The SSDK is installed as a container. It is delivered in three separate software packages:

  • A container image that constitutes the build environment and includes generic tools, such as the Linaro ArmĀ® cross-compile toolchain.
  • A tarball with the source code of the reference pipelines and AMD-specific tools, such as the P4 compiler and the Distributed Services Card (DSC) simulator.
  • A tarball with documentation.

The following table lists installed directories and their contents.
