Hi,

No problem. We normally wait until the toolchain is released via the Espressif’s toolchain installer (otherwise it often just doesn’t work due to missing files or compatibility issues), however this time it looks like due to some reason they didn’t update the installer despite releasing a fairly stable toolchain.

Either way, we have updated our ESP32 toolchain to include the 2021r1 tools and ESP-IDF 4.3.1, and verified that basic projects can be built and debugged. You can download the new toolchain via VisualGDB Package Manager, or directly here.
