Manage the Arduino ESP32 boards

The Arduino ESP32 platform includes the Arduino Nano ESP32 board.

Although also supported by the Espressif platform, the Arduino Nano ESP32 board uses a specific protocol for upload.

Install

To install the Arduino ESP32 boards,

To install the Arduino SAM boards,

  • Ensure Arduino-CLI is installed.

  • Open a Terminal window.

  • Run

$
arduino-cli core install arduino:esp32

Upload with dfu-util

The Arduino Nano ESP32 uses a specific uploader.

On Linux, the device table needs to be updated.

  • Launch
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-arduino.rules
  • Add the following line.
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0666"
  • Reload the devices table.
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
