VENDOR_ID and CORE_ID ?

Hi - I'm trying to make a custom board specification based on MegaCoreX. Sorry, I'm sure this isn't an 'issue' with MegaCoreX, but it is with my understanding!
If I understand right from:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.32/platform-specification/
(most of the way down, under the header " Referencing another core, variant or tool")
I should be able to just use a board specification and use .build.core to reference MegaCoreX for the rest.
I'm struggling to actually link to MegaCoreX. I think it may be that I don't know what to put for the VENDOR_ID and CORE_ID.
I currently have
cadalogger.build.core=MCUdude:MegaCoreX
but that is a bit of a guess.
This is my first attempt at a board specification, and with many false starts I seem to be getting my .json file recognised and it is linking to my .zip archive and thinks it is installing successfully, but on compiling I get
FQBN: cadalogger:avr:cadalogger
Using board 'cadalogger' from platform in folder: /Users/mbm5/Library/Arduino15/packages/cadalogger/hardware/avr/0.0.2
Using core 'coreX-corefiles' from platform in folder: /Users/mbm5/Library/Arduino15/packages/cadalogger/hardware/avr/0.0.2
Detecting libraries used...
recipe.preproc.macros pattern is missing
Compilation error: recipe.preproc.macros pattern is missing
So, I think I am somwhat linking to MegaCoreX, but somehow it is expecting it as part of my package, rather than referring to my installation of MegaCoreX? Could this be a matter of me having VENDOR_ID and CORE_ID wrong? Or is there something else I may be doing wrong?
(n.b., I also don't have any programmer options in the tools menu, which I was hoping would come thorugh courtesy of MegaCoreX)
Help massively appreciated!!

Hi @mbmorrissey
I currently have
cadalogger.build.core=MCUdude:MegaCoreX
It should be:
cadalogger.build.core=MegaCoreX:coreX-corefiles
"VENDOR_ID" is set by the folder name where the referenced platform is installed. If you installed it via Boards Manager, then the folder name is set by the value of the packages[*].name key of the package index file:
If you installed the platform manually then you might have chosen any arbitrary folder name to install it under (e.g., MegaCoreX-master).
"CORE_ID" is set by the folder name of the core:
https://github.com/MCUdude/MegaCoreX/tree/master/megaavr/cores/coreX-corefiles
I also don't have any programmer options in the tools menu, which I was hoping would come thorugh courtesy of MegaCoreX
They will:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/platform-specification/#core-reference
The programmers from the referenced platform are made available

Thanks! I'll try it now.

That was a massive help, thanks. Not quite there, but a lot of progress! With your advice and a couple of more rounds of trial and error, I quite clearly have it talking to my installation of MegaCoreX! It now makes much more progress toward compiling, and the programmer options show now too.
Now, when compiling a blank program (which works if I select MegaCoreX in 'tools'), when I try to use my board

If the 32pin-standard variant is in MegaCoreX then you need to reference it:
cadalogger.pinout.32pin_standard.build.variant=MegaCoreX:32pin-standard

Again, thanks! Will give it a try...

Now I've broken it! It won't install:
Downloading packages
cadalogger:megaavr@0.0.6
Installing platform cadalogger:megaavr@0.0.6
Failed to install platform: cadalogger:megaavr.
Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install platform: installing platform cadalogger:megaavr@0.0.6: searching package root dir: no unique root dir in archive, found '/Users/mbm5/Library/Arduino15/tmp/package-781919629/__MACOSX' and '/Users/mbm5/Library/Arduino15/tmp/package-781919629/hardware'
Probably healthy to take a break before coming back and grinding my way through this.
Thanks for stepping me through things that are in the platform specification documentation - I've been pouring through it for the last couple of days, and have made some progress using it, but also I'm finding it rather terse for a non-specialist to fully understand.
Again, thanks.
mbmorrissey commented
OK, I've at least corrected the last issue (an OS specific thing of adding files to zip archives).
However, the pins issue is not fixed.

Hi again. I'm still a bit stuck. But the issue that I opened is solved, so I'll close this thread, and if I can't figure it out with another day of trial and error, I'll open a new thread more directly about what's outstanding.
Thanks so much for the insightful help yesterday.
