Platform Package not found from Platformio.ini

[vojkob]

Dear All,
I have problem with one project, running on WIN10, Platformio last update, We used WaveShare display demo software to built up system based on Arduino ESP32-S3. On one PC was everything ok. When we transfered project to other PC, the problem arrised:

The line platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32@https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git

cause this error to trigger

UnknownPackageError: Could not find the package with 'espressif/toolchain-riscv32-esp @ 13.2.0+20240530' requirements for your system 'windows_amd64'

We can not understand where is the problem since the URL is OK (it is this GitHub repository). but the files can not be find.
The problem is that we get then a lot of errors during compile due to missing references to libraries or missing definitions.

Do You have any idea what can be the problem?

The platformio ini file is bellow:

[env:esp32-s3-devkitm-1]
platform = [email protected]
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1-n8r8v
framework = arduino
platform_packages =
platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32@https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git
platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32-libs@https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-libs.git#idf-release/v5.1

build_flags =
-DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
-DLV_CONF_INCLUDE_SIMPLE
-DDISABLE_ALL_LIBRARY_WARNINGS
; -DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1
; -DCORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=1

Thanks a lot for any hint,
Vojko

try platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32@https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git#release/v3.0.x or better yet, move to pioarduino as replacement for the now unsupported PlatformIO

We actually solved issue by copying toolchain into platform directly. But after compile I get single error:
*** [.pio\build\esp32-s3-devkitm-1\firmware.elf] Implicit dependency C:\Users\vojko\.platformio\platforms\[email protected]\builder\LUCIFIRE' not found, needed by target .pio\build\esp32-s3-devkitm-1\firmware.elf'.

I read that this is ususally when Platformio.ini have syntax errors, but I checked several times and used also original .ini from project. What I can notice is that there is no folder /lucifire in toolchains and Im not sure why.

Official Platformio is not working anymore with actual Arduino core. Use community version pioarduino

[env:esp32-s3-devkitm-1]
platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/stable/platform-espressif32.zip
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1-n8r8v
framework = arduino

build_flags =
-DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
-DLV_CONF_INCLUDE_SIMPLE
-DDISABLE_ALL_LIBRARY_WARNINGS
; -DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1
; -DCORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=1

How Platformio is not working? We are actually using Platformio with Arduino, this was first time we run into the problem. It was actually the problem that Platformio is not reporting problems correctly and we searched on wrong places. Basically, we copied packages from the system that worked into my system. The path specified in project didn't point to right ESP32 package. Then the problem was that linker couldnt find some definitions. When we clicked with CTRL button, the file was found, but linker was not able to find definition. At the end we found out, that I copied the path from windows into Platformio.ini, but platfomio use slash as separator between folder, windows use backslash. Since Platformi din't reported any syntax or path error, we searched everywhere for the problem. But OK, these I need to go over since the software is open source and is far from being perfect.

This

platform_packages =
    platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32@https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git
    platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32-libs@https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-libs.git#idf-release/v5.1

is not working anymore. Never officially supported from Platformio, since it targets Arduino core 3.0.x

This is branch master which is develop of Arduino Core 3.1.x

platform_packages =
    https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git

so you are mixing different Core versions

[Jason2866]

So when wanting to use any of the espressif32 Arduino core 3.x versions with Platformio, the worry free way is only pioarduino

Ok thanks a lot for answers and tips.
