In my fork of platform-ststm32 there is new board defined, that is supported in v122 and v123 of mbed framework. I installed the platform using GH archive link:
$ pio platform install https://github.com/zgoda/platform-ststm32/archive/bluepill_f103c8.zip
PlatformManager: Installing bluepill_f103c8

The rest of packages will be installed automatically depending on your build environment.
Now if I try to initialize test project for this board I get:

Is there anything I should do additionally to get newer mbed framework version?
In this case, need to use plain Git repository URL. PlatformIO Package Manager will handle submodules automatically. Try:
pio platform install https://github.com/zgoda/platform-ststm32.git#bluepill_f103c8
```
P.S: Also, you can test custom board without forking development platform. See updated docs http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_board.html
Thanks, the idea is to have support for this board in platform-ststm32 and that’s the purpose of fork. Will do a PR when I confirm this board is working properly.
That because @valeros has not merged feature/new-mbed-builder-integration to develop branch yet. Please install feature/new-mbed-builder-integration and place temporary your board to boards folder in the platform root.
pio platform uninstall ststm32
pio platform install https://github.com/platformio/platform-ststm32.git#feature/new-mbed-builder-integration
Then, if it works, @valeros will merge feature/new-mbed-builder-integration to develop. Please test new ARM mbed builder with your different projects.
Thank you, this time it worked, project has been properly initialized and I was able to build MBED_BLINKY example without errors. Will report back if it works on the board later today as I don’t have it at hand.
One thing that is missing is the upload protocol that is specified in board def as stlink and did not made into platformio.ini file.
We will wait for your PR! Thanks.
