  • Article

3/12/2014

A software development kit (SDK) is a set of libraries that an application developer can link to, even without access to the OS design. The SDK represents functionality of OS components, BSPs, and subprojects of the OS design.

The default build process does not build SDKs. However, you can create a new SDK for your OS design or add an existing one.

To create a new SDK

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the SDKs folder, and then click Add New SDK.

  2. In the Property Pages dialog box, set the required property values. You can also set optional properties such as the supported CPU Families and the License Terms, and then click OK.

To add an existing SDK

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the SDKs folder, and then click Add Existing SDK.

  2. Browse to the folder that contains the .sdkcfg file for the SDK that you want to add.

  3. Select the .sdkcfg file, and then click Open.
