ESP32-C6 zigbee2mqtt

Hello all! I tried to look up something, but most of the post are old that’s why i decided to create a new one.
Recently i bought ESP32-C6-WROOM1-N8 boards and from what i understand they have zigbee support.
Did someone managed to connect the new esp32-c6 board with zigbee2mqtt and report sensor data?

What firmware are you running on the esp32-c6

Not exactly out of the box, but i manage to send data to z2m (at least for BME280)
Kudos to GitHub - luar123/esphome_zb_sensor: Example of a zigbee sensor in esphome

Here is my example ESPHome Yaml

for me it throws an error

Create the missing file config/partitions_zb.csv
it should contain:

otadata,  data, ota,     ,        0x2000,
phy_init, data, phy,     ,        0x1000,

Hi folks,

I just ordered my C6. Few days before it arrives…
In the meantime, can someone please dumb it down for me? I want to flash it with whatever is needed in order to convert it into a Zigbee gateway so I can connect some push-buttons to control stuff in Home Assistant.

So what am I actually suppose to flash it with?

Thanks

It is not a zigbee gateway (whatever that is), it creates a zigbee end point.

The firmware is given in post 3. You flash it with esphome.io

Hi. I’m getting a long way through the process, but then failing here:

Compiling .pioenvs\zb-sensor\src\esphome\components\sensor\filter.o
src/esp_zb_light.c:43:10: fatal error: ha/esp_zigbee_ha_standard.h: No such file or directory
   43 | #include "ha/esp_zigbee_ha_standard.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
*** [.pioenvs\zb-sensor\src\esp_zb_light.o] Error 1

I’m not sure where that header file is meant to come from and where I can get it.

Grateful for any assistance.
P.S. I have deactivated the logger - running like this: esphome run --no-logs zb_sensor.yaml
