HDK

Complete hardware design resources for the full series of Ameba modules and development boards, available in Ameba Download Center.

Development Tools

A suite of tools including VS Code extensions, desktop applications, and online utilities.

Online Documentation

Accessible SDK programming guides and user manuals for development tools.

Download Center

A central hub for HDK, technical documents such as datasheets and hardware design guides for the full Ameba series, along with RF and environmental compliance certificates.

Technical Forum

A global community for technical exchange and discussion.

Customer Support

Dedicated channels for technical support, business inquiries, and feedback.


We look forward to providing you with even richer resources and more convenient services. Stay tuned!

SDK and Resources

The Ameba IoT SoC series offers comprehensive SDK and online documentation support, covering FreeRTOS, Linux, HiFi DSP, Zephyr, Arduino, and other platforms.

FreeRTOS SDK

Supporting the full range of Ameba SoCs, the Ameba FreeRTOS SDK features fully featured stacks for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Audio, AI, and USB. Powered by the efficient CMake/Ninja build system, it delivers a complete, one-stop IoT solution for developers.

Linux SDK

Targeting high-performance Ameba SoCs, the Ameba Linux SDK is based on Linux kernel 5.x/6.x. It features comprehensive drivers and application frameworks for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Audio, AI, USB, and etc. Powered by efficient Yocto/Buildroot compilation systems, it delivers a high-performance IoT solution for developers.

Zephyr SDK

Leveraging the extensive stacks and middleware of the Zephyr ecosystem, the Zephyr SDK now supports Ameba mainline chips like the RTL8721F and RTL8721Dx. We plan to steadily expand this support, aiming for full Zephyr ecosystem coverage across the entire Ameba portfolio.

HiFi DSP SDK

Tailored for the Cadence HiFi5 audio/voice DSP in the Ameba SoC DSP series, the Ameba DSP SDK specializes in algorithmic computation. It manages compute-intensive workloads—including AI, audio processing, and sensor fusion—to maximize the capabilities of hardware acceleration.

Arduino SDK

Arduino® is an open-source hardware and software platform designed to simplify interactive electronics development. Leveraging the Ameba Arduino SDK, users can effortlessly create IoT applications for diverse use cases.

Hardware Design

One-stop hardware design resource center, covering every critical stage in the hardware development process — from hardware circuit design to user guides.
