Anything special about your network setup? VPN? Corporate network?
Using a corporate laptop?

there is npcap about my network.But now I can install the board library "Seeed nRF52 mbed-enabled Boards by Seeed Studio "expect "Seeed nRF52 Boards by Seeed Studio Version 1.1.10".This is why?

That is, to my knowledge, related to Wireshark and should not interfere.

Can you now install? Or is the question how you can install?

What is the additional board URL that you have in file → preferences? That way I can try to reproduce your error.

Which operating system?

The URL (last line of your error) does exist; checked by accessing it from a browser.

Sorry, I may not have expressed it clearly, I mean I can't install "Seeed nRF52 Boards by Seeed Studio Version 1.1.10", but I was able to install "Seeed nRF52 mbed-enabled Boards by Seeed Studio ".My operating system is Windows,my URL is http://files.seeedstudio.com/arduino/package_seeeduino_boards_index.json

OK, I just tried it and I did not experience a problem.

I can't really help you further. Maybe there was a network glitch somewhere; did you retry?

I have retried,Maybe Version issues of Arduino?.Can you tell me your arduino versions?

IDE version 2.3.6

Probably.

After including:

  • https://files.seeedstudio.com/arduino/package_seeeduino_boards_index.json

IDE tried to include dependent file:

  • https://github.com/adafruit/arduino-board-index/releases/download/build-tools/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-win32.zip.

However, it is highly likely that the download did not complete within the specified time.

I'm sure there was a setting to extend the download timeout period, but I can't remember what it was :sweat_smile:

10

I want to download it offline，are there any methods?

11

It is described here:

However, in my experience a timeout resulting from that mechanism produces an error message with a different form:

compare that to the error message @ttrrss encountered:

12

@ptillisch, Thanks for clarifying the error message when a timeout occurs.
As @sterretje pointed out, it's probably a good idea to check connection with a browser in such a case.

@ttrrss,

If you open the JSON file in your browser, you'll see a long list of download URLs for Seeed product platforms and related toolchains.

I doubt it would be possible to manually extract only the necessary files and install them in your IDE :roll_eyes:

Do you have access to another PC with the IDE installed and same operating system? If so, you can install the board package there and next copy it to a memory stick and take that to the problematic PC and copy it.

The board package is installed in C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\Seeeduino.
