer. TIZEN provides a TBM buffer to avoid memory copy when transferring buffer to different processes. Camerasrc or Video Codec write the video data to tbm buffer, saves tbm bo pointer to GstBuffer, and send it to waylandsink. Waylandsink create wl_buffer with tbm_bo and requests rendering to the Window Server. There is no memory copy from Camerasrc or Video Codec to Window Server. We call it Zero Copy.

MMVideoBuffer

Gst Element should use the MMVideoBuffer type when transferring TBM buffer. tbm bo must be stored in bo of MMVideoBufferHandle. and type should be MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_TYPE_TBM_BO. Waylandsink make wl_buffer by using MMVideoBuffer information. If the video frame is not rendered, Waylandsink need to make sure that the information in MMVideoBuffer in GstBuffer received from Camerasrc or Video Codec is correct.

typedef struct {
 MMVideoBufferType type;                                 /**< buffer type   - The field of handle that type indicates should be filled, and other fields of handle are optional. */
 MMPixelFormatType format;                               /**< buffer type */
 int plane_num;                                          /**< number of planes */
 int width[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];                   /**< width of buffer */
 int height[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];                  /**< height of buffer */
 int stride_width[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];            /**< stride width of buffer */
 int stride_height[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];           /**< stride height of buffer */
 int size[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];                    /**< size of planes */
 void *data[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];                  /**< data pointer(user address) of planes */
 int handle_num;                                         /**< number of buffer handle */
 int handle_size[MM_VIDEO_BUFFER_PLANE_MAX];             /**< size of handles */
 MMVideoBufferHandle handle;                             /**< handle of buffer */
 int is_secured;                                         /**< secured buffer flag. ex) TrustZone memory, user can not access it. */
 int flush_request;                                      /**< flush request flag - If this flag is TRUE, sink element will make copy of last buffer, and it will return all buffers from src element.  Then, src element can restart without changing pipeline state. */
 MMRectType crop;                                        /**< crop information of buffer */
} MMVideoBuffer;

MMVideoBuffer can contain video data informtion of all cases as below.

Tizen Viewport

To change video frame render condition, Open source original Waylandsink use wl_surface_set_source(), wl_surface_set_buffer_transform(), wl_subsurface_set_position(), wl_viewport_set_destination() and wl_surface_set_buffer_transform(), For more information on wayland API, see the link https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/). Waylandsink need to IPC with wl_surface, wl_subsurface and wl_viewport.

Waylandsink in the Muse Daemon should request rendering conditions on wl_subsurface of the window created by Application. Therefore, there are some problem that it is difficult to match the geometry sync of the parent(Window) and wl_subsurface due to the delay caused by the IPC communication between the Window Server and Wayland-client. wl_viewport_, wl_set_source_ are surface-based coordination, it is difficult to calculate the coordinates when the buffer is transformed. so waylandsink for TIZEN use tizen_viewport supported Wayland Server for TIZEN. To use tizen_viewport, Waylandsink bind tizen_policy_interface and tizen_video_interface. Now, Waylandsink need to IPC tizen_viewport only. Waylandsink need to bind tizen_policy_interface, tizen_video_interface.

• Example 2

• Example 3

• Example 4

Flush Buffer

Sometimes it is necessary to return GstBuffer while maintaining the video frame rendered in the window. In this case, use FlushBuffer. FlushBuffer is a wl_buffer created after copying TBM from GstBuffer coming from Video codec or Camerasrc. Waylandsink return GstBuffer to Video Codec or Camerasrc immediately, and rendering FlushBuffer request is made to the Window Server.

• Gapless video playback

Waylandsink receive GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_DOWNSTREAM from Player when Player performs gapless video playback. and Player create a FlushBuffer.

#define GST_APP_EVENT_FLUSH_BUFFER_NAME "application/flush-buffer"

static gboolean gst_wayland_sink_event (GstBaseSink * bsink, GstEvent * event)
{
[...]  
  switch (GST_EVENT_TYPE (event)) {
  case GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_DOWNSTREAM:
     s = gst_event_get_structure (event);   
     if (s == NULL || !gst_structure_has_name (s, GST_APP_EVENT_FLUSH_BUFFER_NAME))
         break;
    gst_wayland_sink_render_flush_buffer (bsink);
[...] 
}

• keep-camera-preview

Camera set this property When Camera need to maintain last video frame. Waylandsink copay last tbm buffer and return last tbm buffr immediately when state change(PAUSED_TO_READY)

keep-camera-preview : Last tbm buffer is copied and returned to camerasrc immediately when state change(PAUSED_TO_READY)
                      flags: readable, writable
                      Boolean. Default: false

• flush_request of MMVideoBuffer

Camerasrc and Video Codec can set a flag to request a flushbuffer in the GstBuffer using MMVideoBuffer.flush_request = TRUE.

