What is(are) the API(s) that TMCL-IDE supports in communicating with Trinamic eval kits?

Category: Software
Product Number: TMC-2209
Software Version: All versions of the TMCL IDE, both Windows and Linux

I am interested in using the TMCL IDE for testing, measuring and designing stepper motor systems, currently using TMC-2209 ICs, but not Trinamic eval kits. (Actually, a board with RP2040 MCU, running CircuitPython, FYI).  I'm in the midst of porting a stripped-down version of the PyTrinamic library to run on the MCU.

So the question is: What choices do I have for TMCL IDE I/O (API) with my board?  Note that I'm talking about the application-level API (e.g., TMCL text commands, commands packed in a 5-byte packet, etc.), not the physical-level protocol (serial over USB).  Is my question answered by a current manual for the IDE? Is there a current manual? (All of the ones I found online are quite old, back at the 3.x version.)

I would also appreciate getting any recommendations for simpler ways of achieving my goal: Creating a test environment with similar capabilities to the TMCL IDE using target boards with MCUs such as the RP2040 and TMC IC driver chips.

TIA,

Mike
