Describe the problem

When installing the mbed_portenta core, an error message is displated regarding the ESP8266 having malformed custom board options. Does not noticablely affect the operation with a Portenta board otherwise.

To reproduce

  1. Open Windows PowerShell (non-adminsistrator)
  2. Provide permissions for the Scoop installer Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
  3. Install the latest arduino IDE via scoop scoop install arduino-cli (in this case, 0.27.0)
  4. Update the CLI index then install the mbed_portenta core arduino-cli core install arduino:mbed_portenta
  5. The following message is displayed
Downloading missing tool builtin:[email protected]...
builtin:[email protected] downloaded
Installing builtin:[email protected]...
builtin:[email protected] installed
Error initializing instance: Error loading hardware platform: loading platform release esp8266:[email protected]: loading boards: skipping loading of boards esp8266:esp8266:espduino: malformed custom board options
Error initializing instance: Error loading hardware platform: loading platform release esp8266:[email protected]: loading boards: skipping loading of boards esp8266:esp8266:espduino: malformed custom board options

Expected behavior

No messages about the ESP8266 would show up.

Arduino CLI version

0.27.0

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

Windows 10

Additional context

No response

Hi @aliphys. As reported by Arduino CLI, there is a problem with the version of the ESP8266 boards platform you have installed.

That problem was fixed last year, so you must have an outdated version of the platform installed on your computer:

esp8266/Arduino#8153

You will no longer get the error if you update to esp8266:[email protected]
