Configuration

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

[env:espmxdevkit]
platform = espressif8266
board = espmxdevkit

You can override default ESP-Mx DevKit (ESP8285) settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest espmxdevkit.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:espmxdevkit]
platform = espressif8266
board = espmxdevkit

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp8266

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L

Uploading

ESP-Mx DevKit (ESP8285) supports the next uploading protocols:

  • espota

  • esptool

Default protocol is esptool

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:espmxdevkit]
platform = espressif8266
board = espmxdevkit

upload_protocol = esptool

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger currently does not support ESP-Mx DevKit (ESP8285) board.
