ESP_SR Basic.ino sketch doesn't work. #12106

RobertMorton56 started this conversation in General
Discussion options

Board

ESP32-S3-BOX-Lite

Device Description

ESP32-S3-BOX-Lite stock, with no tweaks

Hardware Configuration

As per ESP32-S3-BOX-Lite defaults. No other devices attached apart from UART for debugging. UART connected to G43 and G44 as per defaults.

Version

latest master (checkout manually)

IDE Name

arduino-cli

Operating System

linux LTS kernel

Flash frequency

40Mhz

PSRAM enabled

yes

Upload speed

921600

Description

Everything compiles, and uploads fine. When viewing the debug serial output I keep getting:

E (73) AFE_SR: ERROR: Please select wake words!

I assumed the model would be uploaded to SPIFFS etc with this example. Is this not the case? My goal is to just get the Basic.ino sketch running.

Thanks

Sketch

As it is in master.

@me-no-dev PTAL. Thanks.

First please enable core debug from the board menu to level "debug" or "verbose". It will print a lot of things.
Then make sure that you have selected the appropriate partition scheme, else model would not be downloaded.

Also, even when you get all that to compile fine, the box-lite also requires yo to properly setup and init the audio DAC and ADC controllers. We will have all that covered soonish through a BSP Library, but we are not there yet.

Ah OK. Got you. Is there an recommended partitions.csv I can start with?

Rather than waste people's time maybe I'll wait for the library release? Soonish like a month? Longer?

I reckon there's not much left to get this sketch up and running on the box-lite with the current code as is. Thanks for the reply, looking forward to trying this hardware out with this core.

Select the ESP32-S3 dev module, enable OPI PSRAM and select ESP SR 16M (3MB APP/7MB SPIFFS/2.9MB MODEL) partition from the menu. This will set you up to get the proper partitions and model. Let me know if that does not work

Yep, that partition scheme worked - however I stuck with the esp32s3box. The ESP32-S3 dev module just loops these logs:

Compiling for the esp32s3box gives:

============ After Setup End =============

It doesn't respond to voice so I imagine the audio DAC and ADC controllers still need to be initialized as you suggested?

To note, I'm using arduino-cli so I used the following command to compile:

arduino-cli compile -v --warnings all --fqbn esp32:esp32:esp32s3box:PartitionScheme=esp_sr_16,DebugLevel=debug

I got the pin definitions from the schematic:
1702479430_selected

Yes. all started fine, but you do need to init the DAC and ADC. We will soon have support for all that.

@lucasssvaz if you get it going, please post the drivers here, so that @RobertMorton56 can continue testing :)

I'm implementing some I2S examples in #9030. Maybe it will help

Great, thanks for this. From a brief look at your example, the DAC is used. I assume I'll need to init the ADC too if I want to use the ESP32-box-lite's microphone?

Thanks again

Yeah, you will need to configure the ES7243E ADC to convert the analog signal from the Mic to I2S and, if you want to use the speaker, you'll need to also configure the ES8156 DAC to do the opposite (don't forget to enable the PA chip by driving the GPIO 46 high).

You can copy whatever configurations you need from the IDF implementation of the ES7243E and the ES8156.

Great, I'll try that. Thanks!

Tried that, it seems like the esp-adf is required. I did try and bring some of it into the Arduino space but it's getting messy. Might be better to wait till you guys have v3 ready. I assume you'll have es7234 and es8156 included in that release?

@RobertMorton56 What I meant is using the ES8388 driver as a base and getting the registers addresses and values from the ADF. You won't be able to use the exact commands that are used there but the codec registers and values will be the same.
