Lol, u guys expect Huawei to expose their microkernel with super-low latency to the world?
No, not in the sense that they need to make it open source.
But like Ars said, they could at least show some code that aren't simple modifications from AOSP, as yet they don't even provide enough for a dev to be able to write anything that runs natively on said kernel, Linux can emulate Windows because somebody wrote an emulator.

>That's when Google/Android gets permanently kicked out of the Chinese market for US gov messing around with Huawei when other phone makers in China opt to use Harmony OS too!
Laughable claim. Even ZTE, another major beneficiary of heavy CCP subsidies and political favors, declared unmistakable refusal to use HarmonyOS, much less the other more private manufacturers Xiaomi and the BBK squad, but I'm not gonna argue politics with you since it's pointless anyway.

"At least try proving said kernel exists"

Right, so let me give u an analogy.  Linux can run Windows software (it's emulating Windows environment but actually interacting with Linux kernel not Windows kernel underneath).  No amount of digging can expose the Linux kernel source code.  All u ever gonna find digging and digging are Windows libraries.  U won't get the kernel source code unless the Linux creator gives it to u.  Without knowing that Linux uses its own kernel to execute Windows apps, u then begin to think Linux is actually based on Microsoft Windows.

Unless u reverse engineer Harmony OS kernel, all u ever gonna find is AOSP code coz the phone version of Harmony OS is meant to be able to run Android apk.  Eventually, the Harmony OS ecosystem will be able to run native Harmony OS software and Android apk.  But Google Android will not be able to run Harmony OS apps coz they use different kernels.  That's when Google/Android gets permanently kicked out of the Chinese market for US gov messing around with Huawei when other phone makers in China opt to use Harmony OS too!

Lol, u guys expect Huawei to expose their microkernel with super-low latency to the world?  Get real, Google can charge a license fee for Google Android, even though most of the code is from AOSP coz Google version of Android contains propietary code.  Harmony OS proprietary code is the ingenious kernel that gives IoT phones and other devices super-low latency.  Huawei did promise to make Harmony OS open source.  This business genius move means they'll reveal everything above the kernel (the portion of the code above the kernel that comes from AOSP) to the world.  Fat chance they took all that software engineering talent to develop the microkernel that is the real heart of Harmony OS and give it to the world for free!

This article is ridiculous. First you say that Huawei isn't using android OS because of being on US entity list. Then you say that Huawei's new operating system is basically built on android OS, which you just said is illegal. So which one is it? "Huawei can't use US stuff" or "Huawei can only copy US stuff". You have two narratives, and you can't use both.
Have a brain, pal.

The kernel of Harmony OS is the genius part.  Has lower latency than anything Google ever produced.  The code that interacts with the kernel comes from AOSP, which Huawei made significant contributions.  To say Harmony OS is a fork of Android is a lie.  Linux can run Windows software but is the kernel come from Microsoft?  So Huawei created this original OS kernel that is way superior to Android, then stacks some code from AOSP onto the kernel so it can run Android apk...  And everyone thinks Harmony OS is some fork of Android!
The standing issue, at least up to the moment of the publication of the Ars article, is that no part of the so-called original kernel is exposed to users or even devs, no amount of digging resulted in Harmony OS leaving AOSP, IOW everything they found was AOSP, or AOSP with minimal modifications. At least try proving said kernel exists, the only way that would settle things, or else you're just another one of those Huawei trolls parroting Huawei propaganda, maybe even one of those behind the spamming of the previous articles.

Huawei has confirmed that its HarmonyOS will start to roll out from April 2021. This in-house OS is intended to replace EMUI, which is based on Android, on its mobile devices. This process will start with the Mate X2, the OEM's latest foldable flagship.
