Huawei launched a new project entitled ‘Digital Bus’ to turn the education sector towards technology in Thailand. The company took this step to enhance the knowledge of digitalization and new techs among the Thailand citizens.
Purposely, the Chinese manufacturer aims to spread the digital as well as technical skills equally around the education centers. Consequently, this step will also add growth to the digital providence of the region. Huawei has launched the ‘Digital Bus’ Project at Singhapahu Prasanmit Aupatham education center in Thailand.
Huawei’s Contribution to Thailand
Huawei acknowledged the hard work and efforts of the Thailand authorities to elevate the technology development as well as a digital fund in the country. To help out, the company associated with its companion in the region to locate 20,000 5G stations.
As a result, in a short time, the 5G users crossed 4.2 million which is 2.6 times bigger in comparison to other ASEAN nations. However, challenges are part of a journey and so happened with Thailand. Lack of digital skills and talent lapse the country’s growth.
Hence, Huawei Technologies in Thailand decided to become an aid for the region to build their talent pool. Apart from the knowledge, the company provides excellent career opportunities to the Thai citizens and the learning generation as well.
Words of Huawei on the Project
The Board Director of Huawei Technologies in Thailand, Mr. Edison Xu, expressed his thoughts on the project:
“Huawei plans to deploy the ‘Digital Bus’ to provide digital training, free of charge, in 10 provinces, covering more than 40 remote communities and 1,500 students in Thailand. And we will continuously work with the government and schools to enrich people’s lives with digital and open a new window of opportunities for Thai people and bridge the digital divide gap”
Thailand is putting efforts into developing itself as a sustainable ASEAN digital hub. Thus this project could prove to be a benefit for the region.

Linux Kernel is the main component of the Linux operating system as well as the core interface between a system’s hardware and its processes. Since 2015, the Linux kernel has supported UEFI mirrored memory functionality of x86/x86-64.
In the latest edition, Huawei engineers developed and added the UEFI mirror memory function Linux AArch 64. Recently, Huawei engineer Wupeng Ma released the latest patches working on this UEFI mirror memory support for Linux AArch64 hardware.
UEFI:
The UEFI allows setting up address range-based partial memory mirroring that has been going around all the way back to the UEFI 2.5 spec. This UEFI memory mirroring can be used for redundancy and reliability purposes on the servers.
More information:
Following the platform settings, the servers can normally provide a full mirror up to 50% (reserved for mirroring) or partial mirroring usually 10~20%, if it is below or above 4GB or even be left up to the OS for determining the memory address ranges for mirroring.
However, AArch64 hardware meeting the UEFI spec can support it too, but the Linux kernel support on AArch64/ARM64 hadn’t been set up until now.
Linux Kernel:
Linux kernel is a free, open-source, monolithic, modular, and Unix-like operating system kernel. The main component of the Linux operating system (OS) is Kernel and is the core interface between the computer’s hardware and its processes.
The Linux kernel is used by Linux distributions alongside GNU tools and libraries. This combination is sometimes referred to as GNU/Linux. For your information, the Popular Linux distributions platform are Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux.
