Incompatibility with BluetoothSerial library on LilyGo T-Display-S3

i am working on similar project and when i attempting to use the BluetoothSerial library with the LilyGo T-Display-S3 board results in compilation errors. The same code compiles and runs as expected on a standard ESP32 board, indicating the issue is specific to the LilyGo T-Display-S3 board.

Here is the code:

#include "BluetoothSerial.h"

BluetoothSerial SerialBT; // Object for Bluetooth

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // Start the built-in serial port, possibly to communicate with the host computer
//SerialBT.begin("ESP32test"); // Start BluetoothSerial with the name "ESP32test"

Serial.println("Bluetooth device is ready to pair");
}

void loop() {
if (SerialBT.available()) { // Check if we receive anything from Bluetooth
Serial.write(SerialBT.read()); // Send what we receive to the built-in serial port
}

if (Serial.available()) { // Check if anything is coming from the built-in serial port
SerialBT.write(Serial.read()); // Send what we receive to Bluetooth
}
}

Here is the error:

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @talhababar.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

The original ESP32 supports BLE and BT classic. The ESP32-S3 supports BLE but not BT classic. BluetoothSerial is a BT classic protocol so it does not work on ESP32-S3.
