According to the new media of Caijing, Xu Zhijun said that Huawei has completed the localization of EDA tools above 14nm in the chip field and will complete comprehensive verification this year. Huawei hardware and software development (hardware development, software development and chip development) three R & D production lines have currently completed the replacement of 78 software tools for software / hardware development, which can basically ensure the continuity of R & D operations.

Xu Zhijun mentioned that the autonomy of the whole process of EDA design tools needed for the above 14nm process is of great significance.

The global EDA software is mainly monopolized by three American companies: Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA. They can provide complete EDA tools that cover the whole or most of the integrated circuit design and manufacturing processes. Chinese companies have been in the field of EDA for many years, but the domestic EDA is mainly point tools, the tool chain is incomplete, and mainly meet the requirements of middle and low-end processes.

On May 16, 2019, the United States put Huawei on the physical list, and all American products, chips and devices cannot be provided to Huawei or provide services to Huawei without permission.

On May 16, 2019, the United States put Huawei on the physical list, and all American products, chips and devices cannot be provided to Huawei or provide services to Huawei without permission.

For a time, all American companies that provided Huawei with product development tools software and other companies with American components in their products stopped upgrading and servicing. from chip design, veneer design, structural design and simulation verification, software development can only rely on tools that cannot be upgraded and have a limited license period, or quickly enter the situation where no product development tools are available. This is like Wujiang Natural Insurance on the way of the Red Army at that time. Only when we break through & ldquo; Wujiang Natural Insurance & rdquo;, to achieve a strategic breakthrough can we continue to develop products & mdash;— is to create leading product development tools and software from minerals and sand to products and completely get rid of the dependence on development tools and software.

The software development tool development team has been laying out since 2018, striving to build a full set of software tool chains from coding, compilation, testing, security, build, release to deployment, and adopting the strategy of self-research and joint partner development. solve the problem of tool continuity. This not only strongly supports the software development of the company's more than 100,000 software engineers, but also provides services based on Huawei Cloud to achieve internal and external consistency.

The hardware development tools development team, with the support and help of partners, broke through the root technology, introduced a new architecture, released cloud native schematic tools, created high-speed and high-density PCB layout tools, polished structural design 2D / 3D CAD tools, and laid out hardware multidisciplinary simulation tools.

The chip design EDA tool team, together with domestic EDA enterprises, has created the EDA tools needed for the above 14nm process, basically realized the localization of the EDA tools above 14nm, and will complete its comprehensive verification in 2023.

As of today, our joint partners have released 11 product development tools, and all product lines have been switched to our own released tools, and partners and customers can also use them on Huawei Cloud. At present, every month, more than 200,000 software developers and 197000 hardware developers are using the tools we develop or we develop jointly with our partners, and there are 203 enterprises willing to pay to use our software tools. this is a recognition of the development tool team.

Second, although we have made many achievements in product development tools breakthroughs in recent years, we still face many challenges, and there are also many product development tools that have not made a complete breakthrough, which requires us to make non-stop efforts and redouble our efforts. we will continue to attract outstanding talents from all over the world and thoroughly achieve a strategic breakthrough.

1. The product development tools software that has been put into use and released to the outside world should be user-centered, strive to improve the user experience, and continuously optimize based on the needs of users and technological progress, and must ensure the continuous leadership of the tools. in order to effectively support the efficiency and high quality of product development engineers.

3、Huawei Cloud wants to develop some common and difficult technologies needed for tools and software, which can be invoked by tool developers in the form of services, so as to help tool developers launch products quickly and be competitive. It is necessary to establish the engineering data standard of the tool software and get through the data of the tool software. At the same time, we should support the cloud of the tools software, and work with partners to base the tools software on Huawei Cloud to serve all customers.

4. The tools developed by ourselves first serve Huawei internally, and then provide services externally based on Huawei Cloud, and are consistent internally and externally; for tools developed jointly with tool software vendors, Huawei Cloud cooperates with tool software developers to provide services with the brand of tool developers. In terms of benefit sharing, we should share less, and tool manufacturers should share more.

5. It is necessary to promote colleges and universities to accelerate the construction of tool software courses and personnel training system, and train tool software talents. At the same time, it is necessary to take the lead in using all the released tools and software in colleges and universities, so that students can use these tools and software from the beginning of contact with tools to form a spark.

& ldquo; is as true as iron, and now we are moving forward & rdquo;, Breakthrough & ldquo; Wujiang Heavenly Insurance & rdquo;, to achieve a strategic breakthrough has been sounded, the battle flag has been awarded, looking forward to the development of product development tools software victorious meeting on December 31, 2024, all the software, hardware, chip & hellip;… development tools to the community. Let us live up to our mission, live up to our time and forge ahead courageously! Thank you!
