As far as I know, you need to install the boards package. Same way as with the older IDE 1.x in case you're familiar with that.

Not behind a PC at the moment to check what the url for the json file is.

No, that doesnt work.
In the goodol days you could just add the needed files in the hardware folder, but I cnt even find a hardwarefolder anymore …..

In the IDE

  1. Under file->preferences, add the board package URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dbuezas/lgt8fx/master/package_lgt8fx_index.json and click OK
  2. Go to the boards manager and find
    image
    3)Click Install

I don't use those boards but it was installed for some trouble shooting.

You can still manually install boards platforms.

From your statement, I guess you are accustomed to adding them to the hardware subfolder of the Arduino IDE installation folder. Even though it did work with Arduino IDE 1.x, that was not the correct way to do it even with Arduino IDE 1.x.

The correct way to manually install boards platforms in both Arduino IDE 1.x and 2.x is to add them to the hardware subfolder of your sketchbook folder. This is a much better approach than tampering with the IDE installation because it means your installation will persist through IDE updates.

If you give it a try, please let me know if you have any questions or problems.

But I second @sterretje's advice about using Boards Manager. This is the most convenient way to install and update boards platforms. I have used the specific platform @sterretje recommended with success (though I don't have a lot of experience with that Logic Green chip).
