Firebeetle esp 8266- error board manager

monag · July 20, 2021, 8:38am

Hello,

I am trying to install an ESP8266 from firebeetle : this one and i can't use it in order to develop a mini project.
The problem that i have is on board manager:

How can I handle this taking into consideration that using Generic ESP8266 board from arduino is not working?

I see in the instructions that there are two different Boards Manager URLs:

For domestic users: http://download.dfrobot.top/FireBeetle/package_firebeetle8266_index.json

For overseas users: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFRobot/FireBeetle-ESP8266/master/package_firebeetle8266_index.json

By "domestic", they mean China. So if you are located in China, try it again with that URL.

If that fails. try github and install manually

I've tried with both links and i have the same error. Also i've copied that .json:

and still no change.

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

Please do this:

Close all Arduino IDE windows.
Start the Arduino IDE. (this restart was done to get a blank console pane)
Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Attempt to install the firebeetle board platform just as you did before.
After the process fails, click the Close button.
Click on the black console pane at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
Press Ctrl+A to select all the text.
Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar. This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press Ctrl+V. This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the Reply button to post the output.

Ok, now please do the same, but this time using the other Boards Manager URL:
http://download.dfrobot.top/FireBeetle/package_firebeetle8266_index.json

Same, hundred of errors. Should I specify that i got this from my working computer, can it be anything blocked by administrators even if i have local admin rights?

pert · July 20, 2021, 12:01pm

Please post the output.

monag · July 20, 2021, 12:13pm

I've reinstalled the Arduino IDE, started all over again and put the link that you gave me and i got:

Error downloading http://download.dfrobot.top/FireBeetle/package_firebeetle8266_index.json
Error downloading https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json

pert · July 20, 2021, 12:24pm

Is that the full output from the black console window?

monag · July 20, 2021, 12:49pm

after reinstalling Arduino IDE, yes

pert · July 20, 2021, 1:10pm

Is your computer connected to the Internet? Is there anything that would block the Arduino IDE from accessing the Internet?

Can you open this URL in your web browser?
https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json

monag · July 20, 2021, 1:14pm

I'm connected to the internet, i can access the link you gave me.
