Hardware

Platform Atmel AVR: Atmel AVR 8-bit MCUs deliver a unique combination of performance, power efficiency and design flexibility. Optimized to speed time to market-and easily adapt to new ones-they are based on the industry’s most code-efficient architecture for C and assembly programming

Microcontroller	ATMEGA328P
Frequency	8MHz
Flash	31.50KB
RAM	2KB
Vendor	Punch Through

Configuration

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

[env:lightblue-bean]
platform = atmelavr
board = lightblue-bean

You can override default LightBlue Bean settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest lightblue-bean.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:lightblue-bean]
platform = atmelavr
board = lightblue-bean

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = atmega328p

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 8000000L

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “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).

LightBlue Bean has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

Compatible Tools	On-board	Default
