# Vendor and operation support

> Choose by native project format and verify each required operation.

Prescaler does not replace SDK compilers, licensed vendor tools, probe firmware or device flash algorithms. Its unified UI sits above those tools where an integration exists.

| CMake / Ninja / Make                                      | Native source configuration and builds; compilation-database editor support | Flash/debug require compatible device and backend configuration                                  |
| PlatformIO                                                | Environment discovery and selection; environment-scoped commands            | Extended/interpolated configuration may require native metadata inspection                       |
| Zephyr / Nordic SDK                                       | CMake intent discovery; selected SDK board passed to west build             | Full Devicetree/Kconfig language services and universal west-runner integration are not complete |
| ESP-IDF                                                   | Native project intent and configured target; idf.py build                   | SDK environment and target-change procedure remain authoritative                                 |
| STM32Cube CMake                                           | CMake build plus explicit project/device evidence                           | Cube-generated configuration and hardware setup remain native                                    |

| IAR, Keil, MCUXpresso managed, CCS, MPLAB native projects | No complete managed-project integration advertised                          | A supported exported CMake/Make project is different from native-IDE support                     |

Use this matrix as a compatibility starting point, not a certification for every board. Register descriptions, build support and debug support are independent. Physical acceptance should include programming, reset, attach, breakpoints and recovery for your exact device/probe combination.
