Getting Started with HIL SDK

The HIL SDK is included with the HIL product and contains a number of interfaces to get your tests off the ground. These interface classes include BLE, GPIO, JTAG, and more. There are even interfaces for specific vendor APIs from companies like Nordic.

To include the HIL SDK in your project, ensure it is copied into your HIL root directory with the name hil_sdk. This helps the gateway device find it and install Python dependencies. As mentioned in Other Python Code, the HIL SDK has its own requirements.txt file that takes precedence over your user-provided requirements.txt files. Take this into consideration as you manage your dependencies.

There are no special instructions or steps needed to use the HIL SDK in your project. The hil_sdk folder is simply a Python package and can be used in your code like any other python package (see the examples). Import statements will begin with from hil_sdk import. The files in the SDK are part of your repository just like the rest of your HIL tests, and can be removed or modified to fit your specific needs.
