Thanks, full uninstall and reinstall fixed it

Anybody getting boot loop recently? I have not changed my code, seems to have happened at some point after ESPHome update. I’ve been reading something about version 2.0.14 being the last one working:
esp32:
board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
framework:
type: arduino
version: 2.0.14
but that doesn’t work for me, all kinds of issues compiling it.
My suggestion is to check out my updated code - I’ve gone over to
framework:
type: esp-idf
version: recommended
as well as LVGL and - painful as converting over was - not looking back. Most of my stability issues were due to running out of memory, and migrating over to esp-idf has freed up a noticeable amount of memory making them more responsive. I do have one device that reboots every now and then, but as I have a number of them and the one has issues I think that is a hardware fault.
Thanks for the code, I got the device back to life now. Using lvgl now. Also the screen seems to be more responsive. I was using some early touchscreen and display platforms before. I was about to throw it away, but it’s usable again. I might still be tempted to get Waveshare ESP32-C6 1.47inch.

I’m getting an error suggesting the display is not initialized properly. Copilot says in such cases LVGL might still work, and it does, I can draw in LVGL even with that error still there.
But when not using LVGL the display is just covered with random dots and the display initialization error is also shown in logs.
I already tried data_rate: 4MHz and update_interval: 1s

Hmmmm… AI is a handy tool, and in general is getting better, but can still be misleading. First thing I’d do would be to do a ‘clean build files’ and recompile just in case. If the error is still there then can investigate further! 
[FWIW I just recompiled my code under esphome 2025.10.5 and HA 2025.11.2, and no errors…]
Use the mipi_spi driver instead of ili9xxx, it will cope better with limited memory as it can use a partial buffer.
Thanks - that fixed it.
First I replaced ili9xxx with mipi_spi with no other changes and LVGL still worked, but no more memory initialization error.
Then I replaced LVGL with Display Lambda to show a picture and that also worked.

Did you get this working?
I am looking to do something similar using Music Assistant.
If your willing to share your code that would be amazing.
As an aside, FWIW I think this has a lot of promise to help generate a decent looking display:
