Specify F_CPU in arduino to use 8MHz clock I am using a custom made AVR board with Atmege-328p on it and it doesn't have a 16MHz crystal on it. I would like to use the internal 8MHz as clock. I have set the appropriate Fuses but now I am unable to tell the programs that F_CPU is 8000000UL. One way of doing it is to add another variant to the boards. I would like to if there is another way to set F_CPU ?
No, the boards.txt file is where it is defined and the only place it is (or can be) defined. Making a new board variant is the proper way of adding a new board with new settings.
