Description
I recently purchased a Arducam ESP8266 module, and it only has support for the Arduino Text-editor+macro button build system "IDE". It also appears to not exist in the platformio framework (not surprising, it's new and kind of esoteric.
Anyways, I was wondering if it would be possible for platformio to parse either the arduino compatible "index.json", or the various metadata files in the underlying github repository. It seems like it should be possible to infer the required configuration from these files to build a binary for the board, but that could be me being naive.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Arduino index.json and the ArduCAM ESP8266 repository metadata to determine what board and build settings they provide. Compare those requirements with PlatformIO's existing Arduino board support; done would mean the module can be configured and built through PlatformIO, with the required parsing behavior and coverage identified.
