To see what this CPU was about, I first ran About Us through Google Translate. Output is below. They’re doing embedded chips with a wide range of applications (esp security), plenty of foundries, partnered with Alibaba, and developing cloud chips. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
“Hangzhou Zhongtian Microsystems Co., Ltd. (“Zhongtian Microsystems”) is an integrated circuit design company dedicated to 32-bit high-performance low-power embedded CPUs with chip architecture licensing as its core business. Founded in 2001, the company is headquartered in Hangzhou High-tech Zone, with branches in Shanghai Pudong New Area and Ningbo Haishu District. For more than ten years, Zhongtian Microsystem has always adhered to the concept of independent innovation, and developed an embedded CK-CPU with international advanced level. The 32-bit C-SKY series embedded CPU core with independent intellectual property rights developed has low power consumption. High performance, high code density, and ease of use.
Zhongtian Microsystem has a roadmap for CPU technology development for various embedded application scenarios. Currently, it has developed 7 embedded CPUs covering high, medium and low embedded applications, which are widely used in IoT intelligent hardware, digital audio and video, and information. Security, networking and communications, industrial control, and automotive electronics. It has become the only CPU supplier in China to develop embedded CPU based on autonomous instruction architecture and achieve mass production.
The company builds a chip software and hardware platform around its own embedded CK-CPU, providing customers with core competitiveness, cost-effective and customized CPU IP core and related SOC design and development platform, software tool chain and integration for customers in various industry segments. Development environment. Zhongtian CK-CPU supports international mainstream foundries such as SMIC, TSMC, Huahong, Huahong Hongli (HHGrace) and Hejian Technology (HJTC). Up to now, C-SKY series CPU cores have more than 60 authorized users, and are widely used in many embedded fields such as financial IC cards, digital audio and video, information security, industrial control, security monitoring and network wireless communication. As of now, the cumulative shipments of SoC chips based on C-SKY CPUs have exceeded 700 million.
Hangzhou Zhongtian Microsystems Co., Ltd. cooperates with Alibaba Group to develop Yun-on-Chip architecture for IoT/IoT segments, and develops a new generation CPU, SoC platform and software under the cloud-integrated framework. Supports the environment and operating system, supporting full-link security and low-cost access from chip to cloud. Zhongtian Microsystem will support the upstream and downstream partners of the industry chain, deeply integrate Internet technology with traditional technologies, develop cloud chip products for the whole industry, and construct an application ecosystem connected with objects.”
Very interesting. The “Yun-on-Chip” refers to YunOS, now AliOS, an incompatible Android fork on which Alibaba Cloud has spent considerable development effort.
