Introduction
The Network Developer’s Kit (NDK) is a platform for development and demonstration of network enabled applications on TI embedded processors.
Depending on your platform and distribution, you may need to separately obtain an appropriate NDK Support Package (NSP).

Upgrade and Compatibility Information
The NDK has undergone significant changes, and as such, upgrading from a previous release will require user changes. A brief summary of these changes include:
- Moving content from a packages/ directory to a source/ directory (to align with the SimpleLink SDK ecosystem).
- Restructuring of the OSAL to use POSIX (which several RTOS’s are providing support for, including TI-RTOS). A notable side effect of this is that all threads that use the NDK must be POSIX threads! We intend to lift this restriction in the near future. See the examples for usage.
- Alignment on common C99 data types
Host Support
- Windows
- Linux
- Mac

Versioning
All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases. Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 3.00.00.00_eng).
This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and bb is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
