issue with third party boards from adafruit

[Nep-Soundfont]

Arduino bare minimum sketch fails to compile successfully on adafruit boards, most likely due to the board definition doesn't exist properly. if this can't be fixed, please make a circuitpython library for those with circuitpython boards like me.
anyway, the log usually states this:

 void setup(HardwareSerial &serial_ref = Serial, String deviceName = BOARD);

                                         ^

actually ive only tried the feather M0 Express board, i'm sure it's the same for other boards though

This library is not intended to be used with CircuitPython, but with normal Arduino IDE. We don't plan to implement support for this at the moment as we do not have hardware for testing, but if anyone is interested in doing this, we can reopen this ticket and accept the pull request.

like i said: i have errors with uploading the bare minimum sketch from the arduino IDE to an adafruit feather M0 express. contrary to that, i also tried an arduino uno and it works just fine, i'm getting compiler errors with a third party arduino compatible not listed in boardnames.h

this is what i get with the same board while compiling the bareminimum2 sketch

looks approximately the same, but it's different

We have fixed this issue in Minecraft Link for Arduino 1.1.0. The update in the library manager should be available soon.
