FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C5 Development Kit not compiling in Arduino

Can't get the Arduino 2.3.7 to compile the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C5 Development Kit. I saw in a bit of documentation that Boards Manager ESP32 3.3.0-alpa1 worked but now that is no longer available

Unfortunately I bought 2 of these and now DFRobot boards just not working - very bad!

Hi,
Well now I have the just out 3.3.7 of esp32 boards (I guess that is what was meant by 3.7.0) and I can now get a esp32 C5 dev module but still NO dfrobot's C5 - there are C3, C6 fire beetle 2 C6, etc but NO fire beetle 2 C5 - disappointing!

Hi Sandy,

The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C5 requires the latest ESP32 Arduino core. Update your Boards Manager to version 3.7.0 or newer and make sure you select the correct board in the Arduino IDE. Also, check that all dependencies and libraries for ESP32-C5 are installed. This should resolve the compilation issues.

Hi,

That doesn't make sense to me the latest ESP Board Manager is 3.3.6

Where and how are you getting 3.7.0??
