Software maturity

The table on this page lists the maturity levels for Edge AI Add-on v3.0.0, based on nRF Connect SDK v3.4.1. The maturity can change between add-on releases. See the Release notes for announcements.

Maturity definitions follow the nRF Connect SDK categories documented in the Software maturity levels page:

• Supported – Implemented, maintained, and suitable for product development.

• Not supported (–) – Not implemented or not maintained for this add-on.

• Experimental – Available for development and evaluation, but not recommended for production. Interfaces and behavior may change between releases.
