When we see a duck swimming in the water, white hair floating in green water, and red palm plucking waves, we will feel that it is really careless, elegant and comfortable.
However, if you look underwater, you will see that the duck's legs are constantly pulling, and the duck is actually very hard.
Huawei is not a duck, but Huawei is very much like that diligent duck.
On March 21, Huawei announced that it had just held a product development tool stage summary and commendation meeting in Shenzhen.
What does this recognition meet?
Xu Zhijun, Vice Chairman and Rotating Chairman of Huawei, said in a word: Huawei is building leading product development tools from sand and ore to products, completely getting rid of dependence on Western product development tools, and achieving strategic breakthroughs!
In other words, the United States has to break through the technical tools that Huawei has stuck in its neck, and it is also achieving breakthroughs one by one.
At this meeting, the biggest highlight was the EDA tool for chip design, and Huawei also made significant progress, and the board-level EDA tool team was commended.
This news is too high and high, which can be called a major step in the field of chip research and development and manufacturing!
The shy rose opened quietly, and inadvertently, Huawei crossed this technological barrier that was like Wujiang's natural danger!
Use Chinese tools to develop Chinese products!
Punch with one punch, lest a hundred punches come!
Huawei has finally done it!

Seeing this, some people may ask: what exactly is EDA tool, worth such a big blow!
This guest officer, this is really not my hype, but because EDA tools are too important, and the development of our own EDA tools is too meaningful to break through the US blockade and achieve self-reliance in chip research and development.
Grass snake gray line, thousands of miles of veins!
Let's turn the clock back half a year.
On August 26, 2022, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce suddenly announced that it would cut off the supply of EDA involving advanced semiconductors to China!
When the news came, there was an uproar!
Because the lethality of cutting off EDA is too big!
How about a big law?
In this way, EDA tools are software tools for chip developers to complete chip design on the computer, just like CAD software for engineering drawing and mechanical drawing, which is known as the "mother of chips" in the industry.
In layman's terms, EDA is to chip developers like a warrior's sword, a literati's pen, a cook's stove, a tailor's scissors, a photographer's camera, a joker's keyboard, a troll's saliva, a dancer's steel pipe, and an old driver's steering wheel.
Take office software as an example, for example, now I write articles on the computer, using the word tool in the office tool, the word tool connects the words I want to write, word by word, and combines editing.
EDA is similar to the office tools of chip engineers, through EDA software, engineers can design and connect the components one by one according to a certain logic, and then tape out when the various indicators of the simulation meet the expectations.
Some people may say, no office tools can be replaced by pens, let's not use EDA, can we replace it with manual?
Not really!
Because EDA tools are the link between chip design solutions and the semiconductor physical world, it is the reproduction of the chip physical world in the virtual world.
Think about it, a chip moves hundreds of millions, billions of crystals, crystals must be connected to each other, if not with the help of tools, any two or three connections are wrong, there will be big problems.
Therefore, now the world's slightly more advanced chips basically need to be designed through EDA software! !
In layman's terms, you must have chickens to have eggs, and you must have EDA to design chips.
Without EDA tools, chip design simply cannot be done, and even the most powerful chip designers are useless.
Unfortunately, the current global EDA software is mainly monopolized by three American companies such as Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor, and in 2019, these three American giants dominated more than 85% of the global EDA market.
Then, the United States banned this time is the EDA of advanced semiconductors, that is, all your chip design companies in China can only do 5nm in the future, as for the more advanced 3nm integrated circuit design process, don't think about it!
I have to say that this move of the United States is to directly want to strangle Chinese chip design companies to catch up with the road of American design companies, which is stronger and stronger than what shit chip bill, and the impact is more direct.
The United States estimated that less than half a year later, Huawei made a huge breakthrough in EDA tools, planting China's flag in this battleground and successfully breaking their neck tricks!
In order to achieve breakthroughs in root technologies, including EDA tools, Huawei has worked hard and experienced a phoenix-like purgatory, because this is a highly relevant root technology, involving all aspects and affecting the whole body.
In terms of human resource allocation, Huawei will combine breaking the sky upwards with rooting downwards, and invite those scientists and technical know-how experts who originally studied basic theories to descend the mountain and start developing real technologies.
Ren Zhengfei said figuratively:
These scientists have been climbing the "Himalayas" of science. When we were suppressed, we invited these people to the "foot of the mountain" to "herd sheep", "farm"... and take a "scalpel" to participate in the battle of "killing pigs".
It is with such a force that in the past three years, Huawei has completed the replacement development of 13,000+ devices and the repeated replacement of 4,000+ circuit boards, gradually knocking out the containment of the United States.
Many of these design tools have been put on HUAWEI CLOUD, exposed to social applications, and shared free of charge with everyone.
It is precisely because of these solid efforts that today, Huawei finally put a cannon battle and came up with Huawei's independent and controllable EDA software!
How significant is such a breakthrough in root technology, you say?
Is it worth rejoicing about?

