Request to support the TI CC253X chips based on the 8051 #44

I may need some help fleshing this request out.

The TICC253X is an 8051 SOC. that with the zstack will support Zigbee, with some higher-level commands to create coordinators, routers, and end devices. There are a lot of Zigbee projects based on the TI CC253X of chips. Example https://www.ti.com/product/CC2530 Here is the one that got me down this rabbit hole. https://zigbee.blakadder.com/assets/files/E18-MS1-PCB_Usermanual_EN_v1.1.pdf This post pointed my to here https://community.platformio.org/t/does-platformio-support-8051-in-particular-cc253x/26103/2?u=paul1

There is a GUI tool that allows for implementing custom firmware on the CC253X chips. It is called PTVO. However, it still requires a UART interface to a different processor to make decisions. I think platformio support would be very beneficial, It would make the CC253X the ZigBee equivalent of ESP8266.

I would love to see this feature. It would be a big step to push open source zigbee for end device development.
