This error indicates something has gone wrong with a hardware package installed via Boards Manager. The solution is to remove the installed packages. Be aware this will remove any boards you have installed via Boards Manager:

  • (In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences
  • Click the link on the line following "More preferences can be edited directly in the file". This will open the Arduino15 (or similar name depending on OS) folder.
  • Delete all files and folders under the Arduino15 folder except for preferences.txt. Please be very careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!
  • Restart the Arduino IDE

Verify that you can now use your board before reinstalling any packages via Boards Manager.
