IDE prompts to update boards that is already up to date.

[tikonen]

I get constant pop-ups to update 'boards or libraries'. The board IDE proposes to update is "Arduino nRF528x Boards (Mbed OS)". However the latest version 1.1.6 seems to be already installed.

There is also a strange "1.3.0" folder in my mbed installation that seems to contain also installation. Where that could have came from? It may be related to the problem.

Hi @tikonen ,
it looks like you encountered a know bug in the board manager filter that matches the title and not the actaul core. You can safely remove 1.1.6 folder manually and start using 1.3.0 (that contains support for both Nano33BLE and PortentaH7). After removing the folder please restart the IDE; the new menus should be called Arduino MbedOS Boards (nRF52840 / STM32H747)

This issue will be fixed as arduino-cli integration is complete

[tikonen]

That did the trick, thank you!
