%_TGTPLAT% Kernel Directory
The Kernel directory contains the device-specific source code files for the OEM adaptation layer (OAL). The following table shows the directories included in the Kernel directory.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| Buildexe | Source code files for building and linking the kernel |
| Hal | Source code files for the OAL |
The Buildexe directory contains the Kern, Kernkitl, and Kernkitlprof directories. The Kern directory contains the source files for building a kernel. The Kernkitl directory contains the source files for building a kernel with Kernel Independent Transport Layer (KITL). KITL is a protocol that separates the communication service protocol from the layer that directly communicates with the communication hardware. The Kernkitlprof directory contains the source files for building a kernel with KITL and Profiler. Profiler allows monitoring of a target platform's performance.
The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) directory contains directories for each supported microprocessor type, since the OAL differs for each.
