30 Describe what a standard SDK is as compared to the extensible SDK. 30 A standard SDK consists of a cross-development toolchain that contains
31 a compiler, debugger, and various miscellaneous tools; libraries,
32 headers, and symbols to match an image; and environment setup script.
33 You can use this SDK to independently develop and test code that is
34 destined to run on some target machine.
35 </para>
36
37 <para>
38 An extensible SDK consists of everything that the standard SDK has plus
39 tools that allow you to easily add new applications and libraries to
40 an image, modify the source of an existing component, test changes on
41 the target hardware, and easily integrate an application into the
42 the Yocto Project build system.

54 An SDK can even be used by a QA Engineer or Release Engineer.
55 The fundamental concept is that the machine that has the SDK installed
56 does not have to be associated with the machine that has the
57 Yocto Project installed.
58 A developer can independently compile and test an object on their
59 machine and then, when the object is ready for integration into an
60 image, they can simply make it available to the machine that has the
61 the Yocto Project.
62 Once the object is available, the image can be rebuilt using the
63 Yocto Project to produce the modified image.
