I am trying to prepare my Adrduino IDE for use of a adafruit M4 board. I tried following the guides to set up for Arduino but don't get to see any entries in the board manager when typing Adafruit SAMD. I found out that the
https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-boar ... index.json entry in the board url preference keeps getting deleted, ie, I add it in (observing commas between entries, etc) but next time I start up the IDE, its missing.

Re: Adafruit M4 setup for Arduino IDE
Is this with an Arduino IDE 2.x version? Or are you still using a pre 2.x version?

Re: Adafruit M4 setup for Arduino IDE
Are you adding it be editing the preferences file directly, or by changing the field in the Arduino IDE "preferences" panel? If the former, you have to make sure that the IDE is NOT open when you edit the file (the IDE essentially overwrites the file every time you exit, and only reads it when you start, so manual edits done while the IDE is open are lost.)I add it in (observing commas between entries, etc) but next time I start up the IDE, its missing.

Re: Adafruit M4 setup for Arduino IDE
I'm using IDE 1.8 (on a Windows 7 PC). I was adding the jason file in the preferences window. I have several other files already included.

Re: Adafruit M4 setup for Arduino IDE
There's nothing special about the SAMD URL. Should work just like any other BSP URL.
Maybe try adding via the dialog that can be accessed via this button:
