Uno WiFi rev2 with desktop IDE

Hi I've given up with web IDE and I'm now trying with the desktop IDE (1.8.8).
I run Win 10 in work where I cant get the Boards Manager to work. See attachment.

My Uno WiFi rev2 is not present in the list which is the reason I need to use the board manager to download the package. It works fine on my PC at home.

I got a feeling that it's a firewall or similar issue. But adding the .exe to windows firewall exeptions does not solve it. The PC also run McAfee but I have no privileges to fiddle with it.

Any ideas?

Forgot the file...

Please do this:

  • Restart the Arduino IDE
  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • After you get the error, click "Close".
  • Click on the black console window at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window
  • Press Ctrl+A to select all
  • Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard
  • Paste the copied text in a reply here, using code tags (</> button on the toolbar). If the text exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, you can save the copied text to a text file and then attach it here. After clicking the "Reply" button, you will see an "Attachments and other settings" link that will allow you to attach files.

The wifi REV 2 is IIRC a different board package.

Open TOOLS, BOARD, BOARD MANAGER.

Now in the box type "rev2"

That is the package you need to be able to use that board.

Let it download and when it has done restart the IDE.

You should now be able to see it in your list and the EXAMPLES for the board will also be added to examples.

Below is the error message

I have now managed to downloaded the packages by bypassing the company network by connecting my PC to my phone's wifi hotspot instead.
So it seems to be a firewall or antivirus issue preventing me from downloading.
