Download SDK

To get started with developing on the Aos platform, the first step is to download the correct version of the AosCore SDK toolchain that matches your target environment.

The SDK provides everything you need to build, test, and deploy applications within the Aos ecosystem — including compilers, environment settings, and platform-specific utilities.

Whether you're running your project on a virtual machine or a physical Raspberry Pi device, choosing the proper toolchain ensures compatibility and a smooth development experience.

Follow the steps below to get the SDK up and running on your chosen platform.
