preface

As has been said before, Yesterday afternoon, Huawei held its 2019 development conference and officially launched Harmony OS. Its related person in charge says, also is based on Microsoft kernel full scenario distributed OS

Hongmeng relies on the advantage of microkernel and uses the distributed architecture to improve efficiency. While the traditional Android code is larger and more redundant, although Google is developing Fuchsia system, but Yu Chengdong pointed out that it is not distributed design, performance is poor. As for Apple, it’s a hybrid kernel, and now it’s a fragmented and closed ecosystem.

What’s the bright spot?

  • Flexibly adapt to various terminals in all scenarios
  • The distributed architecture was first used for terminal OS
  • Capability sharing between terminals is implemented
  • Distributed softbus brings minimalism protocol
  • Determine the delay engine to bring a smooth and stable user experience
  • High-performance IPC improves interprocess communication efficiency by 5 times
  • The formal approach significantly improves TEE kernel security
  • Natural root-free fine-grained permission control improves system security at the source

All right, let’s put some pictures here, and you’ll see

Huawei Hongmeng system is compatible with those systems

  • Linux
  • Unix
  • The android system

Hongmon OS will be open source to developers worldwide

Huawei Hongmeng OS is officially launched! Global open source, if Android is not available, always available hongmeng. Huawei officials said that Hongmeng OS will open source to developers around the world and will promote the establishment of an open-source foundation to establish an open source community.

Hongmeng system application scope

  • Mobile phone
  • Smart screen products
  • wear
  • Wisdom screen
  • Car machine
  • communication
  • photographic
  • The whole scene
  • AI
  • autopilot
  • telemedicine

Android compatible?

Compatible with

Hongmon OS Evolution roadmap: Release 2.0 next year

2017 Hongmeng kernel 1.0, complete technical verification

2018 Hongmeng Kernel 2.0, for terminal TEE

In 2019, Hongmao OS 1.0 was developed based on the key modules of open source framework, distributed architecture, ark compiler, determinative delay engine, TEE microkernel formal verification, and multi-terminal development IDE(Beta) for smart screen

In 2020, hongmontOS 2.0 kernel and application framework self-research, general micro kernel architecture, high-performance graphics stack, support multi-language unified compilation, multi-terminal DEVELOPMENT IDE, meet the vehicle standard level, for the innovation of domestic PC, watch/wristband, vehicle machine

2021 Hongmeng OS 3.0 software and hardware collaborative optimization, vertical acceleration file system, software and hardware collaborative high-performance IPC, for speakers, headphones

Hongmeng will be used in VR glasses and more devices after 2022.

Based on the vision hongmeng Huawei will achieve

Build hongmeng OS ecology for the world.

In this respect, Huawei’s advantages are reflected in the following three aspects:

The first is rooted in China, the world’s largest single market. Huawei says it will rely on China to build the Hongmeng OS ecosystem. Huawei will apply hongmeng system in many convenient ways, which has been mentioned above, but will not be expounded here.

The second is that Huawei has a large enough user base. According to data released by Huawei, the company shipped 206 million mobile phones in 2018. As of May 30 this year, Huawei has shipped more than 100 million handsets in 2019. According to the comprehensive data, Huawei is the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.

The third and last is the advanced 5G technology layout. At present, Huawei has a layout around 5G in the four aspects of terminal, tube, cloud and core, creating “1+8+N three-layer structured products, in which 1 refers to smart phones, 8 refers to self-developed products such as tablets and smart speakers, and N is a large number of IOT devices”. For example, Huawei’s Mate 20 X (5G) will be officially launched this month. Balong 5000, a self-developed 5G multi-mode terminal chip, and Huawei 5G CPE Pro, the world’s first 5G commercial terminal based on the chip, have also been officially commercialized and released.

It can be said that hongmeng OS will not only bring consumers the ultimate experience of full-scene intelligent life with Internet of everything, but also become an important ecological service in the era of 5G+AI+IOT explosion.

“Huawei believes that the launch of Hongmeng OS will greatly enhance the vitality of the industry and the richness of the ecological environment, and hopes that the launch of Hongmeng OS will bring more colorful experiences to the full-scene era,” said Yu Chengdong, a relevant official. And said it would release hongmon OS2.0 next year

Huawei doesn’t want to give up android

We all know that “HongMeng system” precise control of time delay in the following five milliseconds, achieve millisecond to the millisecond, even could even surpass Google Android (Android) or apple Mac OS X, but huawei has been don’t want to rely on an operating system and the existence of space to squeeze the other operating system.

That’s why Huawei doesn’t want to give up on Android, and hasn’t made a final decision on whether to extend the “Hongmongos” route to its mobile operating system, squeezing Google’s Android or Apple’s Mac OS X. When the application ecosystem of this “Hongmeng System” is complete, we believe that Huawei will realize the idea of having a domestic operating system to control the Internet of Things, so that this “Hongmeng System” will be recognized by more partners around the world, and further enhance the scientific and technological strength of our country.

Do not do the spare tire, only to open up the era of Hongmeng

The hongmeng system has long been considered by many to be a “backup” for Android in that lab, where huawei’s r&d team worked for years to overcome its technical challenges with the goal of replacing Android. In my opinion, Hongmon system has already stood on the shoulders of giants and is likely to form a three-way relationship with iOS and Android. It can be deployed on a variety of terminals. It is naturally root-free and compatible with Linux and Android.

Impact on Android developers

I believe many mobile developers have a deep thinking. While Huawei doesn’t want to give up android, we need a sense of crisis. I think what we are worried about is what everyone is worried about. I don’t think you need to worry about the day when Android is going to fade and take over and you have to learn a new language and you have to maintain your old projects. If that happens, I think a lot of people will have become the best in the technology. Management, entrepreneurship, career change, etc., even if you have been engaged in technology research and development, then at that time, you must be able to learn a language quickly, after all, we are always in the life to think, continue to learn to grow

Summary and Outlook

Hongmeng OS never rains, it hits the big time, Android and iOS are better!

Can not help but remind me of huawei’s official website this sentence of enterprise vision: to build an intelligent world where everything is connected. With the Hongmeng operating system, I believe that China can independently develop the operating system, but also to show the strength of our country. Hope Huawei can get better and better!
