This chip is ESP8266 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?

Hi, This problem started a few days ago. I used to upload my sketchs without any issues but now, I can't upload (as I used to) to my ESP32 board

I'm using Arduino iDE 2.0.0 and selected Board DOIT ESP32DEVKIT V1 on COM3

The console shows this messages:

Sketch uses 999166 bytes (76%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 45320 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 282360 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.
esptool.py v3.0-dev
Serial port COM3
Connecting....

A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP8266 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

I reinstalled the board cores and it still happens. I tried in a second board and it happens too.

This is the board I'm using

Any ideas on how to solve it?

The module is labelled "ESP8266..." just under the "WiFi" logo. So, you have the wrong board plugged in.

I was struggling with this all weekend just for my old eyes problem

Thanks
