Hey, I am trying to add a new costum board to the editor while using a eps32-s3. Therefore I tried to copy the existing pxt-maker lib ‘espressif-esp32-devkit-c’ and there I need to update the pxt.json file. In this pxt.json file there is a section `compilerServiceVariant` that needs to be updated from ‘esp32’ to ‘esp32s3’. What worries me is that I obviously have to change the following dependencies too:  
_“dependencies”: {_

- 

```
   "core---esp32": "file:../core---esp32",*

```

- 

```
   "settings---esp32": "file:../settings---esp32",*

```

- 

```
   "wifi---esp32": "file:../wifi---esp32"*

```

- },\*

But how am I supposed to do that? I could not find any documention on how to generate or replicate such core oder settings lib since those also include a path to node\_modules\pxt-common-packages\libs where again some more files exist that probably need to be adjusted.

Does anybody have an idea where I can find any information about how to adjust all this data or if there already exists a solution for the esp32s3.

Thank you in advance,  
Saskia

It looks like the [Maker version](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-maker/pulls) has just been abandoned, so I guess the answer is no.
