How can I use a Custom Framework?

If you just have an updated version of the energia framework which platform-timsp430 already supports building for, then you can just use a platform_packages instruction in the platformio.ini to override the source for

github.com

platformio/platform-timsp430/blob/cd41df883a04d6fcc3883eb695ebc0829dbb572b/platform.json#L36-L41


      
          "framework-energiamsp430": {
            "type": "framework",
            "optional": true,
            "owner": "platformio",
            "version": "~1.10810.0"
          },

aka framework-energiamsp430.

platform_packages =
  framework-energiamsp340 @ https://github.com/youruser/yourcoolfork.git

Be aware that the source you point it at (e.g., a git repository) needs to have a package.json in it. You can copy the current one in <home folder>/.platformio/packages/framework-energiamsp430 and adapt the version field accordingly.

Add a new custom framework (that does not build on anything else) requires the appropriate declarations in the platform.json (which declares where to get the framework files, packaged as a “package” and where the builder script is within the platform) and an appropriate builder script.
