System Capability Encoder and Decoder Tools

SysCap(SystemCapability) encoder and decoder tools common usage scenarios as follow：

1.APP development: IDE collect APP required SysCap and API verssion as in RPCID encoder input. And IDE will decode PCID to device SysCap list when it imported.

2.APP distribution: RPCID/PCID decoder used for APP distribution procedure, APP store will check whether device's SysCap satisfy APP required SysCap.

Architecture

SysCap codec tools has two components：

1.PCID Encode: Encode SysCap list to PCID.

2.PCID Decode: Decode PCID to get system SysCap list.

3.RPCID Encode: Encode APP required SysCap list to RPCID.

4.RPCID Decode: Decode RPCID to get APP required SysCap list.

API

PC tools, no API provided.

Building Manually

syscap_tool binary building steps as follow：

1. Build commands：SysCap tools binary building and installation will be tiggered by SDK compiling procedure. How to build SDK please refer to https://gitee.com/openharmony/build/blob/master/README_zh.md.

2. Building cmd should be adjust for host platform as same as SDK compiling, the archive will in corresponding platform directoty. Note: Ubuntu host only avaiable for windows/linux building, MacOs binary should building on MacOs host.

Downloading Binary

[1.Downlaod SDK(recommonded))]

Download daily builds(http://ci.openharmony.cn/dailybuilds) which included SDK.

[3.Supported Host]

Windows x86_64/Linux x86_64/Darwin x86_64

Help

SysCap tools usually integrate to IDE, APP store and bundle tools. Follow instructions for debugging manually:

./syscap_tool -h or ./syscap_tool --help：

./syscap_tool -R/P -e/d -i filepath [-o outpath]

-h, --help : how to use

-R, --RPCID : encode or decode RPCID

-P, --PCID : encode or decode PCID

-e, --encode : to encode

-d, --encode : to decode

-i filepath, --input filepath : input file

-o outpath, --input outpath : output path

Release Note

v1.0.0 2022-3-8 first release, SysCap codec supported for Windows/Linux/Mac host.
