Note

The above lists the officially supported SoCs, but many other SoCs exist within the same family. Typically, all SoCs within a supported family are compatible. However, peripheral-related functions may not be fully supported across all variants, and the pinout and functionality can differ between SoCs. Developers should verify the specific pin assignments and capabilities for their target device. Core functions, such as Wi-Fi, BLE, and neural network (NN) processing, are supported without any pinout limitations.
