Chapter 208 Research and Development Progress

Qiao Ruida pressed her hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Okay, there are only a dozen or so problems. When you go back, modify all these places, and then conduct simulation tests. After passing the test, they will be taken for secondary tape-out. I believe that the next chip will make greater progress."

After everyone dispersed, Qiao Ruida came to the office area of ​​the software research and development team and asked about their research and development progress.

Wang Guanyuhui, leader of the software team, reported: "Boss, our Kaitian mobile operating system is about 90% complete. The main body of the system has been completely compiled, and only some peripheral modules and system software are still in the process of being compiled. We The running test has been carried out on the virtual machine. The system as a whole is quite smooth, and basic functions such as calling, sending text messages, settings, and Internet access can also be realized. Next, we plan to install this initial version of the Kaitian system into Ruijie. It will be used in first-generation mobile phones for actual testing.”

"Oh, this progress is pretty good. Where is the virtual machine with the Kaitian system installed? I will try it myself." Qiao Ruida also became interested and planned to see with her own eyes what the original version of the Kaitian system looked like.

Wang Guanyu brought Qiao Ruida to a computer, pointed to a simulator on the desktop and said: "This is a mobile phone simulation software developed by our team based on the hardware configuration of Ruida's first generation mobile phone. It can install the system and simulate Communication, wireless networking, phone calls, photography and other functions. Currently, our first-generation Kaitian mobile operating system has been installed in this simulator, which can be opened directly to conduct some basic tests."

As he spoke, Wang Guanyu directly pointed his finger on the icon of the mobile phone simulator and double-clicked it to run it. Judging from the way he operates it, the monitor of this computer obviously has a touch function. After the simulator is opened, a vertical rectangular interface appears on the screen. The box is completely black. There are three function buttons for return, home page, and multitasking under the box. On the right side, there are volume +, volume -, and start three function buttons. button. Wang Guanyu pressed his finger on the startup button and waited for a few seconds. A startup animation of a Reda mobile phone appeared in the black rectangular interface, and then entered a very simple operating system.

The middle of the interface of this operating system is empty, except for a settings icon and nothing else. On the status bar at the top of the interface, there is only a WIFI networking icon and a 3G signal icon. There are only four quick startup items at the bottom of the interface, namely making calls, text messages, browsers and taking photos.

Qiao Ruida got started personally, sliding the interface back and forth to test the smoothness of the system. As Wang Guanyu said, the system was quite smooth, at least not worse than the original Android system. He opened the settings icon on the desktop again and checked the software and hardware of the simulator. The hardware configuration was exactly the same as the high-end Ruida mobile phone, with Qualcomm processor, 2G running memory, 32G body storage, and the system column was clear. Marked with Kaitian version 0.4 test system.

Qiao Ruida also tested the functions of making phone calls, sending text messages, and taking photos, and all of them are possible. Browsing the Internet and watching videos are also very smooth. However, due to insufficient hardware performance, there will be lags when playing videos with a higher bit rate. Condition. I believe that once the Jiuzhou No. 1 mobile phone processor completes the tape-out test and is used on its own mobile phones, there will be no more lags.

"Can I install software APP on this mobile phone operating system now?" Qiao Ruida asked.

Wang Guanyu shook his head and said: "The software framework compatible with Android apps is still under testing and has not been implemented, so the current system does not support software installation. Wait until the next version, and you should be able to install Android software at will. .”

Qiao Ruida nodded and praised: "It's not bad, the progress is very good. Thank you for your hard work in the recent period. I have seen the company's recent attendance sheet, and the people in your software development team have worked the most overtime. In the past two months, You guys are working overtime on almost all weekends and holidays." Wang Guanyu raised his arm, scratched the oily chicken head, and said rather embarrassedly: "It's nothing, this is what we should do. I used to work in When I was working in the institute, I worked day and night whenever there was a project. At that time, there was no overtime pay for overtime work, and there were no late night snacks, coffee, or snacks. It was much harder than it is now."

Qiao Ruida patted Wang Guanyu on the shoulder and said: "Our company is a conscientious enterprise, and I am not Zhou Papi. I can't do 996, free overtime, and squeeze employees. If you work hard for a while longer, wait for the Kaitian mobile phone system After the research and development is completed, I will give you a month's paid vacation. At that time, you can form a group to travel to the south or abroad, wander around and broaden your horizons."

"Uh, boss, what is this 996?" Wang Guanyu could understand what Qiao Ruida said about paid vacations, travel, etc., but he had never heard of this 996.

Hearing Wang Guanyu's question, Qiao Ruida remembered that at the end of 11, Alibaba's boss Ma had not yet proposed the outrageous "996 work system". As for terms such as "996 blessings" and "overtime culture", Not yet born.

"996 refers to a work system that starts at 9 a.m. and leaves work at 9 p.m., with a one-hour break at noon and evening, a total of more than 1 hours of work, and a six-day work week. This is scary, isn't it?"

"Is this 996? Boss, you have really summarized it well. Nowadays, the working hours of domestic Internet companies, even if they do not reach 996, are almost the same. That is to say, our Reda Technology has a fixed working time of eight hours a day and does not encourage employees to work overtime."

Qiao Ruida and Wang Guanyu chatted some more about mobile phone system development. It was not until half an hour later that he left the R&D department and returned to his office on the 16th floor.

In recent times, the task assigned to Morris to invest in domestic mobile phone supply chain companies has also made some good progress. Shengshi Investment Company has reached shareholding agreements with five companies, including a screen manufacturer, a connector manufacturer, a special glass manufacturer, and a mobile phone camera manufacturer, on the basis of providing funds, advanced equipment, technical support and other conditions. . These are all high-quality companies with certain technical capabilities, and in Qiao Ruida’s memory, their subsequent development is also very good. Now with the financial and technical support of Reda Technology, I believe these companies can develop faster, thus providing strong support to Reda Technology's mobile phone production business.
