# Compatible Microcontrollers

QMK runs on any USB-capable AVR or ARM microcontroller with enough flash space - generally 32kB+ for AVR, and 64kB+ for ARM. With significant disabling of features, QMK may *just* squeeze into 16kB AVR MCUs.

Features within QMK may or may not be compatible with every microcontroller.

## Atmel AVR

The following use [LUFA](https://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php) as the USB stack:

* [ATmega16U2](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega16U2) / [ATmega32U2](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega32U2)
* [ATmega16U4](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega16U4) / [ATmega32U4](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega32U4)
  * SparkFun Pro Micro (and clones)
  * PJRC Teensy 2.0
  * Adafruit Feather 32U4
* [AT90USB64](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT90USB646) / [AT90USB128](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT90USB1286)
  * PJRC Teensy++ 2.0
* [AT90USB162](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT90USB162)

Certain MCUs which do not have native USB will use [V-USB](https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html) instead:

* [ATmega32A](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega32A)
* [ATmega328P](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega328P)
* [ATmega328](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATmega328)

## ARM

You can also use any ARM chip with USB that [ChibiOS](https://www.chibios.org) supports. Most have plenty of flash. Known to work are:

   * PJRC Teensy 3.6

### Raspberry Pi

* [RP2040](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/rp2040.html)

For a detailed overview about the RP2040 support by QMK see the [dedicated RP2040 page](platformdev_rp2040.md).

## Atmel ATSAM

There is limited support for one of Atmel's ATSAM microcontrollers, that being the [ATSAMD51J18A](https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATSAMD51J18A) used by the [Massdrop keyboards](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/massdrop). However, it is not recommended to design a board with this microcontroller as the support is quite specialized to Massdrop hardware.

## RISC-V

### GigaDevice

[ChibiOS-Contrib](https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib) has support for the GigaDevice [GD32VF103 series](https://www.gigadevice.com/products/microcontrollers/gd32/risc-v/mainstream-line/gd32vf103-series/) microcontrollers and provides configurations for the [SiPeed Longan Nano](https://longan.sipeed.com/en/) development board that uses this microcontroller. It is largely pin and feature compatible with STM32F103 and STM32F303 microcontrollers.
