Intro to Hardware Development Kits and Evaluation Boards

Computing professionals are familiar with the software development kit (SDK or devkit) to support the creation of applications. When it comes to physical computing, we can use a hardware development kit or HDK. In this video, we present a brief history of HDKs along with some of their common features.
