The pins_arduino.h
is usually a part of the variants folder of the framework, that is, if a board declares "variant":"xyz"
in its board JSON file, then <package dir>/framework-arduinoespressif32/variants/xyz/pins_arduino.h
is expected to exist.
As you can see in
the builder script however also allows a redirection of the variants
directory from the framework package to a project-local folder. I.e., if your project has a variants
folder, you can do
board_build.variants_dir = variants
to resolve the issue.
This has been discussed before.
