HarmonyOS 1 and HarmonyOS 2 are not the same thing. You're talking about no.1. It was quite interesting and ambitious, but it never really worked out, but this version is actually based on Android. We don't really know to what extent though.

To be fair the HMS ecosystem is actually no small feat.

I believe they are still trying to what is being described here:

https://developer.harmonyos.com/en/docs/documentation/doc-gu...

And I can see that there are actually multiple supported kernels and a kernel abstraction layer.

Nonetheless it will be interesting how far this will be taken. I do believe they are serious about updating existing phones.

And that there are iot devices coming out with hardware similar to the development board I linked to and are running some form of this os.
