How to know which framework/board is officially supported?

Development Platforms

Hi,

While searching if there were plans to support RPi Pico 2 I’ve stumbled upon this thread.

I’m still new to PlatformIO, so now I’m a bit confused, because I do not really understand which framework/board listed in the docs is “officially supported”, as in this comment (platformio/platform-raspberrypi/pull/36#issuecomment-1501724359) from the CEO.

I’m working with the Arduino framework and Arduino Nano and was searching for a way to upgrade to a more powerful board.

However, based on this list, I do not understand if the Arduino framework, and thus Arduino Nano are officially supported considering that the platform is not ? Because Arduino framework is used by official platforms…

Any clarifications would be much appreciated!

Regards

PS: I had to remove some links since it’s my first post

The boards listed in https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/boards/index.html are officially supported in official platforms.

An Arduino Nano (ATMega328P) is of course included. The Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) is officially supported, with the Arduino framework (as implemented by ArduinoCore-Mbed), in platform-raspberrypi.The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is not supported in the official platform-raspberrypi, as per the links you posted.

Still, since PlatformIO is open source, anyone can create or expand on the list of supported chips by creating third-party (or expanding existing official) PlatformIO platforms. As was done with platform-raspberrypi, which e.g. per documentation supports all the newer Raspberry Pi boards (Pico 2 / RP2350, the boards with included WiFi, et cetera) and the Arduino-Pico core implementation.

Hello,

Thanks for the clarification. I was a bit lost.
It’s nice to know that all these boards are officially supported!

PS: I’ve ordered a RPI pico2, so I may soon play with it on platformIO. :slight_smile:
