How to install into PlatfromIO?

[zebra1993]

Im currently trying to import the MegaTinyCore into PlatformIO.

Ive checked Here to see if there is a guide on how to set it up.
The Template provided doesnt work when i change the Board to Attiny1624.

Copiing the the 2.4.2 Release into the packagesfolder and naming it "framework-megaTinyCore" didnt make it show up as a selectable platform.

I have added a file for the Attiny1624 in the atmelmegaavr Platform (just copy pasted an existing board that uses megatinycore)
but i get lots of errors about timers and other missing/wrong things.

Will i have to make a custom framework/Platform to get it running? Which would be somewhat above my head, could try though.

Alternativly i think ArduinoIDE should work aswell, im just used it PIO as all the other projects i have are also there.

Ideas/ suggestions reguarding the Installation?

I have a handfull of ATtiny1624 that i want to use for a CAN - SPI - Tiny - I2C project.

2.4.2 isn't pushed into platformio's, yet.
Two ways:

• use Arduino "IDE"
• wait.

Wouldn't recommend the waiting. I'm sure that somehow it is possible to make it work, I just don't know enough about pio to advise. Are you able to get any soft of debugginginfo

Platformio relies on json’s defining whole toolchain and available target boards. I think it should be possible to use 2.4.2 after replace, but still one must write feature=2 targets definitions. Without it, you can rely on actually available targets.

Also, it is very important nowadays to get proper toolchain. ATtiny 32k is last option left, because of shortages…

[SpenceKonde]

Also, that platformio document is pretty much obsolete by now, and I don't know enough about platformio to know how to update it.

Like - there are a whole bunch of new clock options for internal tuned oscillator,

What I don't understand about PIO is how much of the platform.txt and boards.txt it uses, and how much has to be specified in the pio config, and attachInterrupt has a new implementation that sidesteps it's habit of grabbing onto every possible pin interrupt vector, and reduces it's flash footprint by a couple hundred bytes under most circumstances. The printf option now has a menu. Wire needs the wire mode specified.

I don't know whether I can expect any of the stuff I enter in boards.txt and platform.txt to get carried over, though. And if it doesn't, 2.5.0 is going to totally hose PIO, since there's a bunch of stuff that relies on the default menu selections doing something. Is that a problem? I don't really know...

Wanting to have more sophisticated IDE I tried to move to VisualMicro and Atmel/MCHPStudio - looks very good and integrates with arduino almost seamlessly. It is not free, though…
