Hi @russell_roberts. Thanks for your report.

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Copy the contents of the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field.
  3. Paste the copied text in a reply here.

Please also tell me exactly which version of the ESP32 boards platform you are trying to install (e.g., 2.0.4).

This information will allow me to investigate the problem.

I'm glad you were finally successful with the installation!

Support was added for three new microcontrollers to the ESP32 boards platform since the 1.x version series:

  • ESP32-S2
  • ESP32-S3
  • ESP32-C3

Each of these have their own compiler toolchain, which must be installed in addition to the "xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc" of the original ESP32 microcontroller. That alone has added ~1.2 GB to the size of the installation. So you will find that the installation time is increased significantly when compared to the 1.x versions.
