Upgrade to newer IDF version makes examples stop working

[raywo_esp]

I am fairly new to the IDF framework and encountered problems with everything newer than 5.0.

Currently I am working with an ESP32C3 dev module and trying some display stuff over SPI. Under IDF v5.0 I got the simple spi_lcd_touch example working like a charm. I had to plug in my GPIOs, build and flash it and that’s it. However when I upgrade to IDF v5.1 the example stops working. The log still prints everything as usual but the displays stays dark.

Can anyone point me to some ideas how to solve this?

BTW: I eventually need to upgrade to a newer version, since I actually want to use an ESP32C6 module which is only supported by versions >v5.0.