Audio only mode

Waylandsink has s disable-overlay property to support Player's audio only mode. If this property is set, video frame is not rendered. Player need to set this property to false and set wl_surface_id when Player need to show video frame.

disable-overlay : Stop using overlay by destroying wl_window and wl_display, Use gst_video_overlay_set_wl_window_wl_surface_id before setting FALSE to use overlay
                  flags: readable, writable
                  Boolean. Default: false

gst_wayland_sink_set_property (GObject * object, guint prop_id, const GValue * value, GParamSpec * pspec)
{
[...]
    case PROP_DISABLE_OVERLAY:      
       sink->disable_overlay = g_value_get_boolean (value);
       if (sink->window && sink->display) {
         if (sink->disable_overlay) {   // set TRUE       
           g_clear_object (&sink->window);
           g_clear_object (&sink->display);        
        } else // set FALSE
          gst_wayland_sink_recover_display_window_info (sink);
       }       break;
[...]
}

static GstFlowReturn gst_wayland_sink_render (GstBaseSink * bsink, GstBuffer * buffer)
{
[...]
  /* check overlay */  
  if (gst_wayland_sink_is_disabled_overlay (sink)) {    
    GST_LOG ("set disable_overlay, so skip");    
    goto done; //skip video rendering
  }
[...]
}

Please refer to mm_player_priv.c
/* Need to set surface_id to enable overlay. */
gst_video_overlay_set_wl_window_wl_surface_id( GST_VIDEO_OVERLAY(player->pipeline->videobin[MMPLAYER_V_SINK].gst), *(int*)handle);

Handoffs and preroll-handoff Element Signals

Sometimes Player use fakesink. Changing the gst-pipeline of Player is a hassles, so Waylandsink provided fakesink functionality. if this property set to TRUE, Waylandsink send hanoff signal to Player.

static GstFlowReturn gst_wayland_sink_render (GstBaseSink * bsink, GstBuffer * buffer)
{
[...]
  /* fakesink function for media stream callback case */
  if (sink->signal_handoffs) {    
    GST_LOG ("g_signal_emit: hand-off ");    
    g_signal_emit (sink, gst_waylandsink_signals[SIGNAL_HANDOFF], 0, buffer, bsink->sinkpad);
    goto done;  //skip video rendering
  }
[...]
}

Use TBM

Waylandsink use two types of buffrs. It si shared memory and TBM memory. the default value is TRUE and Waylandsink use TBM memory. Waylandsink for TIZEN use shared memory such as the open source original waylandsink if value is FALSE.

use-tbm  : Use Tizen Buffer Memory insted of Shared memory, Memory is alloced by TBM insted of SHM when enabled
           flags: readable, writable
           Boolean. Default: true

Rotate

Waylandsink can rotate angle of display output. the default value is 0, "DEGREE_0".

rotate   : Rotate angle of display output                        
           flags: readable, writable
           Enum "GstWaylandSinkRotateAngleType" Default: 0, "DEGREE_0"
                (0): DEGREE_0         - No rotate
                (1): DEGREE_90        - Rotate 90 degree
                (2): DEGREE_180       - Rotate 180 degree
                (3): DEGREE_270       - Rotate 270 degree

We need to convet the enum values used by Player or Camera to values used by WAYLAND.

static gint gst_wl_window_find_rotate_transform (guint rotate_angle) {
  gint transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_NORMAL; 
    switch (rotate_angle) {    
      case DEGREE_0:      
        transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_NORMAL;      
        break;    
     case DEGREE_90:
       transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_90;      
       break;    
     case DEGREE_180:      
       transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_180;      
       break;    
     case DEGREE_270:      
       transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_270;      
       break;  
  }  
  return transform;
}

transform =  gst_wl_window_find_rotate_transform (window->rotate_angle.value);   
tizen_viewport_set_transform (window->tizen_area_viewport, transform);

Flip

Waylandsink can flip angle of display output. the default value is 0, "FLIP_NONE".

flip  : Flip for display
        flags: readable, writable
        Enum "GstWaylandSinkFlipType" Default: 0, "FLIP_NONE" 
             (0): FLIP_NONE        - Flip NONE 
             (1): FLIP_HORIZONTAL  - Flip HORIZONTAL 
             (2): FLIP_VERTICAL    - Flip VERTICAL 
             (3): FLIP_BOTH        - Flip BOTH

WAYLAND has not flip. So, waylandsink must implement flip with rotating video_viewport.

static gint gst_wl_window_find_flip_transform (guint flip)
{
  gint transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_NORMAL;
  FUNCTION;

  GST_DEBUG ("flip (%d)", flip);
  switch (flip) {
    case FLIP_NONE:
      transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_NORMAL;
      break;
    case FLIP_HORIZONTAL:
      transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_FLIPPED;
      break;
    case FLIP_VERTICAL:
      transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_FLIPPED_180;
      break;
    case FLIP_BOTH:
      transform = WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_180;
      break;
  }
  return transform;
}

transform = gst_wl_window_find_flip_transform (window->flip.value);
tizen_viewport_set_transform (window->tizen_video_viewport, transform);

Visible

Waylandsink can make the video frame visible or invisible on the display. To make the video frame invisible, attach NULL, To make the video fame visible, Waylandsink need to keep last rendered video frame.

