Hi @Voljka1! Please be aware that (1) the following suggestions are generated by a bot and haven't been fact-checked by Espressif Systems, (2) burning eFuses and enabling security features are irreversible operations and can damage your ESP32 device. We hope that this message will help you until an Espressif Engineer looks at your issue.

Thank you for reporting the issue regarding the compatibility of the esp_io_expander_tca9554 component with ESP-IDF 6.0 when used with the esp32_s3_korvo_2_noglib BSP.

Current Status:

• The latest available version of esp_io_expander_tca9554 (v2.0.1) officially supports ESP-IDF versions >=5.2, but there is no explicit mention of ESP-IDF 6.0 support in the available documentation or component registry. The component’s CMakeLists.txt may not yet include the necessary logic to handle the new esp_driver_i2c dependency introduced in ESP-IDF 6.0, which can lead to build errors when using this version of the framework Component Registry: esp_io_expander_tca9554.

• Your proposed workaround to update the CMakeLists.txt to conditionally add esp_driver_i2c for ESP-IDF 6.0 and above is not documented in the official sources, but it aligns with the changes in ESP-IDF 6.0, where the I2C driver has been refactored and may require explicit dependency declaration ESP-IDF v5.0 Breaking Changes.

Recommendation:

• At this time, the knowledge sources do not confirm official support or provide an updated CMakeLists.txt for ESP-IDF 6.0 in the esp_io_expander_tca9554 component.
• Your suggested CMake modification is a reasonable workaround until the component is officially updated for ESP-IDF 6.0.
• For long-term stability, please consider opening an issue or pull request in the esp-bsp repository to request official ESP-IDF 6.0 support for this component.

Summary:
The current version of esp_io_expander_tca9554 does not officially support ESP-IDF 6.0, and your workaround is not yet reflected in the official sources. Please monitor the component repository for updates or submit your fix for consideration by the maintainers.

If you need further assistance, please let us know!
