Tried my hand at adding it to boards but don't think i fully grasp what needs to be done

Hey @eiginn ,

Thanks a lot for this proposition 👍 Do you have this board?

P.S: You can move this code to pinoccio.json and place it to ~/.platformio/boards directory. If boards dir doesn't exists, just create it.

[eiginn]

Yeah I do have some of these boards. Thanks for the tip on keeping the board definition separate.

Tasks:

• Add support for @Pinoccio boards to atmelavr development platform (Assigned to @valeros)
• Add "arduino-pinoccio" example and add Git-submodule from https://github.com/Pinoccio/library-pinoccio to examples/atmelavr-and-arduino/arduino-pinoccio/lib (Assigned to @valeros)
• Add information about @Pinoccio boards to main documentation (Assigned to: @ivankravets)
• Add information about @Pinoccio boards to PlatformIO Web Site (Assigned to: @ivankravets)
• Create library.json for @Pinoccio and pull request to https://github.com/Pinoccio/library-pinoccio (Assigned to: @ivankravets)

I can't manage to get the pinoccio working with PlatformIO.
As said above, I've added the pinoccio.json to ~/.platformio/boards but there still is this error:

Error: This board doesn't support arduino framework!

Any progress with this?

[ivankravets]

@robin7331 is this project alive? I see that they don't support it.

[robin7331]

I don't think the Pinoccio project is still active in terms of further development.
But you can still buy these boards at CroudSupply

I personally have a couple of boards that I use for quick prototyping and so on. Therefore it would be great to code them via platformio!

[ivankravets]

@robin7331 how do you program these boards now?

[robin7331]

Arduino IDE

[ivankravets]

Do you use the latest Arduino IDE with board_manifest.json or previous 1.5.x?

[robin7331]

I am running the latest Version of the Arduino IDE (1.6.9).
Sorry, but what do you mean by board_manifest.json ?

[ivankravets]

This is URL that you paste to Arduino IDE to add support for Pinoccio. Could you share it here?

[robin7331]

Ah I got it!
Yes, here is the URL https://robertgallup.github.io/pinoccio/package_pinoccio_index.json

[ivankravets]

@valeros please add support for this board

[valeros]

Hi @robin7331 !
Please install development branch and update packages via platformio update. Does it work?
Thanks!