/* invisible */
static void gst_wayland_sink_stop_video (GstWaylandSink * sink)
{
  FUNCTION;
  g_return_if_fail (sink != NULL);
  gst_wl_window_render (sink->window, NULL, NULL);
}
/*visible*/
gst_wayland_sink_update_last_buffer_geometry (sink);

Display Geometry Method and ROI

Waylandsink can change the geometry when rendering the video.

display-geometry-method: Geometrical method for display
                      flags: readable, writable
                      Enum "GstWaylandSinkDisplayGeometryMethodType" Default: 0, "LETTER_BOX"
                         (0): LETTER_BOX       - Letter box
                         (1): ORIGIN_SIZE      - Origin size
                         (2): FULL_SCREEN      - Full-screen
                         (3): CROPPED_FULL_SCREEN - Cropped full-screen
                         (4): ORIGIN_SIZE_OR_LETTER_BOX - Origin size(if screen size is larger than video size(width/height)) or Letter box(if video size(width/height) is larger than screen size)
                         (5): DISP_GEO_METHOD_CUSTOM_ROI - Specially described destination ROI

These are provided by using tizen_viewport from TIZEN 3.0.

enum {
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_LETTER_BOX = 0,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_ORIGIN_SIZE,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_FULL_SCREEN,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_CROPPED_FULL_SCREEN,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_ORIGIN_SIZE_OR_LETTER_BOX,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_CUSTOM_ROI,
 DISP_GEO_METHOD_NUM,
};

if (tizen_disp_mode > -1) {
  tizen_destination_mode_set (window->tizen_video_dest_mode, tizen_disp_mode); 
}

ROI coordinates can be set only when the value of display-geometry-method is set to 5, and ROI coordinates are obtained from gst_video_overlay_set_render_rectangle() from Player or Camera.

if (window->disp_geo_method.value == DISP_GEO_METHOD_CUSTOM_ROI) {
   tizen_viewport_set_destination (window->tizen_video_viewport, window->roi.x, window->roi.y, window->roi.w, window->roi.h);
}

• Letter Box mode

Letter Box mode fit the video source to Width or Height of Window, align center and keep aspect ratio of original video source.

1)Window (width/height) > Video source (width/height)

2)Window (width/height) < Video source (width/height)

• Origin Size mode

Origin size mode set video source size by original video size, align center and keep aspect ratio of original video source.

1)Window size > Video source size

2)Window size < Video source size

• Cropped Full Screen mode

Cropped Full Screen mode fit the video source to Width and Height, crop the out of window area, align center, keep aspect ratio of original video source.

1)Window (width/height) > Video source (width/height)

2)Window (width/height) < Video source (width/height)

• ROI mode

ROI is the user directly sets the location where the video is rendered.

window size: 1920 x 1080

ROI x, y, width, height: 100, 100, 800, 400

Connectivity

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is the short range communication used to communicate between 2 devices. In Tizen, open source Bluetooth components like BlueZ and ObexD are used. Bluez and Obexd run as the daemon and there is an interface library Bluetooth Framework, used for applications to access BlueZ or ObexD over the D-Bus interface.

This section explains the Bluetooth architecture on the Tizen platform and how Tizen can be ported, along with the configuration parameters and its values.

Bluetooth Low Energy function was implemented in BlueZ and bluetooth-frwk.

The following figure explains the Bluetooth architecture on Tizen.

The Bluetooth framework provides dialogue for the user. It controls the BlueZ, ObexD, and PulseAudio daemons. Bluetooth provides a standard interface between the Bluetooth chip and AP, called the HCI (Host Controller Interface). HCI can be implemented on USB, UART, SDIO, but for the mobile environment, UART is used most. Depending on the chip vendor, HCI Interface Activation can be different. The vendor provides the HCI configuration and the initial scripts. For example, Broadcom and Spreadtrum provide firmware and a loading tool. Tizen supports Bluetooth version 4.2. The supported profiles are GATT, FTP, OPP, MAP, PBAP, A2DP, AVRCP, HSP/HFP, RFCOMM, HID, HDP, and PAN. Bluetooth framework Tizen Bluetooth is based on the open source BlueZ project. BlueZ provides the DBUS API and based on it, Tizen BT framework provides the C Language API. It is recommended to use the Tizen Bluetooth framework.

The following components are necessary for Bluetooth:

• Application
  • The user dialogue that controls the BlueZ, ObexD, and PulseAudio daemons
• ObexD
  • The open source component
  • Object exchange daemon
  • Supports OPP, FTP, PBAP, SYNC, and MAP profile stack
• BluetoothD
  • BluetoothD is the open souce component, Bluez 5.37 is supported
  • Bluetooth central daemon
  • Supports GAP, SDP, A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP, and GATT profile stack
• Bluetooth Subsystem
  • Provides the BT unix socket. Each protocol can be accessed by its socket.
  • Supports the L2CAP, RFCOMM, SCO, and HCI protocols
• Bluetooth Driver
  • BT Chip Driver
  • In case of UART, Linux kernel provides the interface.
  • GPIO configuration, rfkill (Radio Frequency Management) and power management can be handled by both the vendor and the porting engineer.
• BT Firmware Loading Module
  • Depending on the environment, it loads the Bluetooth firmware to the Bluetooth chip.
  • Tizen and the chipset vendor need to implement this together.
  • Package: bluetooth-tools

Porting OAL Interface

The following OAL scripts are run during the Bluetooth stack start and end sequences. These scripts invoke the Bluetooth chip specific (such as Broadcom and Spreadtrum) scripts, provided by the chipset vendor to perform chip specific configuration. These scripts are available in the bluetooth-dev-tools.under package. When this package is installed, it copies the scripts in the /usr/etc/Bluetooth/ directory.

