Arduino-ESP32 version 3.0.0 does not compile with LilyGo T-display S3 and TFT_eSPI

[Berg0162]

Board: LilyGo T-display S3 --> Board manager setting: "ESP32S3 Dev Module" with the right Tools settings Arduino IDE version: 2.3.2; CLI Version: 0.35.3 TFT_eSPI version: 2.5.43; previous version: 2.5.34

Arduino-ESP32 version: 2.0.17 --> All my code compiles without problems and works fine with TFT_eSPI (versions 2.5.43 and 2.5.34) !!

After installing: Arduino-ESP32 version 3.0.0;

Compilation error: exit status 1

In file included from d:\Users\31651\Documents\Arduino\libraries\TFT_eSPI\TFT_eSPI.cpp:20:

exit status 1

After re-installing Arduino-ESP32 version: 2.0.17 ---> NO Compilation error Compliation Error is NOT dependent on the TFT_eSPI version. All my code works fine with TFT_eSPI and the LilyGo board of version 2.0.17 and previous

Our friends with Espressif have made changes (once again) that break up the TFT_eSPI library for this board (and others?).

See this link for a workaround: https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/issues/3346

Thanks for this suggestion! I have changed the file: Processors/TFT_eSPI_ESP32.h and added #include "driver/gpio.h"

// Include processor specific header
#include "soc/spi_reg.h"
#include "driver/spi_master.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "hal/gpio_ll.h"

Updated to version arduino-ESP32 version 3.0.1 ....

The above mentioned compile error complaining about gpio_get_level is persistent in the new situation: Compilation error: exit status 1

This is NOT solving the problem!

Try add it in TFT_eSPI_ESP32_S3.h. Worked for me.

"Try add it in TFT_eSPI_ESP32_S3.h. Worked for me."

Worked for me too.

"Try add it in TFT_eSPI_ESP32_S3.h. Worked for me."

Worked for me too.

Yes, I can compile but the screen remains black. It worked before

[Berg0162]

I have added #include "driver/gpio.h" to the file: Processors/TFT_eSPI_ESP32_S3.h

// Processor ID reported by getSetup()
#define PROCESSOR_ID 0x32

// Include processor specific header
#include "soc/spi_reg.h"
#include "driver/spi_master.h"
#include "hal/gpio_ll.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"

I have tested this with arduino-ESP32 version 2.0.17 and the latest version: 3.0.1 Indeed, for both versions: NO Compile error anymore with my code -> problem solved!

Please include this in the next TFT_eSPI version!
