Maybe my question is trivial, but I need to start a project with the new ESP32-MINI-1 module and its ESP32-DevKitM-1 develop board. Until now I used the Arduino IDE for my projects with the ESP32-WROOM-32 without problem, but since the core of the new module (ESP32-U4WDH) seems to be different respect the WROOM (ESP32-D0WDQ6), I'm wondering if I'll have problems.
It's enough to keep the 'ESP32 Dev Module' selected in the board setting of the IDE?
Anyone have some suggestions or usefull infos?
The ESP32 is not an 'Arduino', its Espressif that produce the ESP32 and write the support for it in the Arduino IDE, so best to ask them;

I thought the support for the Espressif's modules was made by Arduino's community. Thanks for the clarification. I'll try to ask to Espressif.

The ESP32 Arduino boards platform project is here:
you can see it's under the Espressif Systems (manufacturer of the ESP32) GitHub account, so there is definitely some official support for the project. But there is certainly a strong volunteer effort by the Arduino community involved as well, as is the case with any good open source project. I have wondered myself how much Espressif has supported the project.

I got your point and makes a lot of sense to me. And this is why I posted here my question.

esp32 Arduino platform was started by me-no-dev in 2016 as a community project, but now me-no-dev works for Espressif and is still the main developer for esp32 Arduino.
contrary, Igor, the author of esp8266 Arduino ,works for Espressif too, but doesn't maintain the esp8266 boards package anymore so that is still a community project.
