OpenHarmony
Not to be confused with HarmonyOS 4.2 and earlier, which was based on AOSP standard system base of watered down variant OpenHarmony L3-L5 on top of it and LiteOS kernel for lightweight systems like wearables and routers; or HarmonyOS NEXT/HarmonyOS 5.x+, which is a unified close-sourced OS distro of OpenHarmony, and HarmonyOS NEXT doesn't use Linux kernel (use hmkernel according to
uname -a output). | |
