This section is for developing Fuchsia software using the Fuchsia SDK.
Important: The Fuchsia SDK is in active development. At the moment, Fuchsia does not support general public usage of the Fuchsia SDK. The APIs in the SDK are subject to change without notice.
The Fuchsia SDK is a set of build rules, API headers, prebuilt and source code libraries, and host tools put together to enable a Fuchsia software development environment. With the Fuchsia SDK, developers can create, build, run, test, and debug Fuchsia components and drivers (that is, Fuchsia software) without needing to set up a Fuchsia source checkout (fuchsia.git) on the host machine.
Note: If you only need the latest copies of Fuchsia‘s host tools (for instance, ffx), you can download the Fuchsia IDK from the Download the Fuchsia IDK page to get the up-to-date builds of Fuchsia’s host tools.
The Fuchsia SDK supports Bazel{:.external} as an out-of-the-box solution for building and testing software. However, Bazel is not a strict requirement. The Fuchsia SDK is designed to be integrated with most build systems to meet the needs of a diverse development ecosystem.
