I've been struggling to add a new board definition for my custom ESP32 module - I have gotten through creating the package_vintlabs_index.json fine, and I mostly understand the boards.txt and platform.txt files, however the issue I seem to have is that it does not inherit from the ESP32 core.
When I try to compile, I get:

Error compiling for board VintLabs ESP32 PWM Driver v1.
After reading this thread: Custom Board Profile in Newer Arduino IDE - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum (Which is a VERY helpful discussion!), it seems to me that my issue is that it is not inheriting from the esp32 platform.txt, and thus is not specifying the correct include directories.
I see:
"-I/home/pvint/.arduino15/packages/VintLabs/hardware/esp32/1.0.1/tools/sdk/include/freertos"
What I expected to see:
"-I/home/pvint/.arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/1.0.3/tools/sdk/include/freertos/freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
My platform.txt:
name=VintLabs ESP32 Boards
version=1.0.0
compiler.warning_flags=-w
compiler.warning_flags.none=-w
compiler.warning_flags.default=
compiler.warning_flags.more=-Wall
compiler.warning_flags.all=-Wall -Wextra
Relevant part of boards.txt:
vintlabs-pwm-v1.build.mcu=esp32
vintlabs-pwm-v1.build.core=esp32:esp32
vintlabs-pwm-v1.build.variant=esp32:esp32
vintlabs-pwm-v1.build.board=ESP32_DEV
Really hoping someone can shed some light on this and help point me in the right direction!
