Can't get ESP32 working with Arduino IDE on macOS Big Sur: xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error

[wouterds]

I keep getting this when trying to install a program to my Wemos Lolin32 Lite ESP32 development board on macOS Big Sur with latest version of the Arduino IDE. It works however on an older macOS device.

Console output:

xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error: Lite: No such file or directory
xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error: Lite": No such file or directory
exit status 1
Error compiling for board WEMOS LOLIN32 Lite.

System: macOS Big Sur 11.2.2
Arduino IDE: 1.8.13
arduino-esp32: 1.0.5

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download Arduino IDE
2. Install Arduino IDE app
3. Add ESP32 to boards manager
4. Install ESP32 boards
5. Select board type & serial port
6. Try to write basic blink program to board

Anyone that got it working on macOS Big Sur? Am I missing something?

(I recorded above steps to reproduce in case anyone could help out by just watching me do it https://youtu.be/IsvjP5e27ZQ)

Some extra information of my other machine where this is still working:

System: macOS Catalina 10.15.5
Arduino IDE: 1.8.13
arduino-esp32: 1.0.4

There is an issue in the 1.0.5 boards.txt (as well as the master) with this device. There is a space in the lolin32-lite.build.board setting.

lolin32-lite.build.board=LOLIN32 Lite

should be changed to something without a space, like

lolin32-lite.build.board=LOLIN32_Lite

I submitted PR 4885 to correct this.

I can confirm that works, can we please release 1.0.6 with this fix? 🙏

Looks like this was included in release 1.0.6 (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/tag/1.0.6). @wouterds Can you confirm 1.0.6 works as expected then close the ticket?
