Pending conversation results between myself, Kari, and Shantha.

Summary of discussed changes:

• Have only 1 table with OS support for FW and remove the tier definitions -- this is to keep it short and clear and within the context of the SDK
• Move the OS support for tools to their own documentation and link to there (nRF Util) -- this is because tools means just nRF Util, VS Code extension, and nRF Connect for Desktop (which both use nRF Util), not the entirety of the toolchain

simplified table looks good.

Pending an update from @shanthanordic on Thursday, Oct 10, 9 am.

[greg-fer]

The latest edit applies the following changes:

• Firmware table placed on top

  

• Table for nRF Util, nRF CfDesktop, and consequently VSC extension placed in the section that mentions these tools at the bottom of the page -- there is also a new section about Toolchain Manager there, because it is that tool in nRF Connect for Desktop that needs this table.

  

Reasons why I did not place the tools table first and firmware table after tools, smaller, at the top of the page:

• "tools" has been misinterpreted several times by different people to be referring to toolchain's required tools and Python dependencies
• placing the tools table before the toolchain and Python dependencies sections does not solve this confusion
• rephrasing "tools" to "nRF Util, VSC, nRF Connect for Desktop" does not help either if the table is still placed before the toolchain and Python dependencies sections -- it will make people think that all these three tools are required by the NCS
• having table for tools and then table for firmware in the SDK documentation that is all about firmware makes no logical sense to me

Should "v2.7.0" be replaced with "|release|"? Or is that supposed to be left only for v2.7.0?

[greg-fer]

Only for v2.7.0, AFAIK -- info from @FrancescoSer .
