The '''CAT-DEV''' is the primary Wii U development kit. It is analogous to the Wii's [[NDEV]].
The '''CAT-DEV''' ('''Cafe Tool for Development''') was the Wii U's main devkit.

There are also Latte B1X CAT-DEVs (or at least IOSU has support for that configuration), but it's not clear if they were distributed externally or not.
== CAT-DEV EV ==
The CAT-DEV EV (also known as the CAFE EV, EV board or just EV) was a variant of the CAT-DEV used internally at Nintendo. It probably had additional debug features similar to the [[NDEV]]1; socketed chips, JTAG connectors, external clock connectors, etc.
There's also an "EV_Y" variant which was introduced with Latte A5X/CAT-DEV MP2.{{WiiUNavbox}}
