Research direction

Start by reproducing the 'blink' sketch compilation on the D1 R2 with the stable esp8266 package installed through the IDE preferences and Board Manager. Check the board and package configuration associated with d1_mini; done means the sketch compiles without the “Board d1_mini ... is unknown” error.

Description

I just received my D1 R2 and 2 D1 minis, and I tried to compile the 'blink' sketch, on the D1 R2,
and got this:

Board d1_mini (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown
Error compiling.

I added the 'stable' esp8266 to the IDE preferences and then installed the latest version, with Board Manager.
