1. Feature Overview

1.1 Feature Purpose

The Hardware Abstraction feature provides a clean separation between application logic and hardware interfaces for the ASF Sensor Hub. This feature ensures hardware independence, maintainability, and testability by abstracting all hardware access through well-defined interfaces and preventing direct hardware access from the application layer.

1.2 Feature Scope

In Scope:

  • Sensor Abstraction Layer (SAL) for uniform sensor access
  • Hardware interface abstraction for I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, GPIO
  • Storage interface abstraction for SD Card and NVM
  • Display and user interface abstraction
  • GPIO discipline enforcement and resource conflict detection

Out of Scope:

  • Hardware driver implementation details (delegated to ESP-IDF)
  • Hardware-specific performance optimizations
  • Physical hardware design and pin assignments
  • Low-level hardware debugging interfaces
