At the 2023 IoT Ecosystem Partner Conference, Xiaomi unveiled its open-source system Vela, which adheres to the Apache 2.0 open-source protocol. Vela serves as a cross-device fast application framework, enabling developers to perform one-time development and operation across multiple devices. To facilitate this, Xiaomi introduced Aiot-IDE, a rapid application development tool specifically designed for Vela. Interested parties can download Aiot-IDE and access detailed information about Vela on Xiaomi’s official website.
