Huawei's "Second Sword": After Hongmeng, Euler arrives

If you want to ask what's most worthy of attention recently, I don't think there is anything more exciting than the return of Meng Wanzhou to the embrace of the motherland.

On September 25, 1028 days later, Ms. Meng Wanzhou finally set foot on the land of the motherland again. This is of extraordinary significance for both , Huawei and the country. At the same time, this is also the result of the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the result of the unremitting efforts of the Chinese government, and the result of the strong support of the people across the country. And the sentence she said in a brief speech at the airport: If there is a color in faith, it must be Chinese red, and it has moved countless Chinese people.

It is worth mentioning that also on September 25, Huawei offered its "second knife" in the field of operating systems-the new release of the operating system Euler (openEuler) ). So, what is the difference between this operating system and the Hongmeng system? What is its function and the meaning of its birth? Today, Brother Circle will come and have a chat with everyone.

· What is the Euler system?

According to our understanding, Huawei Euler system is a B-side, server-oriented operating system with high performance, reliability, easy maintenance and security. Moreover, it can also achieve good compatibility with the industry's software and hardware to meet the needs of daily business operation, maintenance and management. It can be widely deployed in various forms of equipment such as servers, cloud computing, edge computing, and embedded. The application scenarios cover IT (information technology), CT (communication technology), and OT (operation technology). Committed to providing a safe, stable, and easy-to-use operating system, achieving a unified operating system to support multiple devices, and covering all scenarios in one development.

function,Euler operating system adopts the atomic structure of full components and supports flexible combination of kernels. It can be flexibly tailored according to the resource capabilities and business characteristics of different devices, and full-stack services can be constructed on demand to meet the requirements of most devices for operating systems.

At the same time, the Euler system also supports self-service construction. Through the "menu-style" configuration of the kernel and system services, different levels of software package , files, and even functions can be flexibly combined to achieve Simplify the construction of operating system versions.

Moreover, Euler system can also provide a multi-device collaboration kit, including "side-cloud" collaboration, unify data, network and management, realize mutual assistance and resource sharing between different devices, and optimize the hardware performance.

In addition, Euler also creatively proposed the whole-site atomization decoupling , which supports flexible construction of different versions and flexible southbound combination of services. Sexual equipment, northbound full-scene application.

In fact, Huawei's Euler operating system is not a new product. As early as 2019, it was launched in the form of open source community , but it was only used for "Kunpeng" servers at that time. Now, Euler’s new release, which undoubtedly indicates that this operating system has mature commercial capabilities.

· Why did Huawei launch Euler? What is the meaning of its birth?

Having said this, I believe that many friends may ask questions: Huawei has already released the Hongmeng system before, why did it launch the Euler system? What are the differences between these two systems?

Friends who are familiar with the Hongmeng system should know,Its main focus is the Internet of Everything, which is mainly used in terminal products such as mobile phones, watches, and tablets, and is committed to promoting seamless switching between hardware terminals of different brands and categories. The Euler system focuses on the construction of digital infrastructure, and the goal is to become a unified operating system and ecological base for the national digital infrastructure, and undertake the historical mission of supporting the construction of a leading, reliable and safe digital foundation. Simply put, the Hongmeng system serves ordinary consumers, and the Euler system serves corporate users.

Although there are certain differences in positioning between the two systems, their fundamental goals are very consistent. As we all know, different fields on the market currently have their own operating systems. For example, mobile phones and other smart devices are iOS and Android, and the PC side is mainly Windows. Although with the blessing of these systems, our daily use experience is not bad, but among them There are also certain problems. That is, the system and the ecosystem are independent of each other, which makes it difficult for digital infrastructure to collaborate in different scenarios, and there are problems such as ecological fragmentation and repeated development. The emergence of Harmony and Euler can meet the needs of different application scenarios through a unified operating system architecture, and this is the fundamental reason why Huawei creates Euler and Harmony.

In addition, due to technical limitations, my country's ICT industry is relatively backward in terms of hardware and software, which directly leads to the development of Chinese technology companies and is easily "stuck" by others. , Huawei is the best example. The emergence of Hongmeng and Euler will effectively alleviate the situation that the operating system is restricted by others.

· Euler + Hongmeng = the future?

The launch of Hongmeng and Euler is just the first step in Huawei's deployment in the field of digital terminals. Next, Huawei will realize the interconnection between Hongmeng and Euler.

At the press conference, Huawei’s Vice President and President of Computing Product Line Deng Taihua said,Hongmeng and Euler have now realized the sharing of core technology. The next step will be to transplant the distributed soft bus capability in the Hongmeng system to the Euler system, so that the devices equipped with Euler operating system can automatically identify and connect to the Hongmeng operating system. Terminal.

Not only that, in the future, the two will further complete the sharing of security OS, device driver frameworks and new programming languages, and achieve ecological interoperability through capability sharing, thereby further realizing the interconnection of everything. Simply put, Huawei's goal is "Hongmeng + Euler = the future of the digital age."

Of course, in order to become the future of the digital age, the establishment of the ecosystem and the support of users are inevitable. It is reported that since the open source of the Euler system in 2019, it has gained active support and response from the industry by virtue of its advantages in many aspects. Up to now, more than 6000 developers and more than 100 companies, organizations and institutions have joined Euler. With the continuous improvement of the system ecosystem, more partners are bound to join the Euler community in the future to jointly accelerate Euler's coverage in the entire field of digital infrastructure.

As for the Hongmeng system, it goes without saying that since the start of the upgrade on June 2 this year, the number of upgraded users of HarmonyOS 2.0 has exceeded 120 million, which is the fastest growth rate in the world. Mobile operating system. In addition, HarmonyOS 2.0 has 400+ application and service partners, 1700+ hardware partners, and 1.3 million+ developers participating in the construction of the Hongmeng ecosystem.

· With the "soul", will the "core" be far away?

For the release of the Euler system,Huawei's rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said that Euler is an important step in Huawei's "soul casting project." So what is meant by "soul casting"? It is understood that the lack of "core" and less "soul" has always been the shackles that hinder the development of my country's ICT industry. The "core" refers to the chip and the "soul" refers to the operating system. Now, with the birth of Hongmeng and Euler, the problem of "less soul" has been solved, so we have reason to believe that the "core" is not far away.

Although the core shortage problem still plagues Huawei's mobile phone business, Xu Zhijun said that Huawei will not give up the mobile phone business, but will continue to carry on the mobile phone business. At present, Huawei is actively and working hard to solve the chip problem. In the near future, Huawei's mobile phone business will be back on track.

In general, we have to admit Huawei's strength in the field of innovative technology. Although the mobile phone business is restricted, it has blossomed outside the mobile phone business. Whether it is Hongmeng, Euler, 5G, or the construction of the ecosystem, Huawei has proven through successes time and time again that Huawei is able to go to this day by no means alone. And these also make Huawei's future development even more exciting.
