Support for ESP32-C2 SoC (ESP8684)

[syph3rd]

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
Hey all,
I have recently gotten my hands on some ESP8684 ESP32-C2 based boards to replace some Tuya PCBs.
There is a beta esp-idf version 5.0 which appears to have support for this chip, it would be good if there was a way this could be used with ESPHome, even just to test the device functionality.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
Replace Tuya PCBs in some Downlights while also having BLE sensing to try and create a light follow sequence for myself and my dog

Additional context
I can provide a Virtual Machine and access to a Unit on Both WiFi and Serial.

It looks like you might be able to set version to something like v5.0-beta1 or dev? https://esphome.io/components/esp32.html#esp-idf-framework

Not sure if esphome is actually compatible with version 5.0 though -- there are definitely some breaking changes: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/tag/v5.0-beta1

5.0 Support esphome/esphome#4364
GPIO validation/etc esphome/esphome#4377

Still very WIP at the moment

Thank you,
I will dig out the PCBs and try it out

hi, is there example for the board/framework for esp32-C2 board?
i don't see it listed in this page

There is a PR to add Support for esp8684 (esp32-c2) #1203 but esp-idf and platform-espressif32.

While waiting for Esphome, there is also unfoicial Tasmota build for C2. Works well with mqtt and HA.

@rimroot Thanks. I will check that too.

Is there something new to know about esphome and ESP32-C2 SoC (ESP8684)?

Meanwhile OpenBeken has got a working .bin for this board and Tasmota a working beta-build.
Would appreciate it very much if esphome could run on this board soon as well, because of the super great opportunities that it offers.
