What is Intel® INDE?
beta cross-platform productivity suite built with today's developer in mind that provides developers with tools, support, integration and updates to create high-performance C++/Java* applications for Android* that run on ARM* and run best on Intel® architecture-based devices. The first release of Intel® INDE focuses on delivering tools to support each step of the development chain for Android* targets, with some support for Microsoft Windows* targets. Additional support will be added throughout the year.

What are the key features of Intel® INDE?
Intel® INDE enables faster development by providing tools, samples & libraries for environment setup, code creation, compilation, debugging and analysis. Developers can code quickly with integration of tools into popular IDEs, while being future proof with automatic updates to the latest tools and technology. Intel® INDE supports 64-bit host systems running Microsoft Windows* 7-8.1 and ARM* and Intel® architecture-based target devices running Android 4.3 & up.= and Microsoft Windows* 7-8.1 devices based on Intel® architecture. Intel® INDE is an early access beta available for free at intel.com/software/INDE.

The key features supported in this release are:

• Develop Quickly: IDE integration of tools into popular IDEs including Eclipse* & vs-android*
• Easy-to-Use: C++/Java tools & samples for building, compiling, analyzing & debugging Android* applications.
