Install Arduino Compatible ESP32 Core

While installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware as described in Install Support for Arduino Hardware, execute these commands to manually install the core for your Arduino compatible ESP32 hardware boards.

  1. On MATLAB® Command Window, execute this command to get Arduino command line interface (CLI) root path.

    cliPath = codertarget.arduinobase.internal.getArduinoIDERoot
    cliPath =

    'C:\aCLI\

  2. On your host terminal, change directory to the CLI path obtained from the above function call.

  3. Add the JSON file to the additional URLs for the Board Manager of the arduino-cli.yaml file. This file is located in the Arduino CLI root path.

    arduino-cli config set board_manager.additional_urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json --config-file "arduino-cli.yaml"

  4. Update index of ESP32 core to the latest version.

    arduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json --config-file "arduino-cli.yaml"

  5. Install ESP32 core.

    arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32@2.0.17 --config-file "arduino-cli.yaml"
