Build

ets_frontend uses the command line interaction mode and converts JS code into ARK bytecode files that can be run on an ARK runtime system. ets_frontend supports Windows, Linux, and macOS. Front-end tools, converting JS source code into ARK bytecode, can be built by specifying the --build-target with ets_frontend_build on Linux.

$ ./build.sh --product-name rk3568 --build-target ets_frontend_build

Usage Guidelines

Usage For Es2panda

Use the es2abc executable under the ets_frontend component to convert JavaScript files into Ark bytecode files

$ cd out/rk3568/clang_x64/arkcompiler/ets_frontend/
$ ./es2abc [options] file.js

If no parameter is specified for [options], an ARK binary file is generated by default.
