SparkFun

Configuration

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

[env:sparkfun_thing_plus_v]
platform = sifive
board = sparkfun_thing_plus_v

You can override default SparkFun RED-V Thing Plus settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest sparkfun_thing_plus_v.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:sparkfun_thing_plus_v]
platform = sifive
board = sparkfun_thing_plus_v

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = fe310

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 320000000L

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).

SparkFun RED-V Thing Plus has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
