Xiaomi HyperOS architecture exposed in official announcement
In a recent announcement, Xiaomi shared its latest achievements in system software and unveiled the architectural framework of HyperOS.
HyperOS appears to be Xiaomi's response to Huawei's HarmonyOS, as indicated by the software's architecture, which consists of five layers.
At its foundation lies the hardware layer, followed by the kernel layer. HyperOS leverages both Linux and Vela kernels, with Vela being Xiaomi's IoT platform based on NuttX RTOS.
The third layer combines services and frameworks from Android and Vela. The composition of the second and third layers may vary depending on the device type. For instance, smartphones and tablets may utilize Linux and Android, while IoT devices may employ Vela. Regardless, both systems will bear the 'HyperOS' name, similar to Huawei's promotion of HarmonyOS.
The fourth layer, known as HyperConnect, facilitates seamless communication between all devices, even when the second and third layers differ. Finally, the fifth layer encompasses the applications.
Although not explicitly mentioned by Xiaomi, it is presumed that the third layer will include GMS (Google Mobile Services) for smartphones and tablets marketed outside of China.
Xiaomi reveals that the development of HyperOS has been a 13-year journey, commencing with the launch of MIUI in 2010. The actual research and development for HyperOS began seven years ago with the introduction of Xiaomi Vela in 2017.
