Hardware
--------

Platform :ref:`platform_microchippic32`: Microchip's 32-bit portfolio with the MIPS microAptiv or M4K core offer high performance microcontrollers, and all the tools needed to develop your embedded projects. PIC32 MCUs gives your application the processing power, memory and peripherals your design needs!

  * - **Frequency**
    - 48MHz
  * - **Flash**
    - 244KB
  * - **RAM**

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

Please use ``helvepic32_mx270`` ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

.. code-block:: ini

  [env:helvepic32_mx270]
  platform = microchippic32
  board = helvepic32_mx270

You can override default HelvePic32 MX270 settings per build environment using
``board_***`` option, where ``***`` is a JSON object path from
board manifest `helvepic32_mx270.json <https://github.com/platformio/platform-microchippic32/blob/master/boards/helvepic32_mx270.json>`_. For example,
``board_build.mcu``, ``board_build.f_cpu``, etc.

.. code-block:: ini

  [env:helvepic32_mx270]
  platform = microchippic32
  board = helvepic32_mx270

  ; change microcontroller
  board_build.mcu = 32MX270F256B

  ; change MCU frequency
  board_build.f_cpu = 48000000L

Debugging
---------
:ref:`piodebug` currently does not support HelvePic32 MX270 board.
