Arduino IDE – Install ESP32 Support via Board Manager

May 1st, 2019 10:55 AM | by Alfred Markus Paar | Posted in Elektronik

Arduino IDE (1.8.9 in my case) needs to be installed

Check if there is a manual installation present
1. Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Arduino and check if there is the following structure
  - hardware/espressif/esp32
2. Delete the esp32 folder
  1. If there is no other folder beside esp32, delete also the parent espressif

Configure Board Manager and install
1. Start Arduino IDE
2. Edit>Preferences
  1. Click on the button near the field Additional Board Manager URLs
  2. Type in: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json
3. Tools>Board>BoardManager
  1. Search for ESP32 and install esp32 by Espressif Systems

Check installation
1. Check if the boards are available in Tools>Board
2. Select the correct board (ESP32 Dev Module in my case)
3. Connect the board (driver)
4. Select the right Port in Tools>Port and try to get borad info: Tool>GetBoardInfo
5. Try to upload some sample code
6. Check out the console if compile and upload works, something like this should appear at the end