• bt-stack-up.sh

This script file is used to run the hardware specific script files to power up or start the Bluetooth hardware along the background processes, such as bluez and obexd.

• bt-stack-down.sh

This script file is used to run the hardware specific script files to power down or stop the Bluetooth hardware along with the background processes, such as bluez and obexd.

• bt-reset-env.sh

This script file is used to reset the Bluetooth chip by running the bt-stack-down.sh script along with the resource clean up.

Tizen BT Obex profiles

In Tizen, for the obex based profiles, the open source ObexD is used.

• BT Obex profiles server (obexd)

obexd –d –noplugin=syncevolution,pcsiut,irmc –symlinks –r /ftp_ folder

• BT Obex profiles client (obex-client)

obex-client

Configuration

There are a few configuration changes that need to be made to enable the specific chipset and the scripts and other configuration information, such as UART speed and UART terminal (tty), to be opened specific to the chipset. These changes must be provided by the chipset vendors.

WLAN

This section provides a step-by-step explanation of what's involved in adding a new Wi-Fi driver and making Wi-Fi work.

Feature Overview:

• WLAN (802.11 b/g/n)
• WPS PBC
• EAP (PEAP, TTLS)

Tizen uses wpa_supplicant as the platform interface to the Wi-Fi device. Your Wi-Fi driver must be compatible with the standard wpa_supplicant.

The Tizen WLAN architecture is centered on the Linux wireless (IEEE-802.11) subsystem. The Linux wireless SW stack defines the WLAN hardware adaptation software interfaces that need to be used in Tizen. In practice, the required interfaces are defined by cfg80211 for FullMAC WLAN devices and by mac80211 for SoftMAC WLAN devices. In addition, a Linux network interface needs to be supported towards the Linux TCP/IP stack.

The Connection Manager (ConnMan) is a daemon for managing internet connections within embedded devices running the Linux operating system.

The wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the WLAN driver.

Porting OAL Interface

The WLAN driver plugin is specific to a Wi-Fi chipset. This includes firmware and tools specific to Wi-Fi chipsets. Wi-Fi chipset firmware and tools files must be copied to the WLAN driver plugin directory, built, and installed before testing the Wi-Fi functionality. Because of Tizen platform requirement, the Wi-Fi driver must create the /opt/etc/.mac.info file, which has the MAC address of device.

The WLAN driver plugin contains the wlan.sh file (located in /usr/bin/wlan.sh), which is used to load or unload the Wi-Fi driver firmware.

When the wifi_activate() function is called, the load driver request is sent to the NET-CONFIG daemon. The NET-CONFIG daemon loads the Wi-Fi driver using the wlan.sh script file. Similarly, the wifi_deactivate() function requests unloading of the Wi-Fi driver. In case of Wi-Fi Direct, the wifi_direct_activate() and wifi_direct_deactivate() functions make the Wi-Fi Direct manager load or unload the Wi-Fi driver using the wlan.sh script.

Using the /usr/bin/wlan.sh script:

• wlan.sh start: Power up the Wi-Fi driver in station mode by loading the driver and running the firmware file.
• wlan.sh p2p: Power up the Wi-Fi driver in Wi-Fi Direct mode by loading the driver and running the firmware file.
• wlan.sh softap: Power up the Wi-Fi driver in Soft AP mode by loading the driver and running the firmware file.
• wlan.sh stop: Power down the Wi-Fi driver.

All other Wi-Fi related functionality is handled by the ConnMan daemon

NFC

The NFC application enables the user to read and/or import the content written on an NFC tag, edit the content written on an NFC tag, write and save data in an NFC tag, and load and save the NFC data from or in a file.

The NFC client acts as an interface between the NFC app and the NFC manager, while writing or editing tag information in any physical tag. The NFC manager is the main interface, which actually deals with NFC physical tags, creates a connection with tags, and detects it. It is a daemon process to control the NFC chipset (such as NXP pn544). It provides the read and write service and basic P2P communication service, as well as the basic API for the client application. The NFC stack contains the required plugin, based on the NFC chipset. Currently, the nfc-plugin-nxp is used for the NXP chipset. The NFC plugin acts as an interface between the NFC chipset with the NFC framework (nfc-manager). It must be implemented according to the interface provided by the nfc-manager.

Porting OAL Interface

The NFC plugin is implemented as a shared library and it interfaces the Tizen nfc-manager and the vendor NFC chip. The NFC manager loads the libnfc-plugin.so library at runtime from the /usr/lib/libnfc-plugin.so directory. Any vendor-specific plugin is installed within the same path. The plugin must be written with predefined OAL API interfaces.

During initialization, the nfc-manager loads the nfc-plugin.so library, searches for the onload() function, and calls the function with an interface structure instance as an argument for mapping of all the OAL interfaces. These OAL/OEM interfaces are implemented according to the underlying NFC chipset. Once the mapping is done, the NFC manager interact with nfc-plugin, which implements the vendor specific OAL interfaces.

