Bug

yes

Upload speed

115200

Description

The ESP32-C2 is supported by the core but it's hidden. I tried two things:
1.) Download the 'normal' arduino-esp core in ArduinoIDE, changed the boards.txt from "esp32c2.hide=true" to "esp32c2.hide=false" and restarted ArduinoIDE
2.) build the core with -t esp32c2

Both has the problem that when i try to upload a little 'hello world' it failed with this error below.

Sketch

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200); 
  delay(1000); 
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Hello World!");
  delay(1000); 
}
