HUAWEI just announced HarmonyOS, the company's own open source operating system for smartphones, tablets and smart IoT devices such as smart speakers, computers, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, cars and more. This was announced at the HUAWEI Developer's Conference (HDC) 2019 in China today. CEO Richard Yu said that the HarmonyOS is the first microkernel-based distributed OS for all scenarios and was created with four major building blocks in mind, ensuring a new generation OS that is best suited for the digital world today. The HarmonyOS microkernel can be scaled on demand for wider system security. The Microkernel does away with root access to protect system security from the source compared to Android. It is built with a deterministic latency engine that gives a smooth interactive experience, so the latency is at a minimum; bringing fluid interactive experience to the maximum. HarmonyOS will have a verified TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) which improves connected security across multiple smart devices in a connected all-scenario world. HarmonyOS can be nested to adapt flexibly to any device to create a seamless cross-device experience. Developed via the distributed capability kit, it builds the foundation of a shared developer ecosystem. The OS uses HUAWEI ARK Compiler with support for app development in multiple languages (Kotlin, Java, Javascript, C, and C++). The platform will ...
