Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12E

Hardware

Platform platform_espressif8266: ESP8266 is a cost-effective and highly integrated Wi-Fi MCU with built-in TCP/IP networking software for IoT applications. ESP8266 integrates an enhanced version of Tensilica’s L106 Diamond series 32-bit processor and on-chip SRAM.

Microcontroller	ESP8266
Frequency	80MHz
Flash	4MB
RAM	80KB
Vendor	Espressif

Configuration

Please use esp12e ID for projectconf_env_board option in projectconf:

[env:esp12e]
platform = espressif8266
board = esp12e

You can override default Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12E settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest esp12e.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:esp12e]
platform = espressif8266
board = esp12e

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp8266

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L

Uploading

Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12E supports the following uploading protocols:

• espota
• esptool

Default protocol is esptool

You can change upload protocol using projectconf_upload_protocol option:

[env:esp12e]
platform = espressif8266
board = esp12e

upload_protocol = esptool

Debugging

piodebug currently does not support Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12E board.
