The China Science and Technology Department (MOS) and the French Energy Commission (CEA), and Boolean, and the Semiconductor (ST) signed a cooperative development agreement on October 9, so that ST has become China's open platform launch plan partner. The first international semiconductor manufacturer. China Open Platform is developing a new open source-based computing platform, and ST will work closely with China, French and other partners to develop cost-effective high-performance hardware and software platforms, to form a slave server to mobile terminal to consumption The electronic open source system is compatible with each other.
Open source system is a system for disclosing software source code to the public and provides a detailed technical description of software and hardware interfaces, and can also modify and repeat software. Open source systems are low-cost, reliable performance, and more suitable for maintenance and improvement of multi-cooperative alliances. China has been actively advocating open source platform for many years and specifies Linux as a standard operating system. ST has been continuously developed a consumer electronic platform and mobile platform, such as the Nomadik mobile platform that won the award (1), and it is fully able to play an important role in the development of the new open source platform to promote new mobile applications and distributed applications. Development.
The Agreement between the China Science and Technology Department and the French Energy Commission, the agreement between Semiconductors and Boolean is reached after the Memorandum of understanding of the understanding of the establishment of a broad technical cooperation, and the memorandum of understanding is designed to meet the domestic market. Direct demand while expanding the development of the global development of low-cost high-performance open source platforms. According to this framework agreement, ST will work closely with the French Energy Commission and Bull and existing and future Chinese partners.
Mr. Philippegeyres, vice president of consumer electronics and microcontroller, etc., said that we brought this project a complete combination of technology and applications, ST has all designed manufacturing resources required to meet direct needs of the Chinese market, This important project will help to eliminate digital gaps, allowing global consumers to purchase PCs, while ST distributions can provide support for this project.
Li Wuqiang, deputy director of the High-tech Development and Industrialization Department of China, said: The China Science and Technology Department welcomes ST to join this international project, because this project not only helps China's information technology, telecom, and consumer industries. And also helps the global open source platform prosperity.
According to the latest data from GartnerDataquest, the market research institution, ST is the second largest chip supplier in the Chinese market. Its Shenzhen Manufacturing Plant is currently China's most advanced semiconductor assembly and testing factory. The company currently has more than 2,500 employees in China. In addition, ST has established cooperative projects such as technology research and development and product development with Chinese colleges, scientific research units and manufacturing enterprises. By extensive cooperation, the company is in China's electronic market, especially the next generation of communications and electrons. Special expertise is provided for consumer product development customization solutions.
Philippegeyres said: St can be invited to participate in the world's most exciting IT strategic plan, and play an important role in it, which makes us very proud, this agreement will help to strengthen our influence in China's market.
