Architecture Xtensa

In Arduino IDE 2, open Boards Manager, search "esp32" by Espressif and install it. Then go to Tools → Board and select "Micros2" for the microS2.

platformio.ini


[env:micros2]
platform  = espressif32
board     = esp32-s2-saola-1
framework = arduino

; Exact hardware config for microS2
board_build.mcu        = esp32s2
board_build.f_cpu      = 240000000L
board_build.flash_size = 16MB
