The SDK single-board computers allowed the user to enter object code from a keyboard or upload it through a communication port, and then test run the code. The SDK boards provided a system monitor ROM to operate the keyboard and other interfaces.

In addition, Intel sold a range of larger-scale development systems which ran their [[ISIS (operating system)|proprietary operating systems]] and hosted development tools{{snd}} [[assembler (computing)|assembler]]s and later [[compiler]]s{{snd}} targeting their processors. These included the [[Intellec Microcomputer Development System|Microcomputer Development System]] (MDS), Personal Development System (PDS), [[In-circuit emulator|In-Circuit Emulator]]s (ICE), [[device programmer]]s and so on. Most of these were rendered obsolete when the [[IBM PC]] became a de facto standard, and by other standardised technologies such as [[JTAG]].

Line 13 ⟶ 16:

A PROM programmer board was available (the MP7-0x) and connected via a Micro Computer Connector Board (the MCB-810).

Although not marketed as such, the SIM8-01 represents the first 8-bit Microprocessor based Single Board Computer (SBC) available as early as April 1972, priced at $900 ($52,699850 in 2022).

The SDK-85 MCS-85 System Design Kit was a single board microcomputer system kit using the [[Intel 8085]] processor, clocked at 3 MHz with a 1.3 μs instruction cycle time. It contained all components required to complete construction of the kit, including LED display, keyboard, resistors, caps, crystal, and miscellaneous hardware. A preprogrammed ROM was supplied with a system monitor. The kit included a 6-digit LED display and a 24-key keyboard for direct insertion, examination, and execution of a user's program. It also had a serial transistor interface for a 20 mA current loop Teletypeteletype using the bit-serial SID and SOD pins on the CPU. The maximum user RAM for programs and data, on the factory standard kit, was limited to 0xC2 or 194 decimal bytes. The full 256 bytes was available on the expansion RAM. User programs could call subroutines in the monitor ROM for functions such as: Serialserial Inin/Outout, CRLF, Readread Keyboardkeyboard, Writewrite Displaydisplay, time delay, convert binary to two -character hexadecimal etc.

**RAM 256 bytes expandable to 512 bytes with another 8155 RAM / 22 programmable IO lines. The 14-bit programmable Timer/Counter was used for system single-step control. The expansion Timer/Counter was available.

**ROM 2 KB expandable to 4 KB with another 8755 EPROM / 16 programmable IO lines in the expansion socket.

**SIZE Size/ WEIGHTweight 30.5 (W) × 25.7 (D) × 1.3 (H) cm.

The SDK-86 MCS-86 System Design Kit is a complete single board 8086 microcomputer system in kit form. It contains all necessary components to complete construction of the kit, including LED display, keyboard, resistors, caps, crystal, and miscellaneous hardware. Included are preprogrammed ROMs containing a system monitor for general software utilities and system diagnostics. The complete kit includes an 8-digit LED display and a mnemonic 24-key keyboard for direct insertion, examination, and execution of a user's program. In addition, it can be directly interfaced with a teletype terminal, CRT terminal, or the serial port of an Intellec system. The SDK-86 is a high performance prototype system with designed·in flexibility for simple interface to the user's application.

The SDK-86 (System Design Kit) was the first available computer using the Intel 8086 microprocessor. It was sold as a single board kit at a cheaper price than a single 8086 chip because Intel thought that the success of a microprocessor depends on its evaluation by as many users as possible. All major components were socketed and the kit could be assembled by anyone having a limited technical knowledge thanks to a clear and complete assembly manual. The system could be used with the on-board keyboard and display or connected to a serial video terminal.
