Using a Programmer as a dev board

[not-the-messiah]

Hello,

I want to use the 16MB, 8MB PSRAM Wrover-IE chip in my project, but I'm having a problem getting a dev board with the exact chip I'm interested in using.

Would it be possible to get a programmer, add the chip I want and upload Arduino sketches to it and use it like it's a dev board?

It seems to have all the same major components?

Thanks for any help!

Should work.

I bought a programmer and the exact chip I wanted, an ESP32Wrover-E which has 16MB of flash and 8mb sdram.

I plugged the chip onto the board, plugged it in and treated it like an ESP32 Dev module in the Arduino IDE and it worked just like you'd expect a dev board to! No hassle whatsoever... highly recommended!