The following example shows the onload() function for reference:

Bool
onload(net_nfc_oem_interface_s *oem_interfaces)
{
    oem_interfaces->init = xxx;  /* xxx refers to plugin APIs */
    oem_interfaces->deinit = xxx;
    oem_interfaces->register_listener = xxx;
    oem_interfaces->unregister_listener = xxx;
    oem_interfaces->check_firmware_version = xxx;

    return true;
}

The NFC OAL interfaces are defined in the following structure. Use the net_nfc_oem_controller.h header file.

typedef struct _net_nfc_oem_interface_s
{
    net_nfc_oem_controller_init init;
    net_nfc_oem_controller_deinit deinit;
    net_nfc_oem_controller_register_listener register_listener;

    net_nfc_oem_controller_test_mode_off test_mode_off;
net_nfc_oem_controller_support_nfc support_nfc;
} net_nfc_oem_interface_s;

The nfc_oem_interface_s is exported in the nfc-plugin. Using this interface structure, the nfc-manager communicates with the OAL interfaces at runtime. The NFC plugin loads when the nfc-manager is started and the plugin init() function is called to initialize the NFC chip.

int (*init) (net_nfc_oem_controller_init*);

The deinit() function the nfc-manager issues to deinitialize the NFC chip:

int (*deinit) (net_nfc_oem_controller_deinit *);

Sending the notification to the upper layer (NFC Service)

Refer to the phdal4nfc_message_glib.c file. The g_idle_add_full is used for handling the message in the NFC Service. You can use the callback client asynchronously in the client context. Post a message in queue, and the message is processed by a client thread.

Reference implementation of the NFC plugin

Sample code snippets cannot be reproduced. Code is proriatory. For reference, see the nfc-plugin-emul and nfc-plugin-nxp files.

Configuration

The nfc-plugin package must be saved to the /usr/lib/libnfc-plugin.so directory when installed. When the nfc-manager starts, it looks for the plugin library and loads it dynamically from this path.

MTP

• MTP exchanges can only occur between 2 products at a time, and in each communication, 1 product acts as the initiator and the other as the responder.
• The initiator is the product that initiates actions with the responder by sending operations to the responder.

• The responder can not initiate any actions, and can only send responses to operations sent by the initiator or send events.

• In the Tizen system, the USB host is the initiator, and the USB device is the responder.

Porting OAL Interface

• Tizen MTP initiator and responder do not have an OAL Interface.
• There are extension possibilities of the MTP Transport layer.

Configuration

MTP Initiator

• The MTP Initiator consist of 3 packages.

mtp-initiator daemon
mtp-initiator api
libmtp opensource

• The MTP initiator does not operate independently. It requires the help of another module, such as USB.
• When the USB device is connected to the host, the module must run the MTP initiator daemon.

MTP Responder

• The MTP responder consist of 1 package.

mtp-responder daemon

• The MTP responder does not operate independently. It requires the help of another module, such as USB.
• When the USB device is connected to the host, the module must run the MTP responder daemon.

Location

Location Framework

Location provides location based services (LBS) including the position information, satellite information and GPS status.

You can use the following location features´:

• GPS (Global positioning system)
• Getting the current position, last known position, accuracy, distance and velocity
• Getting the satellite information of GPS and GLONASS
• Notifying a user when they enter or exit a predefined set of boundaries, known as geofence, like school attendance zones or neighborhood boundaries

Location framework

• location-manager

Tizen gives applications access to the location services supported by the device through the location-manager, which provides API’s to determine location and bearing of the underlying services (if available).

• Location Library
  • Contains the location providers that can be used by the location-manager to get the services.
  • GPS
    • GPS provides position information, velocity and satellite information. It is used to get the current position of a device.
• dbus
  • This is the IPC used to communicate between location module and the Location daemon.
• lbs-server
  • lbs-server provides position, velocity, NMEA, and satellite information by communicating with a GPS chip.
  • lbs-server has the following functionalities:
    • Initializes and deinitializes the GPS, opens and closes GPS applications.
    • Provides the position result for location library.
    • Location session management-determination for session termination based on session status.
    • Serial interface with the GPS receiver
    • Enables the GPS chipset to support standalone GPS positioning methods.
    • Supports the standalone operation mode.

A GPS receiver device in which the receiver provides all of its own data needs and performs all position calculations, without connection to an external network or server.

Porting OAL Interface

The GPS plugin is implemented based on the Tizen lbs-server for vendor specific GPS devices.

The GPS plugin is implemented as a shared library and the lbs-server loads a specific GPS plugin at runtime. A GPS plugin must be written with predefined interfaces.

The lbs-server-plugin-dev source package is installed on OBS by adding the following command in the package spec file.

BuildRequires: pkgconfig(lbs-server-plugin)

The lbs-server-plugin-dev package source files can be found in the following directories:

/usr/include/lbs-server-plugin/*.h 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/lbs-server-plugin.pc

The gps_plugin_intf.h header file includes the API interfaces for the communication between the lbs-server and its GPS plugin.

typedef struct { 
    /* Initialize the plugin module and register callback function for event delivery */ 
    int (*init) (gps_event_cb gps_event_cb, void *user_data); 
    /* Deinitialize the plugin module */ 
    int (*deinit) (gps_failure_reason_t *reason_code); 
    /* Request specific action to plugin module */ 
    int (*request) (gps_action_t gps_action, void *gps_action_data, gps_failure_reason_t *reason_code); 
} gps_plugin_interface; 

const gps_plugin_interface *get_gps_plugin_interface();

