I get this error when trying to launch the esp exception decoder from the arduino IDE. I have compiled and uploaded many times to esp8266 boards, I have a standard installation IDE v1.8.5 on windows10 64b. I put the file in the correct directory. The option shows on the IDE menu but I get the error I am missing the file. FYI I also have esp32 installed and working. Can someone pleaae help me I posted an issue to github 2 months ago and no one responded thanks.
I got the same question. It seems happened for a while. When can this be fixed ? We are not be able to use old UI forever. Or is there a work around instead. If yes, please provide detail steps.
Here are people met same issues,
I saw a lot of persons met same issue, and someone says that download toolchains can fix this problem. Can anyone provide detail steps of how to install this toolchain? I also download that, but don't how to install this toolchain with arduion IDE ??
anyone ?
Finally, I found a walk around to launch on Windows7(64bit) + arduino 1.8.5 IDE. Here is the steps and link.
