devkit
Programmer's starter bundle
A devkit is a development kit—hardware or software provided to programmers for building applications on a particular platform.
Game console manufacturers send devkits to studios before a system launches so developers can create titles: We got our hands on an early PS5 devkit.
Software devkits include tools, documentation, and sample code.
