he key step taken by this core technology in the open source field is to jointly launch the world's first Armv9 architecture open source hardware "Star Rui O6" with Renesas. By providing a high-performance open development platform, it promotes the full-link collaboration from software and hardware adaptation, software open source, industry standardization to product solution creation, helps to build software and hardware standards based on Armv9, and effectively reduces ecological fragmentation.
Since 2025, this core technology has achieved a systematic breakthrough in the contribution of open source software and upstream code, and has continuously accelerated the process of merging the main line code of Linux kernel. According to Zhou Jie, the company has successively released v6.1 kernel (DT) and v6.6 kernel (ACPI) codes, and continuously promoted the development and upstream integration of related codes. As of November 19th, this kernel technology has contributed 30 patches and more than 4,500 lines of code to the Linux kernel mainline, and nearly 120,000 lines of code to the openKylin and deepin communities, and was awarded the most influential project of openKylin for its outstanding contributions.
In terms of firmware open source, this core technology has further opened TF-A and OP-TEE security firmware in the near future after opening the EDK2 UEFI firmware in March. Relying on its P1 chip based on Armv9.2 architecture, the firmware system not only supports the security technology of Arm TrustZone, but also introduces security technologies such as Secure EL2, which can better empower system innovation.
Moreover, this core technology has officially opened its AI model warehouse in the "Magic Ride Community", including 115 end-side AI models and 19 demo programs optimized for the deployment of this core P1, covering the direction of mainstream AI scenes, and supporting a variety of mainstream reasoning frameworks, which greatly facilitates the development and deployment of AI applications on this core chip.
In terms of ecological construction of developers, this Early Bird Program has achieved remarkable results. At present, there are more than 300 registered people, 168 domestic and foreign manufacturers and 25 domestic and foreign universities. Many participants and partners work together to build an active and innovative developer ecosystem. At the conference, this core developer center was officially launched, which will provide developers with more platforms for technical support, resource sharing and exchanges and cooperation in the future.
