<p>A VINTF object aggregates data from <a href="#device-manifest-file">device
manifest</a> and <a href="#framework-manifest-file">framework manifest</a> files
(XML) and from the device itself at <a href="#runtime-data">runtime</a>. Both
manifests share a format, although not all elements apply to both (for details
on the schema, see <a href="#manifest-file-schema">Manifest file schema</a>).
</p>
<h2 id="device-manifest-file">Device manifest</h2>
<p>The Device manifest (provided by the device) consists of the vendor manifest
and the ODM manifest.</p>
<ul>
<li>The vendor manifest specifies HALs, VNDK versions, etc. common to an SoC. It
is recommended to be placed in the Android source tree at
<code>device/<var>VENDOR</var>/<var>DEVICE</var>/manifest.xml</code>, but multiple fragment
files can be used. For details, see
<a href="/devices/architecture/vintf/resources.html#manifest-fragments">Generate
DM from fragments</a>.
</li>
<li>The ODM manifest lists HALs specific to the product. VINTF Object loads the ODM manifest as
follows:
<ol>
<li>If <code><var>SKU</var></code> is defined (where <code><var>SKU</var></code> is the value of
the property <code>ro.boot.product.hardware.sku</code>),
<code>/odm/etc/vintf/manifest_<var>SKU</var>.xml</code>
</li>
<li><code>/odm/etc/vintf/manifest.xml</code></li>
<li>If <code><var>SKU</var></code> is defined,
<code>/odm/etc/manifest_<var>SKU</var>.xml</code></li>
<li><code>/odm/etc/manifest.xml</code></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>VINTF Object loads the device manifest as follows:
<ol>
<li>If <code>/vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml</code> exists, combine the following:
<ol>
<li><code>/vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml</code></li>
<li>optional vendor manifest fragments</li>
<li>optional ODM manifest
<li>optional ODM manifest fragments</li>
</ol>
<li>If ODM manifest exists, combine ODM manifest with optional ODM manifest fragments.</li>
<li><code>/vendor/manfiest.xml</code> (legacy, no fragments)</li>
</ol>
Note that:
<ul>
<li>On legacy devices, the legacy vendor manifest and ODM manifest are used. The
ODM manifest may completely override the legacy vendor manifest.</li>
<li>On devices launched with Android {{ androidPVersionNumber }}, the ODM manifest is combined
with vendor manifest.</li>
<li>When combining a list of manifests, manifests that appear later in the list may override
tags in manifests that appear earlier in the list, provided that the tags in the later
manifest has attribute <code>override="true"</code>. For example, ODM manifest may override
some <code><hal></code> tags from vendor manifest. See documentation for attribute
<code>override</code> below.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This setup enables multiple products with the same board to share the same
vendor image (which provides common HALs) yet have different ODM images (which
specify product-specific HALs).</p>
<p>Example vendor manifest:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">

<h2 id="framework-manifest-file">Framework manifest</h2>

<li><code>true</code>: override other <code><hal></code> elements with
the same <code><name></code> and major version. If no
<code><version></code> or <code><fqname></code> are in this
<code><hal></code> element, then the <code><hal></code> element
declares this HAL to be disabled.</li>

with the same <code><name></code> and major version.</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><code>manifest.hal.name</code></dt>

<code>framework/hardware/interfaces</code>, or<code>
system/hardware/interfaces</code>.
<br><br>
HIDL and native HALs may use multiple version fields as long as they represent
