Description

In a fresh installation of Arduino 1.8.12 the boards manager has only one core pack shown for the AVR boards. I need to install the SAM core to utilize a DUE board but that choice is not available..

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a fresh Arduino IDE 1.8.12 installation and inspect the Boards Manager package list. Confirm whether the SAM core is absent and whether the fix is complete when the SAM package appears and a DUE board can be selected.
