Please use heltec_wifi_kit_8 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:heltec_wifi_kit_8]
platform = espressif8266
board = heltec_wifi_kit_8
You can override default Heltec Wifi kit 8 settings per build environment using
board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from
board manifest heltec_wifi_kit_8.json. For example,
board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.
[env:heltec_wifi_kit_8]
platform = espressif8266
board = heltec_wifi_kit_8
; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp8266
; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L
PIO Unified Debugger currently does not support Heltec Wifi kit 8 board.
