Click "Ok" and then open the Boards Manager tool, search for "espressif ESP32" and install the latest alpha release (3.0.0-alpha2 or later). This install process may take some time but when it completes, you can select "ESP32-C6 dev module" as the board to upload code to the Qwiic Pocket Development Board. We'll keep an eye out for the full release of v3.0.0 and update this page once it is out.

The espressif ESP32 Arduino Boards package includes the Qwiic Pocket Development Board - ESP32-C6. Install it by opening the Boards Manager tab on the left side of the IDE, then search for "espressif ESP32" and install the latest version of the ESP32 boards package as the screenshot below shows. This assumes the use of Arduino 2.x. Legacy users (Arduino 1.8x and previous) can find the Boards Manager tool in File/Tools/Boards Manager.
