General issue report

Hi,

We found that the LCD display screen may be corrupted (see link below) if Wi-Fi is connected and has some activities (e.g. communicating with host, performing OTA update, etc). If Wi-Fi is turned off, the display works fine. Besides, the LCD display buffer is placed in the PSRAM (Octal mode@80MHz). If we temporarily change it to internal RAM, it seems the problem can be avoided.

Here is the IDF information: IDF version: v4.4.4 (patched with commit "3cec3a00260") LVGL version: v7.11 Display Buffer: PSRAM (Octal Mode@80MHz) ESP LCD I/F: i80 bus, 8-bit bus width, 16-bit RGB, 10MHz pixel CLK

Can anyone help to see how to fix this issue or know the root cause? Thanks for your help!
