Three and a half years of open source, OpenHarmony (hereinafter referred to as "Open Source Hongmeng") ushered inFaceuppaigowNew developments have been made. The OpenHarmony developer Conference 2024 was held on May 25th. At the conference, the technical standard for unified interconnection of open source Hongmeng equipment was officially released, which will iteratively expand the scope of basic interconnection based on the demands of manufacturers.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of Terminal BG and chairman of Smart car solution BU, said at the meeting that more than 2000 Huawei developers have supported the development of open source Hongmeng community, contributing more than 62 million lines of core code. At present, the number of native applications of HarmonyOS NEXT Hongmeng Xinghe Edition has exceeded 4000.

For a long time, various industry brand operating systems are independent and difficult to cooperate with each other, which has become a pain point for their interconnection. "the release of the unified interconnection technical standard for Hongmeng equipment is of great significance and is another breakthrough in Hongmeng ecology. The standard provides a consistent standard interface for the previously separated equipment systems, and lays a solid foundation for the accelerated development of the original Hongmeng. At the same time, the standard also provides strong support for cross-system and cross-industry equipment exchange, which will effectively promote the healthy development of the Wisdom industry. " Hao Jiasheng, an associate professor at the School of Automation Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology, said in an interview with the Securities Daily.

Usher in a unified standard

"OpenHarmony has been open source for three and a half years and achieved great-leap-forward development." Liu Xiaowan, executive chairman of the OpenHarmony project group working committee and vice president of Huawei terminal BG software department, revealed that so far, more than 300 partners have joined open source Hongmeng ecological co-construction.

The first official debut of the Hongmeng operating system dates back to 2020. At that time, Huawei released the Hongmeng operating system and donated the source code of the system to the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation. In a short period of more than three years, a total of 596 software and hardware products from 227 manufacturers have passed the open source Hongmeng compatibility test. According to the latest data from Huawei, Hongmeng currently has more than 800 million ecological equipment. Liu Xiaojian said that Hongmeng has become the fastest growing open source operating system in the field of smart terminals.

In order to further solve how to break the original independent ecological barriers and achieve a real connection in the process of Hongmeng ecological development, the "OpenHarmony equipment Unified Interconnection Technical Standard" was officially launched by the Ecological Committee of the Open Source Hongmeng Project Group. According to reports, the technical standard aims to build a unified ecology, and according to the design principle of "universal, modular, and scalable", it realizes the interconnection between cross-industry devices based on open source Hongmeng, and promotes the prosperity and development of the ecology.

"the release of this standard indicates that Hongmeng Ecology will accelerate the realization of broader basic interconnection, respond to the urgent needs of manufacturers for standard unification, and will continue to iteratively upgrade to cover more application scenarios and promote deep cooperation and integration of the industrial chain." Ma Chao, MVP of Huaweiyun, told Securities Daily.

According to Yuan Bo, a researcher at the Institute of Economics, the launch of this standard means that Kaiyuan Hongmeng's ecological software and hardware has entered a stage of substantial deployment, and open source Hongmeng has achieved a breakthrough from independent ecological applications to overall end-to-end solutions.

Acceleration of ecological co-construction in Hongmeng

The continued prosperity and iteration of Hongmeng's ecology is based on the continuous expansion of its circle of friends. A reporter from the Securities Daily learned that at this conference, many enterprises, such as Shenkaihong, Jiulian Kaihong, Honghu Wanlian, Kaihong Zhigu, China soft International, and so on, participated in it and brought the latest progress in adapting to Hongmen. behind it are many listed companies, such as Jiulian Science and Technology, soft Power, Tuowei Information, and so on.

In addition to the construction of ecology itself, developers are also jointly focusing on the collaborative capabilities of AI technologies such as Hongmeng and large models. Ren Gelin, chairman of the OpenHarmony project management committee, said that OpenHarmony has added end-to-side training capabilities.

Softcom said that in terms of open source Hongmeng, the company created the industry's first operating system with a cross-instruction set. Based on Hongmeng, Teng Teng and other ecological support, soft Power's AI series business has landed in a number of industries. Nine United Technology said that the company has invested heavily in research and development on the side of "AI+ Hongmeng", and the open source Hongmeng has adapted to the development board developed by the company.

Tuowei Information announced that the company has formed a full stack layout in the root technology field of "AI+ Hongmeng". In addition, Jingwei Hengrun, Shangsheng Electronics and other enterprises have also announced their new research and development progress in automotive electronics, computer vision and other areas.

"under the unified standard, the Hongmeng industrial chain accelerates the connection and accelerates the innovation and cooperation. The Hongmeng terminal is the priority landing scene of the Pangu model, and the relevant listed companies in the core plate of marginal computing power and intelligent terminals are expected to benefit. " Ming Shuliang, founder of Zhiwu Technology, told reporters.

Hongmeng ecology has infiltrated into the industry, and it is also opening up more industrial space. Yu Chengdong said this time that more and more partners have joined Hongmeng Ecology, which is expected to open up a new blue ocean of trillion yuan industry.

Hao Jiasheng suggested that accelerating the joint construction of Hongmeng ecology requires the joint promotion of all parties, combined with talent training, policies, standards, etc., to achieve unified adaptive research and development, joint innovation.
