Several world firsts, that sounds incredibly impressive.
But who knows the difficulties behind it? It's precisely this state of being able to reach it yet not being able to that is what makes it so painful.
The project involved the collaboration of several teams, and Xing Baohua acted like a firefighter, finding solutions for each team when they encountered difficulties.
Once the hardware is resolved, then you can work on the system and software, or work on the decoding chip.
He used 16k of domestically produced ARM memory, which he thought was sufficient for booting and running programs.
The idea is good, but using a CPU and RAM, there were no problems during power-on testing.
However, after installing the system, there are some minor issues when no programs are running; the computer may freeze after about ten minutes of booting up.
I searched for bugs for ages but still couldn't find the problem.
It took several days to find the bug, and it was related to RAM. It wasn't exactly a quality issue; the RAM was somewhat overstated.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
Assembling hardware is more troublesome than debugging a computer.
Ultimately, we chose NEC RAM; using domestic RAM would have required a larger capacity, increasing not only the cost but also taking up more space in the chassis.
It wasn't big to begin with, so there wasn't much room to add more space. I had no choice but to choose a better-performing imported product.
During the modeling process, there was also debate about the high cost of using an aluminum alloy shell, suggesting a combination with plastic would be preferable. The bottom layer is made of aluminum alloy, while the top flip cover is made of engineering plastic.
The plan was good, but after assembly, the CPU was installed in the bottom space and the aluminum alloy also served as a heat dissipation device.
The heat dissipation effect is excellent, and it conducts heat very well. It will be very useful in northern regions during winter, and you can feel the sincerity in its technological features.
It's quite useful as a hand warmer.
With the battery and CPU crammed into the bottom layer, and both being heat sources, how could it not get hot?
After extreme testing by engineers, the device was tested while charging and running high-powered programs. The temperature reached a maximum of 68°C in thermal tests.
Crack an egg, and it'll probably be cooked.
Some suggested adding a small fan! Others suggested moving the CPU under the screen.
Switch its position with the other parts.
Xing Baohua came over last and added ventilation holes to the bottom. He poked four or five small holes and attached a thin dustproof mesh to the openings.
The bottom is made of engineering plastic, and the back of the screen is made of aluminum alloy.
This flipping does alleviate the heat dissipation problem. Plastic doesn't conduct heat very quickly.
After I felt the temperature rise, I estimated that I went outside in about ten minutes, and the phone call was over.
As for whether the heat conduction speed will continue to increase if the software runs for a long time?
That depends on whether the battery can withstand the peak heat generation.
With a full charge, it can probably only run continuously for forty minutes before running out of power.
What if the customer continues to run the program using the charging cable?
Why not put a warning on the battery?
To protect battery health, please do not run programs while charging; allow only one emergency call at most.
Overcharging a battery can cause it to explode, which is considered human error and is not covered under warranty.
In an instant, the flaw was transformed into care.
I'll write a battery maintenance manual later.
Goodness, now that I think about it, the instruction manuals in the early mobile phone boxes were all thick volumes, and they all followed the same idea?
The instruction manual also needs to be translated into several versions.
This product can be sold for several years, but selling it only in Hong Kong is not feasible due to the small size of the city.
In addition, digital base stations have not yet been built in various countries around the world, so we need to wait.
Xing Baohua estimates that by the time other countries have established base stations, Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia will have launched their new products.
Therefore, continuous improvements will be needed on the S-1000 rice in the future.
Why is it called S-1000?
On a whim, I decided to just call it S1. Each generation upgrade can be represented by a number.
Their current target is to make money off the wealthy.
Let's have an elite version when we enter the 1990s.
Affordable! So that even those in sales can afford it.
Each model represents a price range.
Xing Baohua finally got rid of the digital mobile phone, and the entire software and hardware team was exhausted, with many applying for leave.
He agreed. They'd have three days off, but they'd have to take turns.
There are still many projects to tackle.
It doesn't matter, there's also the rice pad.
Earlier, Xing Baohua had instructed Changhong to prepare LCD screens and even purchase resistive touchscreens.
It's quite simple to do; the only troublesome part is the network cable adapter.
Just follow the S1 motherboard; there's no need to make any extra changes.
Of course, with more space, the battery capacity also needs to be increased.
According to Xing Baohua's idea, this thing should be made to be better than a useless piece of junk, just good enough to be used as a computer.
In terms of performance, it completely outclassed all computers of the 1970s, but it was still far behind mainstream computers.
It's only suitable for a small number of players; it's difficult to even play games with this. It's only good for simple office work or emergency programming.
It targets a small group of people, and its only advantage is its lightweight portability.
If it allows watching movies and supporting comics and images, Xing Baohua would definitely encourage mass production.
Entertainment is essential for stimulating consumption.
Let's produce tens of thousands of units first and see how it goes.
But tech products can't be without this thing; you can take it out to show off when necessary.
They have laptops now, but there aren't any products on the market that specifically target them. Right now, everyone is targeting their products.
But he knew that with a weak foundation, he wouldn't go far.
They could be squeezed out of the market by major manufacturers like HP, IBM, and Dell at any time.
