+Processor support is limited and various components are marked with "alpha" support

+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

+Connect a MCHP SNAP in CMSIS mode to the [[https://wiki.kewl.org/dokuwiki/boards:seeedxiao|Seeduino Xiao]]
