ESPC2 support in Arduino ide

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to work with an ESP32-C2 module (ESP-C2-12), but it seems that the Arduino IDE does not yet support this chip. The board does not show up in the Board Manager and I couldn’t find an official core for ESP32-C2.

Could anyone please confirm:

Is ESP32-C2 currently unsupported in the Arduino IDE?
Are there any workarounds or unofficial cores available?
By any chance does that support Arduino Librarys?
What alternatives are recommended for programming ESP32-C2 (e.g., ESP-IDF, PlatformIO, etc.)?
Are there any plans or timeline for official Arduino IDE support for ESP32-C2?
I mainly want to use the Arduino libraries, so any pointers on how to do this with ESP32-C2 would be great.

Thanks in advance!

ESP32-C2 is mentioned as supported, but only if you rebuild static libraries (via “lib‐builder”) or use Arduino as an ESP-IDF component. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/ard ... arted.html
