Configuration

Please use seeed_xiao_esp32c3 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:seeed_xiao_esp32c3]
platform = espressif32
board = seeed_xiao_esp32c3

You can override default Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest seeed_xiao_esp32c3.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:seeed_xiao_esp32c3]
platform = espressif32
board = seeed_xiao_esp32c3

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp32c3

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 160000000L

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
