LightBlue Bean
==============

.. contents::

Hardware
--------

Platform :ref:`platform_atmelavr`: 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

.. list-table::

  * - **Microcontroller**
    - ATMEGA328P
  * - **Frequency**
    - 8MHz
  * - **Flash**
    - 31.50KB
  * - **RAM**
    - 2KB
  * - **Vendor**
    - `Punch Through <https://punchthrough.com/bean?utm_source=platformio.org&utm_medium=docs>`__


Configuration
-------------

Please use ``lightblue-bean`` ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

.. code-block:: ini

  [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 <https://github.com/platformio/platform-atmelavr/blob/master/boards/lightblue-bean.json>`_. For example,
``board_build.mcu``, ``board_build.f_cpu``, etc.

.. code-block:: ini

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

  ; change microcontroller
  board_build.mcu = atmega328p

  ; change MCU frequency
  board_build.f_cpu = 8000000L

Debugging
---------

:ref:`piodebug` - "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 :ref:`debugging_tools` using
:ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in :ref:`projectconf`.

LightBlue Bean does not have on-board debug probe and **IS NOT READY** for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
