Can't compile due to no 'ha/gpio_ll.h' being found

I am trying to compile the colour_test example on an ESP32 Dev Module using the Arduino IDE. I've updated the user_setup.h to match the GC9A01 LCD I'm using. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing this dependency issue.

Thanks!

Update to the latest ESP32 board package.

Hi. I have the same problem on VSCODE 1.85.1. - "pio\libdeps\ttgo-t1\TFT_eSPI\Processors/TFT_eSPI_ESP32.h:14:25: fatal error: hal/gpio_ll.h: No such file or directory".
Updates do not solve the problem. Please your help.

Found a work around that solved problem for my PlatformIO and ESP32 projects with TFT_eSPI V2.5.34.
Comment out the offending line in
[path]/TFT_eSPI/Processors/TFT_eSPI_ESP32.h
// #include "hal/gpio_ll.h"

This behaviour started with V2.5.34 (https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/releases/tag/V2.5.34) Nov 10, 2023,
released Nov 17, 2023 when the offending line was added:

13 13 #include "driver/spi_master.h"
14 + #include "hal/gpio_ll.h"
15 15

I don't know what problem it was trying to fix, but the latest ESP32 lib no longer has the folder hal within the ESP32 sdk.

You can read more about the history of this change here:
espressif/esp-idf#9184

And the bug raised here for ESP EDF 5.1:
espressif/esp-idf#11454

The latest Arduino board package 2.0.14 is based on ESP EDF 5.1 and the header does exist:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/components/hal/include/hal/gpio_hal.h

It's a pity the low level hal interface access keeps getting broken by the espressif software team, with no commitment to a stable low level hal.

Maybe shoud update espressif32 version as below:
