Board Manager not showing esp32 to install

[usmanshahid001]

hi i updated this link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json. in preferences of Arduino IDE but now esp32 is not showing in list when i open board manager.however i tried this link : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jantje/arduino-esp32/master/package/package_Espressif_esp32_index.json and esp32 is showing but only version 1.01

Try this one:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_dev_index.json

[me-no-dev]

don't ... we are trying to move away from dl.espressif.com. the json is hosted on github, if that is down.... the package is down as well

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json this link works fine for me and shows all version (1.0.4 included)

Hi Me-no-dev,

The provided link is down:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json

Why is it always down ?
Is it down on purpose for any reason?
Is there any problem on using the one from dl.espressif.com ?

See below the one installed from dl.expressif and how both from github produced download errors.

Regards, Ramon.

@jramonlab try this: https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_dev_index.json
or: https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json

have no idea what to tell you.. link is working fine here. It's hosted on github. Maybe check your internet? What happens when you try to open it in a browser?

[atanisoft]

@me-no-dev the above link is a better link to use and will work more reliably since it is cached via CDN.

It does not load on a browser.

@jramonlab try this: https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_dev_index.json
or: https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json

The first link (dev) is loaded ok in the browser, the second one is not .

The first link is loaded ok in the browser, the second one (dev) is not .

In that case use the one of those that does work. It is the same as the raw link that @me-no-dev suggested BUT it sits behind a CDN with cache. Very likely your system is unable to reach the raw link due to a device blocking connections to it somewhere between your system and the GitHub backend servers.

Can we promote the boards manager link to not use the raw content url, and to use the github pages version instead to benefit from CDN and avoid throttling. My arduino ide v2 is always stalling getting the esp32 package list using the raw url. I've switched now to the github.io version and it flys along with no delay/pausing.

TLDR: (update docs page https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html#installing-using-arduino-ide to use github.io pages link instead of rawcontent.github.com)

Hello @tyeth,

Thanks for your comment.

what do you think @pedrominatel?

Guys, I'm new to IoT can anyone help me with this?
I'm actually trying to install the esp32 board manager on the Arduino IDE software with all these links what am I supposed to do to get the esp32 installed on my PC?

@Sahil-Kashyap-in
Best place to start is the docs!
Here's the specific page to add the esp32 board support packages to the arduino IDE for your reference:

Thank you @tyeth I actually figured it out by adding the links on the Arduino IDE, btw thanks for the documentation link !
