Continuing the discussion from Port is not detected in Arduino IDE for esp32:
same thing here. all 3 RPi 4s and the RPi3 stopped working on the same day. The ESP32 board manager dropped off the list on all 4 computers.
By "same thing", do you mean that "NO PORTS DISCOVERED" is shown under the "PORTS" section of Arduino IDE's "Select Other Board and Port" dialog, as was shown in the screenshot shared by @pravinchaudhari?:
By "the list", do you mean Arduino IDE's Tools > Board menu, or do you mean the list of boards platforms shown in the Boards Manager interface?:

On Windows 11: "not connected. Select a board and a port to connect automatically" in an orange ribbon on the bottom of the editor.
Select a Board works when you successfully guess Lilygo LoRa32-OLED is your board. It would be a good thing to alphabetize that jumbled up list.
Tools >> Port: COM3 is grayed out, blank black screen when Serial Monitor is selected . no other port option appears.
Raspberry Pi 4: TTGO T3 V1.6 shows up as an Arduino Yun. Opening Tools >> Board >> shows a list of Arduino Boards, no link to esp boards, and a link to Boards Manager. Clicking on Boards Manager provides a list of board managers. esp32 is in the list but does not show esp32 3.2.0 installed. I had something in there before, and it worked for years, but apparently it changed while I was indisposed.
Windows 11: The ESP32 manager showed up when I reloaded the ESP32 3.2.0 Board Manager at a site with 60 MHz download speed. but it does not lead to a connection.

My boards are about 50 percent AMA0 and 50 percent ACM0
I can't shlep my RPis to a place with high speed internet, and my home connection is 600k on a good day. They apparently time out before they load, and they apparently have to start from zero every time you try.
Valid criticism in IDE1 but not IDE2, just use the search box as in TTGO
Maybe I am learning something, since when were Raspberry Pi 4 boards supported by Arduino IDE?
Please try this troubleshooting procedure and then report the results:
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
- Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
- Open the Windows Device Manager.
- Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
- Open the "View" menu.
- If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
- Take note of the contents of the "Other devices" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" sections of the Device Manager tree.
- Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
- Select Action > Scan for hardware changes" from the Device Manager menus.
Now please reply here on this forum topic with the answers to the following questions:
- Did you see any new device appear in the Device Manager tree after following those instructions?
- If you did see a new device, where is it located in the tree, and what is it named?
You can repeat steps 5-8 multiple times if you are not sure.
The order of the boards list under each submenu of the Tools > Board menu is defined by the developers of that platform. This gives them the ability to make logical groupings (e.g., placing related boards together in the menu), and ordering (e.g., placing the most common boards at the top of the list, and the least common boards last).
So if you would like to propose alphabetization of the list, that must be requested of the developers of the 3rd party "esp32" boards platform. You can do that by submitting an issue to the tracker in the platform's GitHub repository, or even better submit a pull request for the necessary changes.
I see this was previously proposed:
Although it was closed by the developers without cause, they actually seemed to be quite receptive to the proposal so I think it would be worth another try.
I'm not sure I understood correctly what you mean by this. Please provide a more detailed description of what you mean to help us to understand it.
It would be difficult to determine what caused this without some more investigation. My recommendation is to just install the platform again via Boards Manager.

What were you doing when you encountered this "time out"?
Did you see a notification, warning, or error message when it occurred? If so, please provide the full and exact text of the message.
To be clear, in this case the Raspberry Pi 4 SBC is the host computer on which the Arduino IDE application is running, not the target board.
The Arduino company provides official builds of Arduino IDE 1.x for the "Linux ARM" architecture of the Raspberry Pi hosts. They are available for download from the "Software" page. The Arduino company does not currently provide Linux ARM builds of Arduino IDE 2.x, but some community members have produced such builds (one here) and it is also possible to build it yourself from source (see the discussion here).
As for Raspberry Pi SBCs as a target board, a community member did create an Arduino boards platform for this purpose:
How in blue blazes did I miss that. Maybe the OP can help me, I can't get my Pi to run the IDE after following all the instructions very carefully.
As @ptillish mentioned I was able to get it to work on a Raspberry PI 5 and I later on
an RPI 4 as well.
The instructions, of what I did was contained within the thread mentioned:
I did update it a while ago, still not completely up to date, probably swill sone.
Note: I don't have ESP32 boards installed currently as I am not currently doing stuff on them
Have done some: MBED, Zephyr and Teensy stuff as you can see by the boards I have installed.
the Raspberry Pi supports the IDE
I see a red text notice the next morning that it failed to load some component.
The esp32 boards are installed automatically along with the AVR boards.
I just downloaded the Appimage
I can manually run it but can't get the menu updated, it says invalid desktop file or similar.
The next time you see it, post the text here and we'll provide assistance.
