board¶Type: String (ID) | Multiple: No
PlatformIO has pre-configured settings for the most popular boards:
build configuration
upload configuration
debugging configuration
connectivity information, etc.
You can find a valid board ID in Boards catalog,
Boards Explorer or
platformio boards command.
board_build.mcu¶Type: String | Multiple: No
board_build.mcu is a microcontroller(MCU) type that is used by compiler to
recognize MCU architecture. The correct type of board_build.mcu depends on
platform library. For example, the list of board_build.mcu for “megaAVR Devices”
is described here.
The full list of board_build.mcu for the popular embedded platforms you can find
in Boards section of Development Platforms. See “Microcontroller” column.
board_build.f_cpu¶Type: Integer | Multiple: No
An option board_build.f_cpu is used to define MCU frequency (Hertz, Clock). A
format of this option is C-like long integer value with L suffix. The
1 Hertz is equal to 1L, then 16 MHz (Mega Hertz) is equal to 16000000L.
The full list of board_build.f_cpu for the popular embedded platforms you can
find in Boards section of Development Platforms. See “Frequency” column. You can
overclock a board by specifying a board_build.f_cpu value other than the default.
You can override any board option declared in manifest file using the next
format board_{OBJECT.PATH}, where {OBJECT.PATH} is an object path in
JSON manifest. Please navigate to “boards” folder of PlatfomIO development platforms
and open JSON file to list all available options.
For example, Manifest: Espressif ESP32 Dev Module:
[env:custom_board_options]
; Custom CPU Frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 160000000L
; Custom FLASH Frequency
board_build.f_flash = 80000000L
; Custom FLASH Mode
board_build.flash_mode = qio
; Custom maximum program size
board_upload.maximum_size = 1310720
