A Software Development Kit (short SDK) is a set of tools and software redistributed by vendor to be used by developers to access the hardware. This is usually in the form of a precompiled library and header files (for MSVC).

SDKs are often distributed by chipset vendors who are not willing to disclose their documentation about the actual hardware (and required firmware) - Another word for trouble.
