Neat SDK v2.1.3.0 provides the supported development environment for Modalix DevKits running Platform 2.1.3. It updates the bundled Neat components and improves sysroot package management for more reliable cross-platform builds.
Use this release when moving your SDK and DevKit workflow to the Platform 2.1.3 release line.
What’s new
Platform 2.1.3 support
The SDK toolchain, sysroot, and runtime integration are updated for Modalix Platform 2.1.3. SDK v2.1.3.0 should be paired with a DevKit running Platform 2.1.3.
Updated Neat components
This release includes:
- Neat Core
v0.4.0 - Neat Insight
v0.0.7 sima-cliv2.1.16
Model Compiler v2.1.3 is compatible with this SDK and can be installed when model compilation or quantization is required. Neat example applications v0.5.0 are compatible with Neat Core v0.4.0.
More reliable sysroot management
Sysroot install and update behavior is safer and more predictable:
- Package operations remain scoped to the target ARM64 sysroot instead of installing host packages.
- Exact target package versions are preserved during updates, preventing unintended downgrades.
- Multi-architecture package validation provides clearer results.
- Sysroot permissions better support builds performed by the normal SDK user.
- Interrupted overlay updates no longer leave misleading completion state.
These changes reduce environment drift and avoid several package-resolution and permission failures during cross-compilation.
Installation
Install the released SDK with:
sima-cli neat install sdk@v2.1.3.0Offline packages are available for both supported host architectures:
# x86_64 / amd64 host
sima-cli neat install sdk@v2.1.3.0 -t offline-amd64
# ARM64 host, including Apple Silicon environments
sima-cli neat install sdk@v2.1.3.0 -t offline-arm64Copy the downloaded package directory to the offline host and run bash ./install_offline_sdk.sh from that directory.
Compatibility
| Component | Compatible version |
|---|---|
| Modalix Platform / DevKit software | 2.1.3 |
| Neat SDK | 2.1.3.0 |
| Neat Core | 0.4.0 |
| Model Compiler | 2.1.3 |
| Neat example applications | 0.5.0 with Neat Core 0.4.0 |
SDK 2.1.3.0 is not intended for DevKits that remain on Platform 2.1.2. Keep the SDK and DevKit platform release lines aligned.
Known issue
On hosts where port 10000 is unavailable, sima-cli maps SDK Code to another host port. In this situation, the SDK Code links printed later by the neat status command may incorrectly use port 10000 and fail to open.
Use the SDK Code URL printed by sima-cli immediately after SDK installation or setup; that URL contains the correct mapped host port. This display issue does not affect SDK Code itself and is planned for correction in the next SDK patch.
Thanks to @Onat-Inak for their first contribution to this release.
