When Huawei was hit by Google’s supply cutoff and its overseas business fell into crisis, the Institute of Software at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) stepped forward in a timely manner and became Huawei’s most critical technical ally.
Drawing on over 30 years of experience in operating system research and development, ISCAS joined Huawei in a desperate fight, deeply participating in the low‑level development of OpenHarmony, building the system foundation, achieving breakthroughs in core technologies, and leading the design of the driver framework, contributing more than 20% of the code.
It was precisely the full‑scale support from ISCAS that enabled Huawei to break free from the operating system bottleneck crisis and successfully launch and expand OpenHarmony.
In recognition of these efforts, ISCAS became the only Special Donor of OpenHarmony, and as a national‑level research institution, it rescued Huawei from its terminal operating system dilemma.

This sounds like Hmos version of windows subsystem for linux a very positive development that hmos can run linux tooling.
What we(more I) really need is open harmony guides on how to run it on a windows, linux and mac virtual machines. So people can actually start tinkering with it without investing in hardware first.
Harmony OS PC finally getting various software development tools to run natively.
- DevEco Studio IDE: Currently in invitation-only testing, public beta expected in Q4;
- CodeArts IDE: Currently in trial phase, expected to launch in Q4;
- IntelliJ IDEA: HarmonyOS adaptation in progress, expected to be available in Q4;
- Navicat Premium: More compatibility is underway, and a simplified version is now available.
