support for AVR Dx series / DxCore

[sstaub]

I know this is the wrong place, but can you add support for the DxCore similar to the MegaCoreX?

@MCUdude @SpenceKonde What all do we need to support this? I just had some boards made and I'd much prefer to use Platform IO instead of Arduino IDE.

I'd like to help out with this, but I'm just not sure where to get started. I was looking at getting the manifest files and stuff added, however it appears that a package needs to be created for the dxcore project and I'm not sure where to even get started.

It was me and @valeros who added support for MegaCoreX and megaTinyCore. Basically, what needs to be done is to create manifest files for each AVR-DA and AVR-DB part, and make sure all build parameters match the ones in the DxCore boards.txt file. Also, the fuses.py script needs to be updated.

I can do all this and submit a PR, but I'd like to know if @valeros have time for this now before I start working. He has been busy recently and not responded to #17 yet, which IMO is vital for DxCore support.

hello :) Sorry to bother you guys, but is there any news ? tried to install https://github.com/brunob45/platform-atmelavrdx to use the avr64DA32 but a lot of missing files :x With AVR128DA32 it's compiling but don't have access to this ones :(

Verbose mode can be enabled via -v, --verbose option

That looks like the last Official Arduino toolchain version, The one I've been distributing with DxCore and megaTinyCore works up through DD64's which aren't even out.

looks like I'm doing something wrong then in platformio on launch of my workspace i get

[25/11/2021, 16:55:38] Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath "C:/Users/Matou/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/avr-gcc.exe". Using "cl.exe" instead.

i think will finally go to arduino ide to play with the new avr Dx chips :(

thanks for the response SpenceKonde

@valeros this issue can be closed now that #19 has been merged.
