<h2>HAL API<a class="headerlink" href="#hal-api" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A HAL always includes header file with function declarations for the HAL
functionality in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/hw/hal/include/hal</span></code>. The first argument of all
functions in the interface typically include the virtual device_id of
the device you are controlling.</p>
<p>For example, in
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">`hal_gpio.h</span></code> &lt;<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-core/blob/master/hw/hal/include/hal/hal_gpio.h">https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-core/blob/master/hw/hal/include/hal/hal_gpio.h</a>&gt;`__
the device enumeration is the first argument to most methods and called
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pin</span></code>.</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">void hal_gpio_write(int pin, int val);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The device_id (in this case called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pin</span></code>) is not a physical device
(actual hardware pin), but a virtual pin which is defined by the
implementation of the HAL (and documented in the implementation of the
HAL).</p>
