Useful Info

OS: Raspbian Buster

Python: Python3.7

Mycroft-Precise Version: 0.3.0

Issue:

Hello Mycroft Precise Team (e.g. @MatthewScholefield)!

I have been trying to get precise-runner working with my Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian Buster.

After creating my own model on a Ubuntu Linux machine, I tried to get it Mycroft-precise to use it on the Pi (here is my model and its associated params. If anyone wants to test out the model, the wake word is "Automaton". I followed the steps to train my model and it yielded a 98.5% accuracy so I feel like it is pretty robust.)

Once I transferred everything over to my Pi, I ran into a solid wall where I spent upwards of three hours debugging things to no avail. I ended up trying to build from source as well but still no luck.

Here is the error I consistently get:

Expression 'alsa_snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near( pcm, hwParams, &alsaPeriodFrames, &dir )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 924
Segmentation fault

And this was after hours of tampering with my set-up. What I think is happening is something is happening with PyAudio but I know not what. I tried this also on Python3.5 on my Ubuntu Linux Machine and I am getting the same error.

Any thoughts about how to work around this? I would appreciate any thoughts here as I very much wish to use this software! Let me know if I can provide any more assistance

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Follow Source Install instructions

  2. Create Samply Python Program

  3. sudo python3 example.py with my model now in place as well as executing this from the virtual environment.

git clone https://github.com/mycroftai/mycroft-precise
cd mycroft-precise

Additional Info:

Here is my latest .asoundrc file that I created in my home directory:

.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
  type asym
   playback.pcm {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
   }
   capture.pcm {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
   }
}

Here is my alsa.conf file in my /usr/share/alsa/ directory:

alsa.conf

Hello,
For your information, I also try precise on raspberry pi 4 with buster lite.
I have also the same warning message as your's :
Expression 'alsa_snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near( pcm, hwParams, &alsaPeriodFrames, &dir )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 924
But I don't have "Segmentation fault".
All my test are described in issue #94.
Maybe it will help you.

Hey @tdy91,

I looked at your write-up - great work there! I will try out some of your fixes.

Regarding that particular error:

Expression 'alsa_snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near( pcm, hwParams, &alsaPeriodFrames, &dir )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 924

How did you solve it? Do you know where the problem was coming from?

Yours,

Have you attempted to use the preconfigured Buster/Mycroft image for Raspberry Pi? I'm curious if it shows any problem.

The most recent (aka "unstable") Picroft image is built on Buster Lite. See:
https://mycroft.ai/to/picroft-unstable

Hey @TheCedarPince,

Regarding 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 924 specific error, i don't try to solve it because in my tests it does not stop working.
In your case, the "Segmentation fault" which follows seems to stop you. No idea why, sorry.

Hey @penrods,

I don't try Buster/Mycroft image for Raspberry Pi. Just spent few hours to make working what i explain in issue #94 !

Yours,

Alright - update @tdy91

ValueError: could not convert string to float:

I have not gotten it figured out just yet but when I have more time I will make sure to go through your guide. The thing I am trying to do is avoid using a virtual-environment but that may not be possible...

I will keep you posted! Any thoughts so far?

Hey @TheCedarPince,

I don't understand what you mean saying 'I am trying to do is avoid using a virtual-environment but that may not be possible...' because I don't know exactly your installation (which virtual environment, which relationship with raspberry pi 4 ?).

For your information, while my tests I do everything on the Raspberry Pi 4 + Buster lite (installation and model creation), nothing on another machine or virtual machine.

In your last error log, i don't understand too where, 'precise/scripts/stream.py' come from, because following my tests I have no stream.py file, either precise/scripts/engine.py in case of 'source install', either precise-engine_0.3.0_armv7l/precise-engine in case of 'binary install'. But it does probably not matter.

This said, I had this kind of error ending with 'ValueError: could not convert string to float:' when precise engine script does'nt find or understand model *.pb or *.pb.params for instance.

In your case, I note that you seems to create your model on an Ubuntu Linux Machine (maybe the virtual environnment you are talking about) and i note also at the end ogf your log error
'google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Truncated string' which make me think that your model file *.pb *.pb.params has been probably created on Ubuntu with a more recent version of tensor tensorflow and is not understand by tensorboard V1.13.1 which must be used with current precise repository.

From your error message, to verify this hypothesis and qualify your raspberry pi 4 installation, i think you can just download hey-mycroft.tar.gz from precise-data repository https://github.com/MycroftAI/precise-data/tree/models/hey-mycroft.tar.gz
Then replace your model with hey-mycroft.pb and hey-mycroft.pb.params which are compatible with tensorboard V1.13.1 and works rather not bad.

If it works, you will just to have train your own model on the raspberry pi 4 itself or solve the problem otherwise.

Yours,
tdy91

Hey @tdy91 !

I went back through your instructions and I actually got things working! I am not going to close this issue yet as I discovered a lot of fixes that need to be incorporated into the documentation. I am going to do a write up for anyone else who has the same issues.

There were some things in your instructions that were missing so in the write-up here, I will include the missing steps.

Moreover, @krisgesling I should have this ready for reference in MycroftAI/documentation#139. Will let you know when this is ready to go!

Thanks all!
