Tizen SDK for Wearable released

Hi, Habr!

We have already managed to talk about the new Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo wearable devices and their functions . But today we are pleased to announce the release of the tool for developing applications for smart watches! Introducing the Tizen SDK for Wearable, already available for download . This is only the first beta, but it has all the most necessary things: the Eclipse IDE and the QEMU emulator, familiar to many people.



The SDK is very similar to the Tizen SDK with all functions, and the interaction is carried out through the Samsung Accessory Protocol . Through SAP, you can manage music, send notifications and files, search for your phone and much more.
