Goodix GR551x OpenHarmony

In January 2022, the Goodix GR551x series – Bluetooth low energy development chips have officially integrated into the OpenHarmony trunk branch. from now, the developer can freely get the source from Gitee.

Last November, the Goodix GR551x series Bluetooth low energy development chips successfully passed the OpenHarmony working’s group compatibility review test and were released in November 2021.

About Goodix GR551x series:

The GR551x series is a high-performance Bluetooth 5.1 System-on-Chip (SoC) that has been widely used in mobile devices, wearables, and Internet of Things (IoT) products. This SoC family is designed to help users develop low-power Bluetooth-based products with a central role and/or a peripheral role.

Moreover, this system-on-chip is well known by the major smart device brand and ODM manufacturers. However, it has exceeded 10 million pieces.

OpenHarmony:

OpenHarmony is the open-source code of the HarmonyOS operating system, which is managed by the OpenAtom foundation and built to help global developers. It has the characteristics of being oriented to all scenarios and distributed.
