 Keys like *digital_output* and *SPI* represent group names and are taken from a predefined set of group names understood by MBSP. Keys nested within them are arbitrary user-defined names for a instance in that group. In those instances the keys are from the defined set specific for that group.

+  * "embeetle" : create an Embeetle IDE project
+  * "make" :  creates a makefile based "blinky" project.
