#1

If I can not use the "Card Manager" tool the following message written in the dialog window.

Arduino:1.8.9 Hourly Build 2019/02/04 10:33 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

What is the solution for me to use?

  • Open the folder C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Arduino15. That is under a system folder AppData, which Windows Explorer might try to hide from you unless you set it to show hidden items in the settings.
  • Delete any files named package_index.json, package_index.json.sig, and package_index.json.sig.tmp.
  • Now try opening Boards Manager again. It will download fresh copies of the files and hopefully the problem will be solved.
