Hardware Compatibility Matrix

Documentation in Progress

This documentation is currently being developed. Hardware testing is ongoing with physical devices.

Status: ✅ Core protocols implemented, 🧪 Hardware validation in progress
Expected completion: After hardware validation phase

Coming Soon

This page will provide a comprehensive compatibility matrix for all supported hardware, including:

• Detailed Device Support: Complete compatibility status for each device model
• Connection Types: Serial, USB, WebREPL, and wireless support by device
• Firmware Versions: MicroPython and CircuitPython version compatibility
• Platform Support: Windows, Linux, macOS compatibility by device
• Performance Metrics: Communication speeds and reliability data
• Known Limitations: Device-specific limitations and workarounds
• Testing Status: Automated test coverage for each device type

Current Support Overview

Device Category	Status	Connection Types	Notes
Raspberry Pi Pico	✅ Fully Supported	USB Serial	Primary development target
ESP32 Family	✅ Fully Supported	USB Serial, WebREPL*	Most popular IoT platform
PyBoard	✅ Fully Supported	USB Serial	Original MicroPython board
CircuitPython Devices	🧪 Beta Support	USB Serial	Adafruit ecosystem
Generic STM32	📋 Planned	USB Serial	Next validation target
ESP8266	📋 Planned	USB Serial, WebREPL*	Memory-constrained testing

*WebREPL support planned for v0.3.0

Quick Compatibility Check

// Example of what's coming - device compatibility detection
var devices = await Device.DiscoverDevicesAsync();
foreach (var device in devices)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Device: {device.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Port: {device.Port}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Firmware: {device.FirmwareVersion}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Compatibility: {device.CompatibilityLevel}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Features: {string.Join(", ", device.SupportedFeatures)}");
    Console.WriteLine("---");
}

Validation Process

Our compatibility validation includes:

• Protocol Testing: Raw REPL and Raw-Paste mode validation
• Performance Testing: Communication speed and reliability
• Feature Testing: File transfer, error handling, and recovery
• Long-term Testing: Extended operation and connection stability
