The Tactile Intelligence RK3506 Core Board/Star Flash Development Board has successfully adapted to the open-source Harmony OpenHarmony 5.1 L1 (small system), supporting Hisilicon Star Flash wireless communication (Star Flash + WiFi + Bluetooth).
Tactile Intelligence continues to share the Harmony + Star Flash application solutions. You can click the video below to learn about the RK3506 Star Flash Development Board’s Star Flash functionality test.
Star Flash Wireless Communication Technology
Historical Background: Six years ago, Huawei faced pressure from foreign “entity lists” and was excluded from the “Bluetooth” organization. However, this became a turning point for domestic short-range wireless communication technology. In the face of adversity, Huawei resolutely embarked on the path of independent research and development, determined to create a short-range wireless communication standard for China. In September 2020, Huawei took the lead in establishing the Star Flash Alliance, which serves as a “beacon” gathering forces from all directions, attracting over 1,200 domestic and foreign entities to join, covering a wide range of fields including mobile phones, wearables, home appliances, automobiles, chips, instruments, and more, forming a large open, collaborative, and win-win industrial ecosystem.
As a new generation of wireless short-range communication technology, Star Flash has been tasked with revolutionizing communication experiences since its inception. With deep technical accumulation and continuous R&D investment, Huawei has endowed Star Flash technology with numerous outstanding characteristics that surpass traditional wireless technologies. In terms of latency, the transmission delay of Star Flash technology is only 1/30 of that of traditional wireless technologies, which means that the response speed of commands is significantly improved during interactions between smart devices.
Harmony + Star Flash Case Studies
- IoT Home Appliances
The Global Smart IoT Alliance (GIIC) collaborates with Shanghai Hisilicon, operators, and home appliance manufacturers to jointly define the open-source Harmony appliance object model from chips, connections, and complete machines, creating a unified interconnected ecosystem. The object model serves as a “category descriptor” for home appliance devices, defining the functional characteristics of each type of device, ensuring that devices communicate using a “unified language” externally, allowing cross-manufacturer devices to be controlled on Harmony-based phones or terminals.
- Lightweight Smart Terminals
Lightweight electronic terminals are rapidly penetrating consumer scenarios with a “small yet smart” differentiated positioning. For example: wearable watches, headphones, live streaming devices, microphones, cameras, drones, etc. Unlike traditional smartphones, lightweight smart terminals feature a lightweight architecture, small scene intelligence, interconnected ecosystems, and convenient connectivity.Product Examples: Smart Watches, Portable Live Streaming Devices
- Innovative Scenarios
Open-source Harmony Star Flash innovative robots/dogs/drones provide science and technology education teaching scenarios based on open-source Harmony + Star Flash for public education. By using open-source Harmony to interact between robotic dogs and computers, the connection scheme applies Star Flash technology, enabling real-time high-speed collaboration and communication between robotic dogs with low-latency synchronization.
