# Prescaler documentation

> Develop firmware with project-aware editing, build tools, hardware evidence, and AI assistance.

Prescaler brings source editing, native builds, device inspection and HardwarePilot into one workspace. Your existing SDK and project configuration remain the authority for compiler flags, board selection and generated code.

Start with a real project or the bundled example. You do not need to learn an internal JSON format before building. Use **Build Setup** for the native configuration and **Target Configuration** for debug-device and connection preferences.

<Note>Support is operation-specific. Opening a project, completing its source and programming its device are separate capabilities. Consult the support matrix before choosing a production workflow.</Note>
