HUAWEI announced! The two major operating systems "Hongmeng + Euler" will open up and connect the whole scene, and never give up the mobile phone business!
Electronic enthusiasts network reported (text / Huang Jingjing) September 25, the news of Huawei Meng Wanzhou's return to China was screened. According to CCTV reports, on the 24th local time, Meng Wanzhou delivered a brief speech outside the court in British Columbia, Canada. Meng Wanzhou said: "Thank my motherland and the people of my motherland for their support and help to me. This is the biggest pillar I have come to today. Thank you everyone!"...

Indeed, the return of Meng Wanzhou this time is exciting. For Huawei, this may mean a new beginning. In fact, Huawei has not only not given up on hardware innovation, but has also made breakthroughs in software.
The first full-scene version of Euler's open source operating system is released

On the same day, at the Huawei 2021 Full Connect Conference, Huawei Vice President and President of Computing Product Line Deng Taihua announced the official release of the first full-scene version of the openEuler open source operating system.

Deng Taihua said that servers, storage, cloud, edge, base stations, etc. all require operating systems. We hope to open up applications through a unified operating system architecture. Today we have fully opened up this capability and upgraded Euler from server to cloud to edge. Embedded scenes from computing to CT and OT become a unified open source operating system for digital infrastructure.

Specifically, this unification is not a simple superposition of functions. New Euler adopts full component atomization, supports flexible core combination, and full-stack service-oriented IT construction. It can support flexible tailoring according to equipment and service requirements, and build different operating systems on demand. Version to meet the requirements of different devices for the operating system. At the same time, it supports the construction of service self-organizing network, and supports menu-style configuration of kernel and system services. It can be freely combined for different levels of software package, file level, and function level, simplifying version construction.

Euler also provides a multi-device collaboration kit to achieve mutual assistance and resource sharing between different devices. In this way, one development covers the whole scene. Through a set of standard APIs, ICT and OT provide a unified API for all scenarios to realize the unification of operating system application interaction languages. At the same time, the data capabilities, audio and video capabilities, and security capabilities required by various applications are uniformly packaged through the Euler SDK to achieve minimalist development.

The first innovative version of openEuler 21.09 that supports all scenarios of digital infrastructure officially released at this conference will be launched in the community on September 30. This version enhances server and cloud computing scenario capabilities, and supports edge computing and embedded scenarios for the first time. Huawei's system enhances its scenario-based capabilities through community co-construction and partner joint creation. It will release an LTS version that supports the integration of all scenarios in the community in March next year, enabling partners to release commercial releases for different scenarios.

Up to now, more than 6000 developers and more than 100 companies, universities, organizations and institutions have joined the Euler community, bringing together partners in the entire industry chain from processors, complete machines, operating system release vendors, to industry applications, etc. More than a dozen leading companies in mainstream operating systems have released commercial versions based on Euler. Euler's new release will attract more partners in the cloud, edge, and embedded fields to join the community, and jointly accelerate Euler's wide-ranging application in the entire field of digital infrastructure.
Euler will get through with Hongmeng

Euler and Hongmeng operating systems have different positioning. Euler is an open source operating system for digital infrastructure, and Hongmeng is a smart terminal operating system for the Internet of Everything. If Euler and Hongmeng are further connected, Deng Taihua can better serve the entire digital scene. , This is very critical.

According to reports, Euler and Hongmeng have realized the sharing of core technology. Huawei plans to transplant Hongmeng’s distributed soft bus capabilities to Euler, so that devices equipped with the Euler operating system can automatically identify and connect to Hongmeng terminals. In the future, we will further realize the sharing of capabilities in terms of security OS, device driver frameworks, and new programming languages. Realize ecological interoperability through capability sharing.

We see that Euler faces digital infrastructure and Hongmeng faces the Internet of Everything. If Huawei connects the two, it will be a truly full-scale scenario. At present, in the field of smart terminals, Hongmeng has more than 100 million users. After crossing this milestone, the number of users is expected to increase exponentially. The operating system is the root of the basic software. It was the launch of the operating system that enabled Huawei to open a new world after the ban was affected and the smartphone business was frustrated.
Will not give up the mobile phone business, some car chips have been approved by the United States

On September 24, Huawei’s rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said that the current mobile phone business is indeed facing great challenges due to sanctions, but Huawei will not abandon the mobile phone business, nor will it sell the mobile phone business, and is working hard to get the mobile phone business back on track in due course. This needs to wait a few years, although it is very difficult, but at least there must be a dream.

In addition, he said that low-end automotive chips have been licensed in the United States, mainly for chips for the automotive business.

Similarly, we have also seen that although Huawei’s mobile phone business has suffered setbacks, Huawei should have the confidence to break through. However, the difficulty can be imagined. This is because it is too much a challenge to bypass advanced lithography machines to produce advanced communication chips in a short period of time.

Under the pressure of chip supply, it was previously rumored that Huawei's X86 server business was seeking to sell. Xu Zhijun also responded. He said that Huawei's X86 server has indeed encountered difficulties, and everyone knows the difficulties. We are also actively addressing this issue. We are in contact with some potential investors. There is no final result. We will let you know if there is progress.

This basically confirms that Huawei's X86 server business is seeking to sell. Earlier, it was rumored that it would be packaged for sale and sold to the Suzhou State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
