Xiao ESP32C3 bootloops "sha-236 comparison failed"

[Haui1112]

Not sure where to put this exactly but I'm trying to get my xiao esp32 c3 to run WLED since it is small and versatile. Sadly, the provided bin wont run as of now.

Steps to reproduce

1. download WLED_0.16.0-alpha_ESP32-C3.bin
2. python -m venv
3. pip install esptool
4. esptool.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 115200 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 ~/Downloads/WLED_0.16.0-alpha_ESP32-C3.bin
5. get error/bootloop

You not only need to flash the .bin file with eld software, but also bootloader, boot-app and partition table. Why dont you use web-based install option? It does everything for you.