The get_gps_plugin_interface() function must be exported in the GPS plugin. It gives the gps_plugin_interface structure to the lbs-server, and the lbs-server communicates by these interfaces. When the lbs-server is started, the GPS plugin is loaded and the init() function is called. At this moment, a GPS device must be initialized.

int (*init) (gps_event_cb gps_event_cb, void *user_data);

When init() function is called, the gps_event_cb is set. GPS events and data from a GPS device is delivered by the gps_event_cb registered call back function.

typedef int (*gps_event_cb) (gps_event_info_t *gps_event_info, void *user_data);

The following example describes the GPS events.

typedef enum { 
    GPS_EVENT_START_SESSION = 0x0000, /* The session is started */ 
    GPS_EVENT_STOP_SESSION, /* The session is stopped */ 
    GPS_EVENT_CHANGE_INTERVAL, /* Change updating interval */
    GPS_EVENT_REPORT_POSITION = 0x0100, /* Bring up GPS position data */ 
    GPS_EVENT_REPORT_SATELLITE, /* Bring up GPS SV data */ 
    GPS_EVENT_REPORT_NMEA, /* Bring up GPS NMEA data */ 
    GPS_EVENT_SET_OPTION = 0x0200, /* The option is set */ 
    GPS_EVENT_GET_REF_LOCATION = 0x0300, /* Get the reference location for AGPS */ 
    GPS_EVENT_GET_IMSI, /* Get IMSI for identification */ 
    GPS_EVENT_OPEN_DATA_CONNECTION = 0x0400, /* Request opening data network connection */ 
    GPS_EVENT_CLOSE_DATA_CONNECTION, /* Request closing data network connection */ 
    GPS_EVENT_DNS_LOOKUP_IND, /* Request resolving host name */ 
    GPS_EVENT_AGPS_VERIFICATION_INDI, /* Verification indicator for AGPS is required */
    GPS_EVENT_FACTORY_TEST = 0x0500,/* Factory test is done */ 
    GPS_EVENT_ERR_CAUSE = 0xFFFF /* Some error is occurred */ 
} gps_event_id_t;

The GPS events contains specific GPS event data which is part of gps_event_data_t is delivered, see the gps_plugin_intf.h. When the lbs-server want to make a request to GPS device, the request() function is called.

int (*request) (gps_action_t gps_action, void *gps_action_data, gps_failure_reason_t *reason_code); 

Each request is classified by gps_action_t.

typedef enum { 
    GPS_ACTION_SEND_PARAMS = 0x00, 
    GPS_ACTION_START_SESSION, 
    GPS_ACTION_STOP_SESSION, 
    GPS_ACTION_CHANGE_INTERVAL,
    GPS_INDI_SUPL_VERIFICATION, 
    GPS_INDI_SUPL_DNSQUERY, 
    GPS_ACTION_START_FACTTEST, 
    GPS_ACTION_STOP_FACTTEST, 
    GPS_ACTION_REQUEST_SUPL_NI,
    GPS_ACTION_DELETE_GPS_DATA, 
} gps_action_t;

With the standalone GPS (unassisted GPS), the GPS_ACTION_START_SESSION and GPS_ACTION_STOP_SESSION are mandatory actions. If the GPS_ACTION_START_SESSION is delivered, the GPS plugin starts the acquisition of satellites and reports the GPS_EVENT_START_SESSION event to the lbs-server by the gps_event_cb callback function. Once the acquisition is completed and position is fixed, its position should be delivered by the gps_event_cb with the GPS_EVENT_REPORT_POSITION event ID and the position data.

To shut down the lbs-server, deinitialize the GPS device with the deinit() function.

int (*deinit) (gps_failure_reason_t *reason_code);

• Addign a new GPS plugin

During the boot up, the lbs-server loads the GPS plugin module. To load the plugin module it has to be defined in server.c file so that during the boot up, the lbs-server loads the available plugin in the /sys/devices/platform directory.

#define PLATFORM_PATH "/sys/devices/platform"
#define PLUGIN_PATH PLATFORM_PATH"/xxxxx_gps"

The check_plugin_module(char* module_name) function checks the access to available plugin in the /sys/devices/platform directory and the load_plugin_module loads the plugin during the boot up time.

Geofence

The Geofence Manager API provides service related to geofence. A geofence is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area.

You can to set a geofence with geopoint, Wi-Fi MAC address, and Bluetooth address. Notifications on events, such as changes in the service status are provided.

There are 2 kinds of places and fences:

• Public places and fences that are created by the MyPlace application can be used by all applications.
• Private places and fences that are created by a specified application can only be used by the same application.

Notifications can be received about the following events:

• Zone in when a device enters a specific area
• Zone out when a device exits a specific area
• Results and errors for each event requested by the geofence module

Map Service

The Location Maps API (Maps API) allows you to create map-aware applications.

The Maps API has the following features:

• Geocoder (geocoding and reverse geocoding)
• Places (search places)
• Routes (search directions)
• Map Widget (rendering map images)

The Maps API allows you to choose a map service provider to be included in the plugins.

