Configuration

Please use espresso_lite_v2 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:espresso_lite_v2]
platform = espressif8266
board = espresso_lite_v2

You can override default ESPresso Lite 2.0 settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest espresso_lite_v2.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:espresso_lite_v2]
platform = espressif8266
board = espresso_lite_v2

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp8266

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L

Uploading

ESPresso Lite 2.0 supports the following uploading protocols:

  • espota

  • esptool

Default protocol is esptool

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:espresso_lite_v2]
platform = espressif8266
board = espresso_lite_v2

upload_protocol = esptool

Debugging

Debugging currently does not support ESPresso Lite 2.0 board.
