en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 12, Chipsea Technology and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement under the OpenHarmony ecosystem's "Hongtu Plan." The two parties will engage in deep collaboration around OpenHarmony chip modules to drive large-scale commercial adoption of the OpenHarmony ecosystem. This cooperation took place during the Huawei Developer Conference 2026, where Huawei simultaneously launched the "Hongtu Plan," proposing support for over 20 industries, 200 types of chips, and 1,200 types of devices using OpenHarmony, accelerating its transition from a terminal system to a broader industry device foundation.

Chipsea Technology has long been involved in the development of sensing, computing, control, and connectivity chips, building a product foundation in high-precision ADCs, MCUs, health measurement, pressure touch, BMS, and AIoT applications. For the OpenHarmony ecosystem to enter more industry scenarios, chip and module adaptation is a critical step. Different device forms have varying requirements for power consumption, interfaces, connectivity methods, real-time response, and security capabilities. Only when underlying chips and modules achieve stable adaptation with the system ecosystem can developers and terminal manufacturers complete product integration more quickly. The collaboration between Chipsea Technology and Huawei on chip modules helps lower the barrier for device manufacturers to access OpenHarmony.

The large-scale commercial use of OpenHarmony is not limited to consumer terminals like smartphones and tablets but also extends to industries such as industrial control, energy, transportation, smart homes, healthcare, instrumentation, and the broader IoT. Many industry devices do not require a complete and complex general-purpose operating system but need unified connectivity, a unified development framework, unified security mechanisms, and cross-device collaboration capabilities. If chips and modules are pre-adapted to OpenHarmony, more low-power, compact, and specialized devices can enter the ecosystem, thereby increasing the system's coverage density in industry scenarios.

Chipsea Technology has previously participated in the development of the OpenHarmony ecosystem. Public information shows that the company was included in the "HarmonyOS Connect Recommended Module" list and contributed to standard building and co-creation in areas such as smart meters. As of the end of 2024, Chipsea Technology had introduced over 300 HarmonyOS Connect project opportunities, completed the integration of 115 SKU products, and shipped nearly 40 million terminal products cumulatively. This indicates that the strategic cooperation under the "Hongtu Plan" is not starting from scratch but building on existing modules, device integration, and industry project experience.

For chip companies, participating in the OpenHarmony ecosystem also means a shift in product competition. In the past, chip manufacturers competed mainly on performance, power consumption, price, and supply capabilities. After entering an operating system ecosystem, development tools, system adaptation, certification processes, reference designs, and application scenarios all influence customer choices. If Chipsea Technology can establish stable solutions for OpenHarmony chip modules, it will more easily enter product chains in smart homes, industrial control, health devices, instrumentation, and more AIoT terminals.

For Huawei, the expansion of the OpenHarmony ecosystem requires more chip, module, and device partners. The Hongtu Plan emphasizes coverage across multiple industries, multiple chips, and multiple devices, and its actual implementation will rely on a large number of industry chain enterprises to complete underlying adaptation and terminal product validation. The involvement of companies like Chipsea Technology, which has experience in chip design, module solutions, and terminal customers, can help OpenHarmony achieve large-scale deployment in more segmented hardware scenarios and provide developers with more available hardware foundations.

This strategic cooperation will further drive OpenHarmony from the ecosystem development phase into the large-scale commercial phase. Chip modules are the fundamental link connecting the operating system and terminal devices, and they are also the key entry point for industry devices to quickly access a unified ecosystem. As the Hongtu Plan progresses, the collaboration between Chipsea Technology and Huawei on OpenHarmony chip modules is expected to improve the efficiency of industry device integration and promote more commercial opportunities for OpenHarmony in scenarios such as AIoT, smart meters, health terminals, and industrial equipment.
