"VsCode arduino extension": Cannot select board type

There is no board that I can select. I tried to downgrade the arduino extension to v0.4.5 but it didn't work, i also tried to specified manually the board in .vscode/arduino.json but it didn't work either. Arduino Board Configuration Panel

What else can I check or what settings might lead to an empty board selector?

Try to download the boards package: Open the command palette (ctrl+shift+p). Enter arduino: board manager and hit enter. Find the package that suits your board, and click install. Wait for it to finish. Now you can come back to the "Select Board" menu and select your board.

Accepted answer did not work for me. If someone else has similar problem, you can try the following solution. Worked for me.

First kill all the vscode services using killall

sudo killall code

Then restart the vscode

After this, you should be able to select the board type.
