CPU Frequency 240 MHz

Flash Size 4MB

Flash Mode DIO

Upload Speed 921600

Architecture Xtensa

In Arduino IDE 2, open Boards Manager, search "esp32" by Espressif and install it. Then go to Tools → Board and select "M5stack-timer-cam" for the M5Stack-Timer-CAM.

platformio.ini


[env:m5stack-timer-cam]
platform  = espressif32
board     = esp32dev
framework = arduino

; Exact hardware config for M5Stack-Timer-CAM
board_build.mcu        = esp32
board_build.f_cpu      = 240000000L
board_build.flash_size = 4MB
