-apt install python3 python3-pip+Processor support is limited and various components are marked with "alpha" support 
 +at this time.
  
-rehash+It can work with boards with built-in interfaces or the SNAP and PICKIT 4 
 +interfaces updated with new firmware and switched into AVR mode (untested).
  
 +Interesting side note, the SNAP was £7 and the PICKIT 4 £45 in 2019 and now
 +cost £39 for the SNAP and £88 for the PICKIT 4 in 2022. Microchip
 +offer this free tool with limited support yet very expensive hardware to use it
 +with.
 +===TODO===
 +
 +Connect a MCHP SNAP in CMSIS mode to the [[https://wiki.kewl.org/dokuwiki/boards:seeedxiao|Seeduino Xiao]]
 +and see if it functions.
 +===Install===
 +
 +Python 3 is a requirement and the tool is installed using pip.
 +
 +<code>
 +apt install python3 python3-pip
 +rehash
 pip3 install pymcuprog pip3 install pymcuprog
 +</code>
