This just hit me tonight - but I do not believe I have seen any docs or tools or SDK for Naomi development. Or even a homebrew/demo. My google- & search-fu may just suck though. So, if someone wanted to build a demo for naomi, what's the toolchain/process? Apologies if this is obvious - I just couldnt find anything (easily) - and that surprised me.
 
Ok, did some more research, and found this (and it just only recently happened!):



And more specifically:

But that seems to be the only option. I wonder what was used "officially"? (but not a big deal - I am unblocked now, at least for a bit).

Atomiswave dev kits were just DC kits with some different hardware. NAOMI was not much different than that considering it's all based on the same architecture.

Right - but I dont recall seeing anything in the katana docs referencing targeting naomi (nor atomiswave or hikaru). If you have seen otherwise, please point me to it!

My main need is - for the timebeing - addressed with kOS. Though I am now curious of what the devs used - in terms of toolchain/software - for targeting arcade hardware.

I'll ask around and see if I can find some docs
 
It would be interesting as the Naomi SDK must have had some kind of JVS interface code as well (access coin counts, keyboard, lightgun, analogs, etc). Probably the only addition (the Atomiswave dev kit basically replaced the modem with a JVS port iirc).

Crazy it was never leaked. Most likely the main systems are the same (even Kamui has a NAOMI option for initialization).

Wasn't most of that handled by a JVS <-> Maple IC?
 
@mltv I think the best you may find is this homebrew minimalist environment
github.com

netboot/homebrew at trunk · DragonMinded/netboot

Utilities for netbooting and talking to a NetDimm installed in a Naomi, Triforce or Chihiro. - DragonMinded/netboot

what makes you to think so ?
arcade SDKs or docs leaks happen in very very very rare and unique cases, it is crazy miracle if this happens.

I think I've seen very few - NeoGeo and one more platform, which had official docs/build tools/SDK leaked, from all the hundreds of different arcade platforms.
