Overview

The NetBurner Network Development Kit includes all the software and documentation you need to develop an application for NetBurner hardware. To begin development, the first step is to install all software, drivers and documentation required to write an application and learn about the hardware.

Download the NNDK

All software used in this development kit must be downloaded from the NetBurner website. NNDK software download instructions are available at: http://www.netburner.com/support/get-tools

Note: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (32-bit) 1.6 or later is required to run the NetBurner NBEclipse IDE. This software is not included with our installation. Please ensure that your OS Java tools are up to date before running the NetBurner NBEclipse IDE. The JRE can be downloaded at http://java.com/en/download/

Installing the Tools

After downloading the NNDK Software, run the setup application and follow the on screen directions to install the NNDK. During the installation, you must provide a valid serial number for each NetBurner platform type you wish to install. For example, if you have a MOD5441X and a MOD5270, you should include both a valid MOD5441X and a valid MOD5270 serial number in the serial number validation page.

Note: The serial number for your installation can be found on the red card that is included with your NNDK kit.