Porting OAL Interface

The Maps plugin is implemented as a shared library and the Maps framework loads a specific Maps plugin at runtime. A Maps plugin must be written with predefined interfaces. The capi-maps-service-plugin-devel source package is installed on OBS by adding the following command in the package specification file:

BuildRequires: pkgconfig(capi-maps-service-plugin-devel)

The capi-maps-service-plugin-devel package source files can be found in the following directories:

/usr/include/maps/maps_plugin*.h
/usr/include/maps/maps_*_plugin.h
/usr/include/maps/maps_extra_types.h

The module.h header file includes the API interfaces for the communication between the Maps and its plugin.

typedef struct _interface_s {
    /* Plugin dedicated functions */
    maps_plugin_init_f maps_plugin_init;
    maps_plugin_shutdown_f maps_plugin_shutdown;

    maps_plugin_capture_snapshot_f maps_plugin_capture_snapshot;
} interface_s;

These functions must be implemented and exported in the Maps plugin. To create a Maps handle classified by provider name string, the maps_plugin_get_info() function must provide the name. The name is recommended to be capitalized.

The Maps plugins are located in the /usr/lib/maps/plugins directory.

HERE Maps plugin

For now, the HERE Maps plugin is embedded on the platform basically, and the provider name is 'HERE'. To use this plugin, you must get the credential keys in the HERE developers site, "https://developer.here.com". You may need to pay a fee according to the threshold.

For user consent demanded by HERE, the user consent application included in the HERE Maps plugin is launched at first time of use if not agreed before.

  • HAL, Hardware Abstraction Layer, abstracts the actual hardware used and ensures that similar functionality is provided by various hardware (modems) of the same modem vendor.
  • All hardware specific changes are controlled and processed by HALs.
  • The modem driver can be required depending on the modem chipset.
• Hooks
  • Hooks provide a mechanism to tap requests, responses, and notifications of other Telephony modules.
  • Hooking is a transparent mechanism and does not affect the normal processing of requests, responses, and notifications.

Tizen Telephony Architecture

Tizen Telephony supports the plugin architecture, which provides flexibility to include various types of predefined plugins into the system with little change.

The 3 major components of Tizen Telephony are the libraries, plugins, and server.

Telephony Libraries

Telephony API (TAPI) library

The TAPI library (or simply TAPI) is a standardized interface provided to applications to interact with Tizen Telephony. It is provided as a libtapi package. The TAPI executes in the application’s context, and it provides sync and async APIs. The following figure shows the libtapi internal composition.

Applications can interface to Telephony features, such as call, SMS, and network, through the respective module APIs exposed in the libtapi library. Telephony also provides an additional library, capi-telephony for third party applications.

Core Telephony library

The Core Telephony library (or libtcore) provides an API framework for Tizen Telephony to inter-work. It is provided as libtcore package. The following figure shows the internal composition overview of the libtcore.

With libtcore, you can:

• Create, destroy, and maintain various server components, such as server, communicator, HAL, plugin, and core object.
• Maintain storage, queue mechanism, and general utilities.
• Support CMUX (creation/destruction/processing).
• Parse AT.

Telephony Plugins

There are 4 kinds of plugins:

• Communicator plugins
  • Interfaces TAPI and Telephony Server.
  • For example, DBUS communicator (DBUS_TAPI) is provided by default.

• Modem plugins
  • Core functional units providing the Telephony functionality.
  • Maintain and manage the Telephony states.
  • Maintain and manage the databases related to Telephony.

• Modem interface plugins
  • Interfaces the telephony server to the communication processor.
  • Hardware specific plugins which define hardware capabilities and usage
  • Modem interface plugin is also called HAL.

• Free Style plugins
  • Provide completely independent functionality irrespective of hardware (communication processor).
  • For example plugins, such as packetservice, storage, and indicator.

The following figure provides an overview of all the Telephony plugins together.

Telephony Server

Tizen Telephony runs as a Telephony server daemon called telephony-daemon.

The Telephony server executes as a g-main loop from the glib library.

Porting OAL Interface

OEM vendors can port available plugins within Telephony as needed. It is not mandatory that all the plugins to be ported to support a specific hardware.

This section provides guidance to OEM vendors to develop various Telephony plugins.

Plugin Descriptors

Any telephony plugin is required to provide a descriptor structure described in the following example.

Structure	Description
struct tcore_plugin_define_desc { gchar *name; enum tcore_plugin_priority priority; int version; gboolean(*load)(); gboolean(*init)(TcorePlugin *); void (*unload)(TcorePlugin *); };	Structure referred by Telephony server to load, initialize, and unload the plugin. This structure defines: Name of the plugin Initializing priority of the plugin Plugin version Plugin 'load' function reference Plugin 'init' function reference Plugin 'unload' function reference

The descriptor structure of each plugin must be named as plugin_define_desc. The server obtains the address of this symbol in order to provide control to the plugin to execute its defined functionality.

The order of initialization among various Telephony plugins is defined based on the plugin’s priority.

OEMs need to specifically implement the modem and modem interface plugins to support their hardware.

Call Service Operations

The implementation of the functions described in the following example is required to provide call services.

Structure

Description

struct tcore_call_operations { TReturn (*dial)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*answer)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*end)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*hold)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*active)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*swap)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*join)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*split)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); };

The structure referred by the Telephony server to provide call services. This structure defines: Call 'dial' function reference Call 'answer' function reference Call 'end' function reference Call 'hold' function reference Call 'active' function reference Call 'swap' function reference Call 'join' function reference Call 'split' function reference

SMS Service Operations

The implementation of the functions described in the following example is required to provide SMS services.

