# OpenHarmony Documentation Repository
[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/openharmony/badge/?version=latest)](https://openharmony.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
This repository provides the overarching documentation of the OpenHarmony
project. It does that by aggregating multiple `sphinx` projects part of
OpenHarmony ecosystem and consolidating all these documentation trees as part of
one, project-wide, `sphinx` project.
## Building the docs
As per the current implementation for satisfying aggregation of multiple
`sphinx` projects, the repository takes advantage of symlinks which assume a
workspace set up from [the manifest repository](https://git.ostc-eu.org/OSTC/OHOS/manifest/).
Once that is initialized and synced, one can build/validate the documentation
by simply running:
```
make
```

Welcome to OpenHarmony
##############################
OpenHarmony is an open-source operating system project launched by Huawei with the aim of developing a pool of devices that can communicate and co-operate together irrespective of their make and model.
OpenHarmony is bridging to a new IoT frontier where any devices you can imagine as connected together, you can imagine to do it transcending the traditional relation between devices and operating system. A revolutionary concept coming to life, thanks to a distributed architecture design based on a set of system capabilities. OpenHarmony OS is able to understand which features and capabilities will improve the UX and propose the best solution for a seamless user experience. It will run on a wide range of user devices that accompany your daily life from health, to fitness, to home appliances, and much more.
Why OpenHarmony?
************************
OpenHarmony is a device-independent platform. The initial version supports devices with 128 KB to 128 MB of memory and the subsequent versions will support higher memory and advanced devices. For device developers, OpenHarmony utilizes a component-based design to tailor its features to better suit specific devices, based on each device's capabilities and service characteristics. OpenHarmony can run on devices with limited resources and wearables with hundreds of KB of memory, as well as more powerful devices, such as smart home cameras and dashcams with hundreds of MB of memory.
