Global system platform.txt

[NicoHood]

It would be nice to have a platform.txt that cannot be overwritten by the avr-core. For example I need to change compiler.path={runtime.tools.avr-gcc.path}/bin/ to compiler.path=/usr/bin/. But I also need to add some extra cpp flags that are specific for the avr-gcc 6.x.

I am still not sure whats the best way to solve this, but if we can make the distribution avr-gcc packages more accessible its simpler to package arduino for linux and also especially for archlinux never avr-gcc can already be tested for bugs.

I have the same problem with you. I follow"platform.txt"file link"https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5-3rd-party-Hardware-specification".I tested "{runtime.ide.path}",found the Global Predefined properties not work.

Similar here. I'd like to define global hook scripts (e.g. recipe.hooks.sketch.prebuild) without interfering with updates. Maybe located in "sketchbook location\global" or something?

If I understand the request correctly, we now have this feature, but only for Arduino IDE: https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/platform-specification/#global-platformtxt

@per1234 you beat me to the punch as usual :D

I agree with the previous posts, I would be great to have this feature back or, at least, another system to run pre-/ post- scripts before/after a build.

Is still planned?
