# n64os-info
The official Nintendo 64 SDK that was sent to developers was split among a number of discs [[1]][[2]],
among that the **Nintendo 64 OS (N64 OS)** which contained e.g. release notes, documentation, libultra, C headers, object files and microcode.
The N64 OS is not to be confused with the 'kernel' that runs on the N64 as
[mentioned](https://ultra64.ca/files/documentation/online-manuals/man/pro-man/pro06/index.html)
in the online manuals.
