description: >-
  Analog Devices ships two first-party command-line surfaces: cfsutil, the
  CodeFusion Studio utility that drives workspace, package, SoC, ELF and AI
  model workflows and holds the only documented authentication surface ADI
  publishes; and the libiio command-line tools, which read and write IIO
  device attributes and buffers over USB, local and network transports.

      cfsutil is the only ADI surface in this repo with a documented
      authentication model. The VS Code extension does not support API key
      authentication — keys are a cfsutil-only feature for CI/CD.
