Arduino not parsing M5Stack package index

[Kryten]

Are anyone else experiencing this issue?

Skipping contributed index file C:\Users\karlk\Documents\ArduinoData\package_m5stack_index.json, parsing error occured:
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unrecognized token 'https': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')

I'm having the same problem :(
I can only install from the terminal script.

Hi, sorry about this. The arduino IDE Borads Manager support is not well.
You try this way to install:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack#m5stack-library

I have tried the instructions for Mac here:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/mac.md

The m5stack still does not show up in Tools > Board > Boards Manager so I can install the M5Stack-Core-ESP32 board.

I'm on a Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2016), running OSX Sierra 10.12.6. Arduino IDE version is 1.8.5. I tried the latest Silicon Labs VCP driver and the legacy v4 driver.

Any ideas?

I just wanted to update that I finally got it working.

I uninstalled v4 of the Silicon Labs VCP driver (using the uninstaller.sh script from the zip file below). Then installed the latest driver from this file:
https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/Mac_OSX_VCP_Driver.zip
I did not install the legacy driver. I used "Silicon Labs VCP Driver.pkg" from the main directory of the zip file.

Next, I had to do a fresh install of the Arduino IDE 1.8.5, then followed the same instructions here: https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/mac.md

After I restarted the Arduino IDE, I now saw the M5Stack-Core-ESP32 listed under the Tools > Boards > ESP32 Arduino menu. No need to do anything with the Boards Manager.
