# Devices

There is a wide variety of devices that you can connect to your Edge Impulse project. These devices can help you collect datasets for your project, test your trained ML model and even deploy your ML model directly to your development board with a pre-built binary application (for [fully supported development platforms](/hardware)).

On the **Devices** tab, you'll find a list of all your connected devices and a guide on how to connect new devices that are supported by Edge Impulse.

You will get a pop-up with multiple options of devices you can connect to your Edge Impulse project. Available options include:

* [Connecting a fully supported development board](/hardware).
* [Using your mobile phone](/hardware/devices/mobile-phone).
* [Using your computer (Linux/Mac)](/hardware/devices/macos).
* [Using the serial port to connect devices that are not fully supported](/tools/clis/edge-impulse-cli/data-forwarder).
