[hex705]

same issue osx 10.13.6 high sierra

[mdxtinkernick]

Similar issue, but names are not populated until Arduino AVR boards are reached, and all boards after that display name entry

[rei-vilo]

The issue is still there on Alpha 0.0.2.

[mastrolinux]

Adding more context:
Extra info are not displayed if a compatible core is not installed.

[rei-vilo]

But Arduino UNO board is not available after installation "Arduino AVR boards". See #69

[kittaakos]

How can I reproduce it? Do I have to use an additional board manager URL or do I have to install a core manually? Thanks!

@rei-vilo, @hex705, do you have arduino-cli on the PATH? If so, what version does it have?

Update: I used this link to extract the 3rd party URLs: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Unofficial-list-of-3rd-party-boards-support-urls

[kittaakos]

Can I get some feedback from anyone, please? How can I reproduce the defect?

CC: @mastrolinux

[hex705]

sorry for delay - here is my context.

i am on osx 10.13.6
arduino-cli is on my path -- version 0.6.0
downloaded arduino-pro 2.0 with all other versions of pro deleted -- not sure what a clean install procedure would be -- from here:
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-pro-ide/releases

reading the thread I realized --

i have a version of Arduino 1.8.10 also installed on my machine with following url based boards added on:
https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json,
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json,
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lauszus/Sanguino/master/package_lauszus_sanguino_index.json

I also have a manually added avr board in --> Arduino/hardware/ folder
When I open arduino-pro-ide in pro mode and open board manager I get same behaviour as @mdxtinkernick above (oct 20).

The boards that do not have dev info in the pro-ide board menu seem to match the manual add-on (hardware folder) and the URLs I have added to my regular Arduino install. When I scroll down I do get to Arduino boards with developer and other info included.

I am guessing that there is a some incomplete cross-over of platforms ?

hope this helps.

[kittaakos]

Thank you, @hex705!

I also have a manually added avr board

How can I do the same?

in --> Arduino/hardware/ folder

Did you mean ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware?

[masci]

in --> Arduino/hardware/ folder

Did you mean ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware?

Hardware can live within the sketchbook folder, so for OSX that would be ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware
