Warning
Advanced Scripting is recommended for Advanced Users and requires knowledge of the Python language.
Warning
Dynamic build flags is a highly recommended alternative to advanced scripting, where you can use any programming language. Also, that option is useful if you need to apply changes to the project before the building/uploading process, such as:
Macro with the latest VCS revision/tag “on-the-fly”
Generate dynamic headers (*.h)
Process media content before generating SPIFFS image
Make some changes to source code or related libraries
The PlatformIO Build System allows the user to extend the build process with custom scripts using the Python interpreter and the SCons construction tool. Build flags, upload flags, targets, toolchains data and other information are available for modification as SCons Construction Environments. Custom scripts are included with extra_scripts
Warning
You can not run or debug these scripts manually with a Python interpreter. They will be loaded automatically when the pio run command processes the project environment.
