Hi there. I’m havning an issue with uploading to Arduino.

While choosing upload to Arduino, XOD recognize port that board is connected to, but no board model is installed. Also on list I cant find Uno or Nano boards.

I had similar problem with third party IDE, but there was no problem to indicate manually Arduino dependieces.

I was thinking that it’s no problem because I can copy code to Arduino IDE, but every time I’m want to test code I need to do this operation. It’s starting to be irritating.

Arduino IDE installed.  
System:

Win 7 Professional  
Intel Core i5-3239M  
8GB ram  
64-bit operatin system

How to install or choose directory to dependieces?

Hi  
**First** : add to C: \ Users \ user \ xod \ \_\_ packages\_\_ **extra.txt** line [http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package\_esp8266com\_index.json](http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json)

**Second** : accept the installation request and recompile

@marekbs

If you are using the latest XOD IDE `extra.txt` should already contain a link to esp8266 package index, so you need only to install package in the IDE without specifying any urls.

Also, by default, `extra.txt` contains an url to our fixed esp8266 package index, because the latest release of esp8266 (2.4.2) now contains a bug in the `platform.txt` (and they already fixed it, but did not released yet).

So we recommend to use our URL ( [https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.xod.io/packages/esp8266-2.4.3/package\_esp8266com\_index.json](https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.xod.io/packages/esp8266-2.4.3/package_esp8266com_index.json) ), instead of official package or you can get an error in uploading stage.

If you already installed official package and get a bug, just replace the URL with ours one and then click “Deploy -\> Upgrade Arduino Packages & Toolchains…”. You’ll see an available update to a new version (2.4.3).  
Just click the button and wait.

Yep, we also experienced this. On a first glance this looks like a temporary issue with arduino.cc, but we are investigating this further.

I’m experiencing this issue as well (Cannot update indexes). Looking forward to getting it figured out!

An emergency update of `arduino-cli` dependency is required. We are going to release a new hofix version (0.25.3) tomorrow.

I uninstalled XOD and installed version 0.25.3 and when I went to download and install the Arduino dependencies I got another error - a code 5

1. Choose arduino module
2. push Update button  
if no(…take place errors…)

Again  
3. **\<Deploy -\> Upload to arduino…\>**  
4. Choose arduino module, confirm port  
5. Click Update button  
6. Ok!

‘cesars’ good! You are right!!!

Ok set the processor to use old boot loader and every thing is working now, just impatience on my part I think. Tried again without using old boot loader got error massages again, guess I got an old bootloader nano.

Thanks for help.
