And the folders lvgl and lvgl_esp32_drivers are empty。

This is the likely source of your error; those directories should not be empty. Are you certain you did git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:lvgl/lv_port_esp32.git?

In any case, try doing git submodule update --init --recursive in the lv_port_esp32 top directory, and see if that fixes the issue.

That worked for me! Thanks!
