Problem Description

esp8285 generic board missing sdk options

This was originally on purpose. Only generic esp8266 has this menu entry.
All other boards use the default sdk entry are a specific set of esp8266 generic menu.
esp8285 is esp8266 with DOUT and 1MB.

Given that esp8285 can be considered as a generic board too, this is a fair request.
Would you be able to propose a pull request for that ?

for my taste there are allready too many variants (and options) - slowing down Arduino IDE (start) massively, only working with the two generic modules in boards.txt. Maybe I should cut down to only one???

@d-a-v pull request #7550 done but fails for check on Boards.txt.
Started locally boards.txt is built ok .... so I don't know.

ok, pr merged so issue closed

Not to continue discussion in the closed issue...

I wanted to also point out the #7340 (...no gh labels so far, seems to be missed...)
Unless, there are more reasons to keep 8285 and 8266 generic variants separate
