## Requirements & limits

- Needs compatible MediaTek hardware, its USB interface and the project dependencies. Linux instructions specify Python 3.10+; Windows instructions specify Python 3.9+, MTK port drivers and UsbDk. macOS has separate macFUSE/libusb setup and Apple Silicon notes.
- The listed V6 chipsets require a suitable device loader and preloader mode; their patched boot ROM is not supported through the older boot-ROM route. Flash writes and loader support are device-specific.
