| # Fuchsia SDK |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| ## Developing software with the Fuchsia SDK |
| |
| The Fuchsia SDK is a set of build rules, API headers, code libraries, and |
| [host tools][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][fuchsia-components] and drivers (that is, Fuchsia software) |
| without needing to set up a [Fuchsia source checkout][fuchsia-platform] |
| (`fuchsia.git`) on the host machine. |
| |
| ## Build system support |
| |
| The Fuchsia SDK supports [Bazel][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. |
| |
| ## Get started with the Fuchsia SDK |
| |
| If you're new to the Fuchsia SDK, complete the |
| [Get started with the Fuchsia SDK][get-started-sdk] guide to set up the |
| Fuchsia SDK development environment on your host machine. |
| |
| ## Get started with driver development |
| |
| If you're interested in developing a new driver for Fuchsia, |
| complete the [Get started with driver development][get-started-drivers] guide |
| to learn about the basic workflows of driver development using the Fuchsia SDK. |