Structure

Description

struct tcore_sms_operations { TReturn (*send_umts_msg)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*send_cdma_msg)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*read_msg)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*save_msg)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*delete_msg)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*get_sca)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*set_sca)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*get_sms_params)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*set_sms_params)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); };

Structure referred by the Telephony server to provide SMS-related services. This structure defines: SMS 'send' function reference SMS 'read' function reference SMS 'save' function reference SMS 'delete' function reference SMS 'get sca' function reference SMS 'set sca' function reference SMS 'get sms params' function reference SMS 'set sms params' function reference

Network Service Operations

The implemenation of the functions described in the following example is required to provide network services.

Structure

Description

struct tcore_network_operations { TReturn (*search)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*set_plmn_selection_mode)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*get_plmn_selection_mode)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*set_service_domain)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*get_service_domain)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*set_band)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); TReturn (*get_band)(CoreObject *o, UserRequest *ur); };

Structure referred by the Telephony server to provide network services. This structure defines: Network 'search' function reference Network 'set plmn selection mode' function reference Network 'get plmn selection mode' function reference Network 'set service domain' function reference Network 'get service domain' function reference Network 'set band' function reference Network 'get band' function reference

HAL operations

The implementation of the functions described in the following example is required to provide HAL operations.

Structure	Description
struct tcore_hal_operations { TReturn (*power)(TcoreHal *hal, gboolean flag); TReturn (*send)(TcoreHal *hal, unsigned int data_len, void *data); TReturn (*setup_netif)(CoreObject *co, TcoreHalSetupNetifCallback func, void *user_data, unsigned int cid, gboolean enable); };	Structure referred by Telephony server to provide HAL operations. This structure defines: HAL 'power' function reference HAL 'send' function reference HAL 'setup network interface' function reference

Sample implementations of the modem and modem interface plugins is available in the Appendix section.

Configuration

There are no specific configurations required for Telephony except for conforming to the installation paths of various Telephony plugins.

All Telephony plugins need to be installed in the following folders:

• Modem Plugins: %{_libdir}/telephony/plugins/modems/
• Other Plugins: %{_libdir}/telephony/plugins/

Workflow

1. Initialization sequence
   1. The server loads the modem interface plugin.
   2. The modem interface plugin registers to the server.
   3. The server enumerates the modem interface plugin.
   4. Create the physical HAL.
   5. The modem interface plugin queries the modem state.
   6. If the modem is online, the CMUX (internal) channels are established.
   7. The logical HAL is created for each CMUX channel and assigned for a core object type. These are updated to the mapping table.
   8. Change the physical HAL mode to TRANSPARENT (disables the queue).
   9. The modem interface plugin requests server to load the modem plugin (corresponding to its architecture).
   10. The server loads modem plugin.
   11. The modem plugin initializes the sub-modules and creates the core objects (based on the core object types defined in the mapping table by the modem interface plugin).
   12. The modem plugin notifies the server of the PLUGIN_ADDED event.
   13. The modem notifies the communicator of the PLUGIN_ADDED event.
   14. The communicator creates interfaces for the sub-modules present (based on the core objects created).

   The following figure shows the telephony loading sequence.

   

2. Request processing sequence
   1. The application request is sent to the communicator through TAPI.
   2. The communicator creates a user request based on the incoming request.
   3. The user request is dispatch to communicator.
   4. The communicator dispatches user request to server.
   5. The server finds the plugin based on the modem name.
   6. The server extracts the core object type based on the request command from plugin’s core objects list.
   7. The server dispatches the user request to the core object.
   8. The core object dispatches the user request to dispatch a function based on the request command.
   9. Pending request is formed, added to the queue, and sent to the logical HAL assigned for the core object.
   10. The logical HAL dispatches the request data to a CMUX channel dedicated to it.
   11. CMUX encodes the request data and dispatches it to the physical HAL.
   12. The physical HAL sends the request data to the modem.

   The following figure shows the telephony request processing sequence.

   

3. Response processing sequence
   1. Response data sent by the modem is received by the physical HAL.
   2. The physical HAL dispatches the response data to CMUX.
   3. CMUX decodes the received response data and dispatches the corresponding logical HAL based on the CMUX channel.
   4. The logical HAL dispatches the decoded response data to the corresponding core object.
   5. The core object processes the received response data and extracts the user request from the pending queue and sends the response data corresponding to the user request.
   6. The user request extracts the communicator.
   7. The received response data is sent to the corresponding communicator.
   8. The communicator sends the response data to TAPI which communicates the response to application.

   The following figure shows the telephony response processing sequence.

   

4. Indication processing sequence
   1. Notification data sent by the modem is received by the physical HAL.
   2. The physical HAL dispatches the notification data to CMUX.
   3. CMUX decodes the received notification data and dispatches the corresponding logical HAL based on the CMUX channel registered for the notification.
   4. The logical HAL dispatches the decoded notification data to the corresponding core object that registered for the notification.
   5. The core object processes the received notification data and dispatches to the server.
   6. The server dispatches the notification data to corresponding communicator.
   7. The communicator sends the notification data to TAPI, which communicates the same to the application.

   The following figure shows the telephony indication processing sequence.

   

Application

Tizen supports both core and reference applications. The core applications are developed with platform internal interfaces, such as Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) and other 3rd party libraries. The reference applications are developed with Tizen native APIs.
