.. warning::
    As a general recommendation, downloading directly from the master branch should be avoided. 
    Even though it should not, it could contain incomplete or faulty code.

* **PlatformIO**

Refer to the section :ref:`PlatformIO <arduino-platformio>` and the `official website`_.


.. note::
    PlatformIO is a professional collaborative platform for embedded development. It is an alternative to the Arduino IDE and is compatible with the Arduino ecosystem.
    PlatformIO is not officially supported by Infineon Technologies AG.
