Arduino Support for Flutter Pro

[MikeOnBike]

So I guess this is a NOOB question even though I have some Arduino under my belt. Flutter Basic is the only board available in the IDE. Flutter Pro has twice the memory but when I compile/upload it only references the Basic amount of memory. I haven't contrived a much larger program to test it but will the IDE fail to compile or upload if the compiled code exceeds the Basic memory limits? Do we need a board definition for the Pro?

My guess is guess. Just looked at the boards.txt file and looks like the following could be added to the file with any serious damage (haven't tested it tough):

flutter_r2.name=Flutter Pro
flutter_r2.vid.0=0x2341
flutter_r2.pid.0=0x003e
flutter_r2.serial.0=0x5

Just tested the changes to make a config for the PRO board. Change your boards.txt file to:
menu.cpu=Processor
