| # Platform Surface Area ("Plasa") |
| |
| Fuchsia Platform Surface Area (hereafter: "Plasa" for short) is an explicit |
| declarative record of the [Fuchsia System Interface][fsi]. It is intended to |
| capture the pertinent state at the time the [Fuchsia Integrator Development Kit |
| (IDK)][idk] has been built. |
| |
| This subsection of [`fuchsia.dev`][fxdev] describes Plasa for users and |
| implementors alike. |
| |
| ## Documentation |
| |
| * [Platform Surface Area Manifest][plasadoc] design document |
| |
| ## Uses |
| |
| Plasa provides input to the following efforts: |
| |
| * Platform versioning per [RFC-0002][rfc2] |
| * [Compatibility Tests for Fuchsia (CTF)][cts] per [RFC0015][rfccts] |
| |
| ## Limitations |
| |
| Currently, Plasa provides the following platform surface fragments: |
| |
| * The [FIDL][fidl] API fragments for all public FIDL APIs in the |
| [Fuchsia SDK][sdk] |
| * The C and C++ API fragments for all public C++ APIs in the Fuchsia SDK. |
| |
| While this falls short of fully describing the entire Fuchsia System Interface, |
| work is underway to backfill the missing platform surface fragments. |
