select custom board

[jon-daemon]

Hello, I have created a few custom boards but I cannot find them in Deviot. I can see my boards if I execute platformio boards in terminal. Should I update the list in Deviot somehow?

I'm improving this feature in v2 of deviot, in this version you should remove the file located in: Packages\User\Deviot\Preset\platformio_boards.json and restart ST

It will took a few seconds to refresh and show the new board

I deleted this file but it didn't reappear after restarting ST. Also it wasn't showing the boards list to select one. It reappeared after building a project, disabling and enabling Deviot. I found that it changed the structure of my boards json files. I had something like that:

{
"my_board_name":{
"build": {},
    "frameworks": [], 
    "name": "", 
    "platform": "", 
    "upload": {}, 
    "url": "", 
    "vendor": ""
  }
}

which turned into this:

{
  "build": {}, 
  "frameworks": [], 
  "name": "", 
  "platform": "", 
  "upload": {}, 
  "url": "", 
  "vendor": ""
}

After this change I can see my boards on Deviot but it gives me an error if I execute platformio boards in terminal.

Your first structure is like this:? https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/issues/77#issuecomment-253287689

Try again, and this time after delete the file in the Preset folder, go to Deviot > Language and select your current language, it will ask to restart Deviot, accept it and tell me if the behavior is the same

No, the structure I was using is like this because I found that only with this structure I'm not getting errors on terminal.

After the structure change they are like the commment you posted but I get this error

[gepd]

it seems to be a problem with PlatformIO.

The last structure is working only with PlatformIO 3, having open a cpp or ino file, Deviot will show you the version installed in the status bar, if your version is 2.x I suggest you to update from

Deviot Menu > Options > Upgrade PlatformIO

After install the last version (3.1.0 in this moment) you shouldn't have problem but If you keep getting errors, you can remove the folder Deviot in Packages\User it will make to install PlatformIO again, this time all errors should be gone

And you should use this json structure for your board

I have Deviot 1.2.5 and PlatformIO 3.1.0 I use Mac OS X 10.12 and ST build 3126. I tried all your suggestions with no luck. I created just one board with the structure you suggested. Everything is working fine on ST but still getting the same error in Terminal.

edit: It seems to be fixed after upgrading platformio with

sudo pip install -U platformio
