Compiling LVGL_Arduino returns "Error: unrecognized opcode `typedef signed char __int8_t'" for ESP32-2424S012/ESP32C3

I purchased a ESP32-2424S012/ESP32C3 1.28" display from ebay, trying to compile the LVGL_Arduino.ino file, getting several hundred errors in Arduino IDE, all of the ‘Error: unrecognized opcode `typedef signed char __int8_t’’ flavor. I’m not an expert programmer, so any help is appreciated.

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using? ESP32-2424S012/ESP32C3 1.28"

What do you want to achieve? I would like to be able to run LVGL_Arduino on the display

What have you tried so far? Many different ‘demos’, all that I try to compile give different errors, so I’m focusing in on this one.

Code to reproduce

Screenshot and/or video

Update…I replaced the ‘old’ lv_config.h file with the “newer” lv_conf_template.h file, and the LVGL_Arduino.ino does compile now, but, even after powering down and powering back up post-upload the 1.28 display is still blank.
I checked the serial monitor and don’t see the “Hello Arduino!” + version number information which makes me think the display is not even getting to that point. Any guidance is appreciated!!!
