4 years ago Hi See attached images. I suspect it might be that I already have the ESP8266 board definition loaded, as I have been working with the Wemos devices.
"http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json"
I would like to work with both board definitions loaded, without having to delete and reload every time.
Many Thanks George Durant

4 years ago Hi I deleted my existing C:\Users\George\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266 folder then I could install and run the WIFI kit 8 and compile without any issues. But this limits the flexibility as I am working with both boards and I then need to change the definitions every time I swap boards. My solution in the mean time is to use the standard esp8266 libraries and select nodeMCU.

4 years ago I get the same error as Flash1704. All I did was install the board and libraries following the directions right from here: https://heltec.org/wifi_kit_install/ (board manager not git)
And I get these warnings any time I open board manager or libaries manager. I have not even tried to compile any code yet.

I mean, I'm only following the directions on the heltec web site to the letter. The directions are pretty short and simple, not much opportunity to get anything wrong.
I'm on ubuntu not Windows.

4 years ago I cleaned out all references to the prior install, meaning I removed the previous heltec-esp8266 url from Preferences and manually deleted the directories: ~/Arduino/libraries/Heltec_ESP8266_Dev-Boards (library) ~/.arduino15/packages/heltec-esp8266/ (board)
After that, no more errors, and no hint of any heltec 8266 support in the menus. So, clean slate.
Then I added that url in Preferences and re-installed the library and board support. https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp8266_index.json
Same errors again:
Index error: could not find referenced tool name=esptool version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266 Index error: could not find referenced tool name=xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266 Index error: could not find referenced tool name=mkspiffs version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266 Index error: could not find referenced tool name=esptool version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266 Index error: could not find referenced tool name=xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266 Index error: could not find referenced tool name=mkspiffs version=2.5.0-3-20ed2b9 packager=Heltec-esp8266
Also during install for the board support (not libraries) I saw: Warning: file /home/bkw/.arduino15/packages/heltec-esp8266/tools/python3/3.7.2-post1/python3 links to an absolute path /usr/bin/python3
Not great but not the worst crime in the world. Please excuse a small digression into esp32 even though this is about esp8266, I also have the esp32 support installed for Heltec wifi-kit-32 and while using that I was getting "python not found in $PATH" which is fixed (on Ubuntu) by "apt install python-is-python3"
Both of theses, esp8266 and esp32 support packages should just have install directions that include the requirement to install python3, and for Ubuntu specifically it would need "python-is-python3" which installs a symlink so that running "python" gets python3 instead of python2, (or the code should ask for python3 instead of python), not assume absolute path, and not omit any mention in the directions. But that's a smaller thing and more or less fixable by the user.
I have no idea what to do about these "could not find referenced tool" errors.

4 years ago Compiling a sketch actually works.
So maybe it's just cosmetic and we can just ignore the messages while in library manager or board manager?
I just compiled and flashed the WiFi_Kit_8_FactoryTest example sketch and it worked. It compiled,flashed, and is running on the board.
I know it actually updated the board because I had previously flashed Zimodem to the board using the generic esp8266 support from here: http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json https://github.com/bozimmerman/Zimodem (which worked, the code doesn't support this board without changes for different pin#s and Serial hardware, but it loads and runs.) That sketch does not have any support for the oled so the oled is blank and there are debug messages on the usb serial. This tells me I definitely replaced the factory sketch.
And from there I switched back to Tools -> Board -> Wifi-Kit-8, and built the WiFi_Kit_8_FactoryTest sketch, and now the oled screen is showing the wifi scan messages from that sketch.
The build messages show that it's loading files from the Heltec 8266 support directories, not the generic 8266 support directories:

I have no idea what to do about these "could not find referenced tool" errors.
The issue appears to be that there are packager entries are "Heltec-esp8266" with an uppercase "H", the name entry in entry at line 4 is lowercase "H". I put a test version of an edited JSON file on a website and changed the URL to point to my test JSON file and I received no errors!
Here's an example of what a fixed entry looks like:
"toolsDependencies": [
{
"packager": "heltec-esp8266",
"version": "2.5.0-3-20ed2b9",
"name": "esptool"
