REUTERS/Wolfgang Rattay/File PhotoSHENZHEN, China, March 24 - Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (HWT.UL) has made breakthroughs in electronic design automation (EDA) tools for chips produced at and above 14-nanometre technology, Caijing financial news magazine reported on Friday, citing a speech by a senior Huawei executive.
Huawei will complete testing on the tools this year, rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said in a speech on Feb 28., Caijing reported.
Huawei has developed 78 tools related to chip hardware and software, the report added.
Chip design companies use EDA software to produce the blueprints for chips before they are mass manufactured at fabs.
China is home to a handful of domestic EDA software makers, but experts do not consider them globally competitive.
