M5Stack Paper removed?

PlatformIO IDE
1

Today I noticed that the M5Stack Paper board (ID: m5stack_paper) can no longer be found in the docs. I can still find it in my Board Explorer, but the link shows “Page not found.”

Was this deleted intentionally, or did I overlook something?

Do you use pioarduino’s Espressif32 Platform?
There is a board manifest for m5stack-paper.json

PlatformIO probably never had this board manifest ?! (See platform-espressif32/boards at develop · platformio/platform-espressif32 · GitHub)

In this case, there is no PlatformIO documentation for this board.

I can’t find the board manifest with the link you sent:

Something went wrong while pasting the link.

No, I did not use the pioarduino’s Espressif32 Platform. Here is the ini file for the project that compiles just fine on my old PC:

[env:m5stack_paper]
platform = espressif32
board = m5stack_paper
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
lib_deps = 
	m5stack/M5Unified@>=0.2.5
	m5stack/M5GFX@>=0.2.7
	bblanchon/ArduinoJson
	knolleary/PubSubClient@^2.8

In the meantime, I found these two files in the PlatformIO folder on my old PC. When I copy these to other PCs, I can compile again with no errors.

Do you know of a more elegant way to do this? For example, can I store and reference these files inside my project? Would it be worth creating a GitHub issue to restore these files?

Simply use pioarduino’s fork of the Espressif32 Platform.
This also brings the latest Espressif32 Arduino Framework (currently 3.3.3):

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/stable/platform-espressif32.zip

Using PlatformIO’s Espressif32 platform keeps you stuck on Arduino 2.0.17.
