| Question | Answer |
|----------|--------|
| Is SONE248UC open‑source? | Yes – the core libraries, hardware schematics, and many tools are released under permissive licenses (Apache‑2.0 or MIT). |
| Do you support commercial use? | Absolutely. The open‑core can be embedded in proprietary products, and we offer optional SaaS and support contracts. |
| What hardware platforms are supported? | ARM Cortex‑M series, RISC‑V (esp. SiFive), ESP‑32/ESP‑32‑C3, and a few FPGA families (Xilinx Artix‑7, Lattice iCE40). |
| How can I request a feature? | Open an issue on the relevant GitHub repository, tag it with feature-request, and our product managers will review it. |
| Are there training resources? | Yes – a Sone Academy with video tutorials, hands‑on labs, and certification tracks (Beginner → Expert). |