In history, there has never been a company that has allowed the United States to use all its national strength to suppress, except for Huawei! Huawei, it's really hard!
In the words of Meng Wanzhou's recent speech at Duyun Yi Middle School, Guizhou's alma mater, Huawei is facing unprecedented challenges. ”
Just a few days ago, on March 6, a number of German media reported that Germany plans to ban the use of Huawei's 5G equipment and components.
The ban also concerns equipment that has already been installed, and once it comes into effect, operators will be forced to replace parts from Chinese manufacturers.
It has to be said that the United States, Britain, Japan, Australia and other countries have blocked Huawei's 5G equipment, and now Germany also intends to follow suit, which is bound to have an impact on Huawei.
Huawei, the risks and challenges are greater and greater.
Seeing all this, some people may be very confused: why did the United States attack Huawei like this, is it really because Huawei offended the United States and did something that should not be done in violation of the law?
Don't be naïve, look at the evaluation of foreign media:
The United States coerced Huawei to "lock up China's industrial upgrading, so that China can only do low-end industries and work for them forever." ”
Alan Estevez, deputy secretary of industry and security at the U.S. Department of Commerce, put it bluntly enough: "Technological advances that allow technologies such as semiconductors and engines to operate faster, more efficiently, longer and in harsher conditions could be a game-changer in business and the military." ”
This is a high-sounding statement, in fact, to put it bluntly, does not mean that all international high-end technology fields, high-value, high-wage industries, including semiconductors, should be monopolized by the West represented by the United States.
This is the ultimate goal of the United States, that is, to block our scientific and technological catch-up, so that we can only do some low-end manufacturing forever, year after year to do low-end processing industry, handicraft industry, assembly industry, year after year cycle, for all European and American developed countries OEM, processing, for them ...
However, in the high-tech field with high added value and high wages, Chinese enterprises must not interfere, otherwise they will oppose the US imperialism, and they will be difficult, cut off and blocked.
However, if we do not engage in high technology and industrial upgrading, we can only keep taking a salary of 2,000 yuan a month, day after day, year after year, and our children and grandchildren will work for the West and be cheap laborers.
I believe the answer speaks for itself!
The world is so cruel, only if we continue to promote the pace of scientific and technological progress and continuously achieve industrial upgrading, can we break the situation of European and American countries monopolizing global high-end industries and independently obtain more profits!
The efforts of Huawei and other strivers are precisely to master high-end technology and realize the upgrading of the entire industry chain in China.
Let ordinary people like you and me borrow the general trend of the country, enter higher-paying industries, get higher salaries, and live better and better lives.

The bird that cannot be burned is the phoenix!
It's unbelievable! In the face of US suppression, Ren Zhengfei and Meng Wanzhou, they not only did not choose to bow their heads, but became more and more courageous! ! ! Huawei, although scarred, has been getting stronger!
At this moment, it is Huawei's most difficult moment, but it is also the moment when Huawei is reborn from the ashes and phoenix nirvana; At this moment, it is not only Huawei's arduous trek, but also the charge of our generation.
Yes, Huawei's new "Long March" has begun, this is a long march of scientific and technological self-improvement, the goal is to back the water, use research and development to break the high-tech blockade imposed by the United States, break the blocked barriers one by one, and move towards the Everest of scientific and technological progress!
"There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who stand up."
Again, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, the more difficult the test of the enterprise, the stronger the will and the ability to turn the tide!
For the sake of sacrificing a lot of ambition, dare to call the sun and the moon for a new day!
Huawei, come on!
China, come on!
