Third party board profiles in 1.5 #1423
Conversation
…valid directories This allows you to create hardware profiles that support both pre-1.5 and 1.5 onwards (boards.txt, cores, bootloader etc. in root for pre-1.5 and <architecture>/ directories containing 1.5 onward content. Still prints a warning if a hardware folder doesn't contain anything 1.5 compatible.

Merged (manually). Thank you! |

Thank you, Cristian! Around the same time there was some related discussion on the developers list about allowing third party board profiles to supply their own 'core', while still using arduino's platform.txt - as I understand it at present if you want to ship your own core, you have to ship a copy of platform.txt to match (as the core is used to look up the platform.) My post to that thread with a suggestion is here: Did you get a chance to think about this one? Still happy to send a pull request if the change would be acceptable (I think it would be very useful to avoid unnecessary duplication of platform.txt with the resulting divergence of content.) Cheers, Angus |

A couple of tweaks I noticed were useful when writing a v1.5-compliant board profile for the Freetronics LeoStick.
Will start a thread on the developer list as well.
