I'm happy to release a new version of B4R. This update adds support for the latest version of Arduino IDE.
It is also the first 64 bit version of B4R.

Download link: https://www.b4x.com/b4r.html

Installation instructions:
  1. Install latest version of Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
  2. Install Arduino CLI (command line interface): https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_latest_Windows_64bit.msi
  3. B4R - Tools - Configure Paths: configure the path to arduino-cli.exe and javac. Java 8+ is supported.
  4. Open the board manager and select the board.

Thanks for the update.
The separate installation of Arduino-CLI is no longer necessary from IDE 2.x.
The arduino-cli.exe is already present in the subdirectory "...\Arduino IDE\resources\app\lib\backend\resources".

Hi Erel, I had to uninstall everything and go back to the previous version,
You are not using the beta version, right?
I downloaded and installed all the files on the first post of this thread.

let me install again and I will upload the screenshot and logs.

This message is displayed only if there is no board information downloaded in Arduino IDE. Once you download the boards Arduino/ESP32/ESP8266/STM32 , the message is no longer displayed.

1. Can you post a screenshot?
2. Please enable IDE logs as explained here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/intermittent-error-message.9047/post-50478
See if there is more information there.

You are not using the beta version, right?
Hi @Erel, Today I have reintalled the new version and it is working now.

@rbghongade yes probably was that, I remember that I have installed the new version of arduino IDE and the board information was not there.

Thank you both for your help.

Hi
I installed B4R ver 4.00
sometimes board selector window does not work right and dont show Arduino boards list for select.(It shows the list as empty)
so I must reinstall B4R ver 39.0.0 and use together.

You are obviously doing something 100% incorrectly. I take it that you've added the .json extensions for adding more boards, and that you've checked the board manager for the latest Arduino IDE

Have you followed Erel's instructions to the letter, as B4R V4.0 works 100% perfect for me and it includes all the boards that are listed in the Arduino IDE

Reaf Erel's instructions carefully below and give it another go.

Installation instructions:
  1. Install latest version of Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
  2. Install Arduino CLI (command line interface): https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_latest_Windows_64bit.msi
  3. B4R - Tools - Configure Paths: configure the path to arduino-cli.exe and javac. Java 8+ is supported.
  4. Open the board manager and select the board.

Follow the installation instructions and fill at least 2 first fields: arduino-cli.exe and Javac.exe
