Rebirth of Northern Technology

The time for an attack on the Unix market is not ripe at this time.

Users of Unix software are large companies and are not price sensitive. Unless there are special circumstances, it is difficult to persuade them to change the court. Platform migration, personnel training costs, and file compatibility are enough for them to drink.

In addition, the devil is in the details.

Unlike file compression, video player and other tool software, one or two functions can hit the world.

Anyone who has experience in software product development will know that large-scale software in this industry cannot be truly mature without three to five years or even longer iterations and accumulated experience.

Software developers, understand development, but do not understand industry needs. Programming skills can only guarantee the coding quality of the program, but cannot solve the functional integrity of the product and the applicability of the industry.

How about using professionals to guide development?

This is even more impossible.

Electronics experts and semiconductor experts, although they understand the needs of the industry, they don't understand program development, or even what can be done or what can't be done.

In terms of inability, for example, in 16M memory, how many transistors can be calculated in real time at a time? If there is not enough memory, what method can be used to process hundreds of millions of transistor data?

In terms of what can be done, if the chief designer of the project does not know about multi-core parallel computing or GPU acceleration, then the software will definitely not have similar functions.

Software requirements are not created in a vacuum. Only when the user sees the real object, will new demand arise. It turns out you can do this. But since it can be done, can it go further?

Only through iterations can the software advance with the requirements.

More importantly, in PCBA and IC software, the value of the database is even greater than the software itself.

Some simple circuit automatic generation functions are highly dependent on the understanding of components. For example, many chips have a reference circuit provided by the manufacturer, and the user can call it up and use it only by clicking.

These data, one relies on the accumulation of time and slowly collects, the other relies on the manufacturer to provide.

In this era, many reference solutions for chips are bought with money.

Take an extreme example, the reference scheme of GSM baseband chip, the authorization fee is as high as millions of dollars.

More often, you can't buy it even with money, because manufacturers have exclusive licenses with other software platforms. Faced with this situation, does Baitu want to develop reference solutions for these chips?

The IP library of IC software is similar.

The first full-color TFT driver chip was developed based on the DSPIP library.

Without a basic IP library, IC software is just a display. Who can start from scratch?

Most of the chip suppliers are European, American and Japanese manufacturers, not to talk about discrimination, not to talk about licensing costs, or travel costs, which are enough to drink a pot.

There are many other data. For example, it can be optimized and matched with the parameters of subsequent process production equipment. The mainstream semiconductor equipment comes from European, American and Japanese manufacturers, and it goes without saying that whoever has the better advantage.

These veteran manufacturers have accumulated more than ten years or even decades of industry experience, which Baitu lacks, and even all domestic industrial software manufacturers lack.

China's EDA software has never been developed, not in software development, but in data accumulation.

In a sense, Baitu has jumped into a killing battlefield.

The competition in the EDA industry is already very sufficient. There are dinosaur-level Unix players, among them are new players such as Protel, and there are free fly-level players on the market.

These free softwares are really free. They are all developed by enthusiasts, or companies that have failed in competition, open their products or provide them for free.

As a new player, Baitu can only pay more effort and time to win the status of the arena.

But don’t worry, time will change everything.

The performance gap between PCs and workstations will become smaller and smaller, and a crossover point will be ushered in around 1998.

As long as Baitu and other companies can find the market positioning and gradually swallow the PC market share, with the great development of PCs, the tide will rise, and it will be enough to go to sea by boat.

Free products are basically not a threat to Baitu. These products are lack of maintenance, and business users will certainly not be interested in them. Individual users are attracted by Lina's free policy.

In addition, with continuous feedback from customers, Baitu will have more and more experience in the industry.

Local Chinese IC manufacturers are growing, and the Chinese market cannot be ignored. With the increase in software market share, there will be more and more bargaining chips.

Of course, this business model also has the problem of difficulty in collecting money and unable to supervise it.

For example, if the company uses it and does not buy commercial copyrights, or buys the basic version, but opens the advanced features, who can know?

The focus of Baitu Software is mainly in the future, and the current income is not important.

Moreover, with the advancement of technology and the popularization of the Internet, it is possible to change the method of authorization verification.

The department in charge of Li Lina, with the gradual opening of the product market, it stands to reason that the more than 30 people provided by the Business School are far from meeting actual needs, but now it can only do so.

After the financing conference, Bingcheng's computer-related professional student resources were all in a hurry. The stock resources of several colleges and universities in Bingcheng were basically exhausted.

Many project teams are already using social personnel. Although the level of social workers is limited, it is still possible to do some auxiliary work such as tests. In addition, they can work full-time, which is more efficient.

Baitu also has this consideration, but the computer is too expensive. Expanding again can only wait for the next round of financing.

Li Lina's workload is still heavy.

She not only completes the development of her own tool editor, but also directs and coordinates the schedule of dozens of people.

As long as the get out of class is over every day, she will come over, and she is even thinking about whether to live here at night.

The security situation in Bingcheng is still worrying as always.

Recently, I have heard of several cases of murder and looting.

She was also a little guilty in going back and forth between the two schools at night.

This matter, I have to go back and ask Teacher Wang to coordinate.
