ESP WROOM 32 / Arduino-Boardmanager / Firmware

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hi,
I'm struggling to upload firmware to an ESP WROOM 32 developmentboard. I'm trying to install FireBeetle-ESP32-Mainboard. In preferences I inserted https://git.oschina.net/dfrobot/FireBeetle-ESP32/raw/master/package_esp32_index.json. Whenever I press the install-bottun in board-manager-menu to install 0.0.7 the only message I get is "Downloading boards definitions" (arduino 1.6.5) or "CRC is not ok. File is damaged" (arduino 1.6.7).
What am I doing wrong. Is there another way get achieved on WINDOWS 7.
Many thanks.

If you have a DFRobot Firebeetle, have you contacted them, they ought to be able to support their own products.

Try this:

  • Click the link at the line following File > Preferences > More preferences can be edited directly in the file.
  • Delete the staging folder.
  • Try the installation again.

The ESP32 core for Arduino is under active development. It's unclear how well maintained the DFRobots hardware package is. Although the installation is not quite so easy, you might consider using the official Espressif ESP32 core for Arduino instead of the DRrobot FireBeetle package:

It does have a FireBeetle ESP32 board definition if that's what you actually have.

Deleting file Trying again is failing.

But: the second instruction is working fine !!

Thank you a lot
