Can't find esp32 boards for arduino IDE

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I want to use a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 but can't find updates for it in the IDE.
When I go into the boards list to download the ESP32 boards, I find nothing, I go into the library and do not find anything on ESP32. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You will need to add an URL to the additional board urls in file/preferences.

Which URL that is depends on the board; the Seeed site should give you the information.

Getting Started with Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 | Seeed Studio Wiki has the link and instructions. Note that the screenshot is for IDE 1.x

PS Which version of the IDE are you using?

I have been on that page. The link does not work. I put it in the box, then restarted, and then went to boards and it does not find anything on esp32

OK

Try https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json as the additional URL. Should work, I have the Espressif board package installed that way,

Also you will need to install some drivers for usiing ESP32 use this link: CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs
