Hi guys,

I am trying to get my ESP32 C3 board recognized to no avail. Using Board manager, I am trying to install espressif ESP32 package... but I don't understand why it fails. Here's the output:

Anyone encountered similar or have any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am really stuck :slight_smile: Thanks!
