Can't build for ESP8266 ESP01

PlatformIO Core
1

Hi there! I’m trying to compile an example project for my ESP8266 ESP01 board. I have my project considered like so:

[env:latest_stable]
platform = espressif8266
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L
board_build.f_flash = 80000000L
board_build.flash_mode = qio
upload_resetmethod = ck
upload_speed = 9600
board = esp01

However, when I try to build it I get the following error:

pio run --target upload --target monitor
Processing latest_stable (platform: espressif8266; board: esp01)

I can build for a different platform (Kendryte k210) just fine, so I know that my platformio install isn’t completely broken. I’m on version 4.3.1, and I’ve recently run platformio platform update, so I should be fine in that regard.

Has anybody seen this before? I’d appreciate any help in getting this fixed.
Thanks!

Actually, the problem seems to be that I didn’t specify the android framework. It gets past the build step, but times out when trying to connect. But that’s unfortunately common for these modules, since I can never seem to wire them up properly lol. But I should be good for now!
