[NEW HARDWARE] ESP32-C6 based Ethernet gateway for Zigbee Coordinator and Thread Border Router

[Hedda]

@mercenaruss please consider making an ESP32-C6 based Ethernet gateway for Zigbee Coordinator and Thread Border Router.

Espressif has a reference board design but it is based on ESP32-H2 instead of ESP32-C6 and it doen't have onboard Ethernet PHY board but instead that is a separate daughter/addon-board with RJ-45 port (and only has 10Mb which can be an issue with some network switches):

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-thread-br/en/latest/hardware_platforms.html

This is wanted both for Zigbee Coordinator (with zigpy library for the ZHA integration) and Thread Border Router for the Matter integration:

Also usable with other ESP32 based Zigbee projects -> https://github.com/espressif/esp-zigbee-sdk

And sooner or later also usable with Matter (BETA) and Thread:
