PlatformIO.ini for BSB-LAN

[parsley]

Hi,

because I use VScode / VScodium daily and kind of hate the "Arduino IDE", I reject installing it. 🙈😉
I rather start tinkering until I find/create/fix a working platformio.ini file. This has not changed since I asked for it a few years ago in issue 465. Thankfully @fredlcore provided his version and I used it to install BSB-LAN Version 2.1.8-20220731102301 on my Due and never updated it since.
But things change and I'd like to switch to an Olimex ESP32-PoE-ISO powered by my network switch and also update BSB-LAN benefit from the new MQTT implementation.
In issue 467 also @henrythasler was asking for a platformio.ini but I do understand the concern @fredlcore explains in that issue, too. Maintaining a platformio.ini can be additional workload and that is why I now follow his suggestion and start this discussion.
Right now I do not have any working platformio.ini and it would be greate if someone could post at least a fairly recent version that I could use as a starting point. The goal after that is obviously to keep this discussion alive and post a new and up to date platformio.ini version at least when someone asks for it.
@fredlcore could you help me out once again, please? 🫣

Sorry to say, but platformio for ESP32 is dead:
platformio/platform-espressif32#1225
I hate that because I code with platformio/VSCode, but for normal users who don't/shouldn't tinker with the code (which will be overwritten with any new update anyways), installing Arduino IDE for the simple purpose of flashing the software, is the best option. You don't have to like it for that (and, btw., version 2.x is a great improvement compared to 1.8.x).

Hi

Yes, I recently learned about that issue and hate it since this kind of explains an issue I recently discovered with an ESP_NOW based pet project of mine.
As far as I understand the issue PlatformIO did not update the espressif-arduino framework of PlatformIO for at least one year now. Which means all libraries are still on some version that is at least one year old and also newer ESP32 devices are not supported. That realy sucks.
I did not find any reason for this nor how to blame or how to fix or work around this mess since I didn't have the time to read all those ~400 Posts. Can someone summarize the issue?

However, you nevertheless still seam to develop BSB-LAN with PlatformIO, right?
If so, could you post your current setup despite the uncertain future of this setup?

I'm sorry, but you'll have look this up in the linked thread yourself. There are several ways of doing it, all are hacks, and I don't want to have to start entertaining questions about this here. It's really not needed for users of BSB-LAN, and if you want to continue using platformio for your own projects, then this understandable but off-topic here...
