We often see donations of books, money and clothes to support public welfare undertakings.
However, have your friends seen the feat of donating a "system"?
This donation system is none other than Huawei, a well-known technology giant in China.
Just last week, the brand-new HarmonyOS system OS2 went on the market, which set off the whole science and technology circle. In a blink of an eye, the HarmonyOS system was donated.
According to official media reports, Huawei donated the core infrastructure of HarmonyOS system to the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation, and the open source project was named OpenHarmony.
When Brother Bi first saw the news, like many friends, he was shocked and forced.
It is too arrogant to put yourself into the overtime work of more than 5000 engineers day and night and spend a lot of money to develop the bottom layer of the system to others.
On closer inspection, it turns out that the original donated infrastructure was not donated by HarmonyOS System, which is quite different.
For example, if the system is regarded as a building, then the infrastructure is the foundation to support the building.
Huawei did not send out the building of HarmonyOS system, but dedicated the foundation of HarmonyOS system, that is, infrastructure, to others to build a house.
If other families want to carry it on their mobile phones or other smart products, they need to develop a UI to run normally.
In any case, this wave of Huawei is enough.
I believe my friends are very curious. The software of the system is burned by burning money. Why did you suddenly give it away?
In fact, after carefully considering the situation of HarmonyOS system, you will find that it is inevitable to donate to HarmonyOS system and move towards open source.
In the era of mobile internet, it is difficult for non-open source systems to survive.
Android, the mobile phone operating system, is familiar to everyone, and friends who use domestic mobile phones are in contact every day.
But do you know how scary Android is? Occupy nearly 80% market share of mobile phone system!
For every 10 smartphone produced in the world, 8 smartphones are equipped with Android system, and with the rise of domestic mobile phones, the share is still rising.
Undoubtedly, it is the real overlord in the field of mobile phones, and even iOS can't shake its position.
Android can have today's achievements, relying on "open source."
Back to 10 years ago, Android's former competitors, Apple, Microsoft and Nokia, still maintained the traditional closed-source strategy.
Saipan and iOS don't take out food, but they own it. Do mobile phone manufacturers want to use Windows Phone? Ok, pay Microsoft a protection fee first.
In such an environment, the open source Android system was announced when it was released, occupying a competitive advantage.
The underlying code of Android is donated to open handset alliance, which provides all enterprises with free use, allowing them to customize the third-party operating system based on Android architecture, namely UI.
Miui, Flyme, Color OS, EMUI and other familiar mobile phone systems are all from this.
Even if the interface of the first generation of Android copied from Apple, there were numerous bugs and endless problems.
But the temptation of free pie is too strong. Based on the consideration of interests, mobile phone manufacturers finally chose Android which can be used in Bai Piao.
With the open source strategy, Android has attracted a large number of developers and hardware manufacturers to join, and its ecology has been continuously improved, and finally it has been crushed by its huge volume.
Overthrow all opponents in one fell swoop, surpass iOS and become the king of the new generation of mobile phone systems.
Those closed-source systems facing the public have basically died, and a few rely on monopoly or great influence to stick to a corner.
Now Huawei donates HarmonyOS system architecture, which is the same as the original intention of Android open source.
First of all, we will attract manufacturers to join us through the free strategy, introduce more hardware, platforms and services equipped with HarmonyOS system, and quickly penetrate the market.
Only in this way can we get more users, increase the share, and at the same time drive developers to settle in, constantly improve the ecology and form a cycle.
With the joint efforts of many parties, we finally created a China's own system giant, and gained a firm foothold on Android and windows.
Numerous cases have proved that if an operating system has no user base and low market share, it will follow the footsteps of its predecessors and disappear in the long river of history sooner or later.
Mr. Wang, head of HarmonyOS System, also said in an interview:
The meaning behind this sentence is clear. 16% market share is the lifeline of HarmonyOS system.
Crossing the method of 16%, friends now know that lowering the threshold and implementing the free strategy for everyone to use is open source.
So the question is, where is a good place to open source in HarmonyOS system? On which platform are other vendors willing to use infrastructure?
Huawei gave the answer: Open Atomic Open Source Foundation.
Bigo checked Baidu Encyclopedia, which said that the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation was a non-profit organization established by ten Internet giants such as Huawei, Ali and Tencent.
The purpose of the establishment is to incubate open source content such as open source software, open source hardware and open source chips, and accelerate the development of industry enterprises.
To put it bluntly, this is a public welfare platform in the software field. The big boss put his own research and development technology on it to enjoy, and let the enterprise toss it around casually.
It doesn't matter who is formed, what matters is who is in power.
The business unit responsible for the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
In other words, the people are the official institutions rooted in Hong Miao, and the people behind them are the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Donating the structure of HarmonyOS system to an officially managed open source foundation is undoubtedly the most efficient and low-cost open source way.
(HarmonyOS system open source project started)
With official endorsement, concerns and obstacles can be greatly reduced, and it is more convenient for other companies to participate.
For example, mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi OV are competitors of Huawei mobile phones.
The system is the core of the most important mobile phone. Who would foolishly give their lifeblood to a competitive company?
What if you fuck me with the system in the future? It is reasonable to refuse to adopt the HarmonyOS system.
Huawei knows it well, and without saying anything, it will be handed over directly to the state for complete open source, okay?
Now with official supervision, the worries of major manufacturers have been solved, and you can go to the foundation to obtain the underlying source code at any time and freely transform it.
Moreover, the application scope of HarmonyOS system is super wide, covering smart homes, smart cars, industrial intelligence and other fields, and its universality is far beyond Android, which is in line with AIOT strategy of friends.
HarmonyOS benefited from the entry of major manufacturers. With the shipment of hardware equipment, its market share increases, which is very beneficial to its future development.
Perhaps it is not impossible to become the third largest mobile phone system in the world with the huge mobile phone market in China in the future.
But at present, the biggest obstacle facing friends and businessmen is U.S. imperialism: If we stand with HarmonyOS, Google Qualcomm and other enterprises, will they act in secret under the instigation of U.S. imperialism?
Commercial companies pay attention to interests, and whether to follow or not is based on commercial considerations, not moral support.
Therefore, Bige is not optimistic about the access of domestic mobile phone giants to HarmonyOS system, and mobile phone products may be brought to home appliances. Give me two points.
Friends don't have to be too pessimistic. With the open source of HarmonyOS system, Midea, Jiuyang, Skyworth and other established home appliance manufacturers have joined the HarmonyOS system ecology, and launched a variety of devices equipped with IOT version of HarmonyOS system.
At present, HarmonyOS system has 1000 hardware manufacturers, more than 300 applications and service providers, and the software and hardware ecological environment is constantly improving.
I believe that in the near future, we will see more products related to HarmonyOS system.
Bigger sincerely hopes that the HarmonyOS system will rise smoothly, not because it was developed by Huawei.
Just because the U.S. imperialists monopolized the operating system, HarmonyOS system is most likely to break the monopoly pattern of China system.
Help us get rid of the bad situation of being strangled by outsiders at any time. If we say sanctions, we will punish you, and if we kill you, we will kill you.
