Description

I've encountered an issue where my program is too large for the micro:bit v1, and the pxt build command fails with the message "program too big by xxx bytes!" How can I configure my project to build exclusively for micro:bit v2?

Research direction

Start with the pxt build command and the project settings that select the micro:bit target. Determine how a project can build exclusively for micro:bit v2, then verify the configuration with a program that exceeds the micro:bit v1 size limit. Done means the supported configuration or limitation is clearly documented.
