ESP32-S3 + LVGL + ILI9488: Reading .gif from SD card causes SPI transmit error (buffer size issue?)

****

Hi,

I'm using ESP32-S3 with LVGL and an ILI9488 SPI display. I'm trying to display a GIF from SD card:

```c
lv_gif_set_src(img, "A:/example.gif");
```

---

### Issue

With full buffer:

```c
static const size_t LV_BUFFER_SIZE = DISPLAY_HORIZONTAL_PIXELS * DISPLAY_VERTICAL_PIXELS;
```

I get:

```
spi transmit (queue) color failed
```

Reducing buffer size (e.g. 40 lines) avoids the SPI error, but the GIF (~300KB) does not display correctly.

---

### Question

Is this due to SPI/DMA limits or GIF decoding constraints in LVGL?
What is the recommended way to display large GIFs from SD card on ESP32-S3?

Thanks!

Or you're just running out of RAM?
