General issue report

I ran the example below on an ESP32C2.

Hello world!
This is esp32c2 chip with 1 CPU core(s), WiFi/BLE, silicon revision 100, 2MB external flash
Minimum free heap size: 202356 bytes

pay attention to this part:

This is esp32c2 chip with 1 CPU core(s), WiFi/BLE, silicon revision 100, 2MB external flash

As far as I know the ESP32C2(=ESP8684) has a built in SPI FLASH.
Isn't "2MB embedded flash" correct instead of "2MB external flash"?

This is from the ESP8684 datasheet.

ESP8684H1 1 MB –40 ∼ 105 QFN24 (4*4)
ESP8684H2 2 MB –40 ∼ 105 QFN24 (4*4)
ESP8684H4 4 MB –40 ∼ 105 QFN24 (4*4)

You are right, should be embedded. We'll fix this.
