Description
I would like to request that the Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 board be added to the PlatformIO board library.
I am unable to find a working upload solution using the default Raspberry Pi Pico board profile already existing in PlatformIO.
There is an Arduino IDE board manager library available here, which works perfectly in Arduino IDE:
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json
The core support documentation for the product is available here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-macropad-rp2040
If there is an existing way to make this work in PlatformIO, I am all ears. Thank you.

Research direction
Start with the existing Raspberry Pi Pico board profile and compare it with the Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 core support documentation and Arduino RP2040 package linked in the issue. The work is complete when the MacroPad has a PlatformIO board definition that supports a working upload flow.
