Can’t build for ESP32S3 - KeyError: 'toolchain-xtensa-esp32'

From: https://community.platformio.org/t/cant-build-for-esp32s3/28090

I am having issues compiling for a new esp module ESP32-WROOM-1U.

I can build just fine using idf.py build

I am using esp-idf.

This is the output:

Thanks a lot @Jason2866 The Schematics of my S3 board are here With this I can already go forward. Created an Issue there in my fork so you can track my advance since I have the feeling we are communicating over here and it’s starting to be Offtopic for the nice Platformio people.

Solution: The problem was a faulty Pio setup.
