### What do you want to achieve?

I want to create UI in SquareLine Studio for esp32-8048s070 and export project for ESP-IDF (Espressif)

### What have you tried so far?

I tried to select other board, but it doesn’t worked after flashing, in log was something like “wrong board, check hardware”

You can create your custom ESP-IDF board template based on an existing one or exported code, and editing ‘sdkconfig’ in it, or set it with ‘idf.py menuconfig’ according to your memory/device requirements. It might need some trials with different settings until it works. Especially if the display-diver is not supported by default in ESP-IDF and you need to integrate a driver into the source.  
A similar topic including our tutorial on creating custom board templates: [How do I create a project for a custom STM32 board?](https://forum.squareline.io/t/how-do-i-create-a-project-for-a-custom-stm32-board/2124)  
And a successful custom ESP32 board template as a possible example (albeit with different display/etc) for you:

Thank you.  
Based on the “Sunton ESP32 5.0 RGB display board” I made for the “esp32-8048s070”. But now there is another problem: when I added the board, it didn’t work the first time. Now I have the final version, but if I replace the files in the Square line program, the program ignores the changes and uses the ones I added the first time. I tried to erase the folder “esp32-8048s070”, but the board still remains in the program.  
How do I remove a board from Square line in order to add it again but already fixed version?
