Documentation: Wrong URL in README.md for Arduino Board install

URL should be fixed to : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json .
In the REAME.md now there is missing slash which cases URL access to fail when the URL is added in Arduino Preferences page.

Good call on this, It would be nice to identify procedures to load ones software on the module.

Press and hold reset and boot button.
Release the Reset button, and then the boot button.

Thank you for your suggestion

Once the board list is added in preferences, which board should we be using? I've tried a few but haven't had any success. Perhaps this could be included in the README as a step 2.

Are you using PlatformIO? I use the esp32DEV one.. Though, it won't connect unless you hold reset + boot then release the reset button, followed by the boot button; at this point, no buttons should be being pressed. After that, your PC, should pick up on the available port.

I'm trying to use the Arduino IDE, and while an Esp32 Dev board exists, it's throwing an error in the compile step:

Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module.

I expected the Boards Manager would have prevented such an error, but I'm not even sure that everything would work if that error is resolved.

The board doesn't behave any differently when I perform the reset/boot pattern you mentioned, except to send some text over the Serial Monitor:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
