Return to Question

I have made a custom development-hardware for our school, where you can plug in an Arduino Due. It is mainly for driving all kind of motors and reading sensor signals. Therefore I added a custom SAM board into board.h based on a copy of the Arduino Due. Furthermore I need a global PWM Frequency on all PWM Channels of 20 kHz. So I also changed the variants.h file.

(I have not found a solution that is setting all the underling Timer/Counters for PWM on the Due Pins 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,13 to 20kHz by user code, I think this is only possible with the variants.h file - because some timers can not be reset after they where set within the arudino IDE once)

The Question now: Today all students have to find and modify their variants.h file which can be located almost everywhere! (Sometimes it is located in the support packages of Matlab...).

Is there an easy solution to give the students one .zip containing the Arduino IDE already with the custom Board included? There is the Arduino IDE working without installation for download on the Arduino Webseite. But how can I add my custom sam board to it?
