Arduino boards manager error while installing the ESP32 boards definitions.

[kowshik1729]

Hello,
How can I manually add a new Board to my Arduino IDE? I downloaded the zip file of ESP32 Core for arduino and now I want to install this library MANUALLY. Please guide me..!!

I'm trying to install ESP32 Core for arduino. I have tried pasting this https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_dev_index.json URL in preferences of Arduino IDE. Then when I tried opening Boards Manager, IDE was throwing me an error as shown below

So, I'm trying for a way to manually install the Core of ESP32 for arduino. I got the github repo of Espressif from this link

Hi @kowshik1729 ,

Arduino IDE need internet connection to download tha packages and the error looks like it can't able do that so make sure that you have internet connection on your computer . Also check that you are using Arduino IDE at the 1.8 level or later .

@salmanfaris
Thanks for the reply. I am using a stable internet connection and made sure of it. But the issue is not it, according to the internet researches I found that the license certification of the package site https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_dev_index.json was expired as of 23rd Septmeber. So, no one will be able to ping the site until it's certification is renewed. I hope it'll be fixed ASAP.

@kowshik1729, Thanks for the information and you are correct the TLS certificate on dl.espressif.com expired.

JSON file only for indexing the Different ESP32 boards, so I just move the JSON to my Github repo for an experimental hack, try it and let me know the status

Hi @kowshik1729,

Espressif renewed the certificate today, so try to the official ESP32 Board definition URL to download Board definition.

URL: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_dev_index.json

Happy hacking .
