 ## Why Use the Board Manager?

+The board manager is a tool that is used to install different board packages on your local computer. So what is a **board package**, and why is it necessary that I install one?
 
-Simply explained, a core is written and designed for specific microcontrollers. Arduino offers several different types of boards, and these boards may also have different types of microcontrollers. While different microcontrollers accomplish tasks in similar ways, the way code is compiled, pins are mapped, and what features are available is tailor-made to the silicon itself, meaning that this will also be microcontroller-specific.

-What a core does is to act as a layer between all of this microcontroller-specific jargon, and you - the maker. The core translates it into the Arduino API you are already familiar with so that you can program any of the microcontrollers in the Arduino ecosystem in the same way.

-For example, an Arduino UNO has an **ATmega328P**, which uses the **AVR core**, while an Arduino Nano 33 IoT has a **SAMD21** microcontroller, where we need to use the **SAMD core**. However, regardless of what microcontroller is on the board we are using, `digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH)` will turn on the built-in LED, and `analogRead(A0)` will read the analog pin 0 and check for a voltage.
