[Solved] ESP32 on the MATRIX Voice - Deploy Failed to Connect

OrsonAround · January 29, 2018, 5:09pm

Following the Get Started w/ESP32 on the MATRIX Voice tutorial on hackster.io, I am able to complete all steps except the last, where I get the following error:

$ make deploy

Hello @OrsonAround

Could you run: sudo dpkg -l | grep matrixio and show us the result. Also please keep close any software to open the /dev/ttyS0.

I’m looking forward to your answer.

Thanks, AFAIK there shouldn’t be anything else using /dev/ttyS0

Here is the output

Wasn’t sure how to make sure /dev/ttyS0 wasn’t already in use, but have done some further research today and it doesn’t seem to be.

Hello @OrsonAround,

The communication between ESP32 and Raspberry PI is with Serial Port. In this case, we are using the /dev/ttyS0, as you show me, the /dev/ttyS0 has not be activated. This activation should be done by the matrixio-creator-init package. Let us review it and test. I will share with you our findings and how to resolve this issue.

Thank You,

Regards

/dev/ttyS0 does appear with both of these commands when make deploy is running.

Hello @OrsonAround,

We already released a new version of matrixio-creator-init, run the following commands in your raspberry pi:

# Update packages and install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then we need to test if the FPGA is already programmed, test with:

pi@voice:~ $ /usr/share/matrixlabs/matrixio-devices/fpga_info 
IDENTIFY = 6032bad2
VERSION = 10004

You should obtain this response. Then You could test your ESP32 with the following command:

pi@voice:~ $ voice_esp32_enable && esptool.py -p "/dev/ttyS0" flash_id
esptool.py v2.2
Connecting....
Detecting chip type... ESP32
Chip is ESP32D0WDQ6 (revision 1)
Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...
Manufacturer: c8
Device: 4016
Detected flash size: 4MB
Hard resetting...

You should obtain a response like it.

Let me know how the test is going.

Regards,

Kevin Patino.

OrsonAround · January 30, 2018, 10:55pm

Thanks, but unfortunately no success. Upgraded, rebooted and ran commands, but still have the same error. I did notice my output shows esptool.py as v2.2.1 whereas yours shows v2.2

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /usr/share/matrixlabs/matrixio-devices/fpga_info
IDENTIFY = 6032bad2
VERSION = 10004
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ voice_esp32_enable && esptool.py -p “/dev/ttyS0” flash_id

@OrsonAround,

Your MATRIX Voice is the version without ESP32 .

Thank You,

parseb · April 20, 2018, 9:45am

Tried present example:
serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/ttyS0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/dev/ttyS0’

I am trying to flash this one https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/bluetooth/a2dp_source . I have no clue how make deploy is not there as I guess there is no point in setting RPI_HOST. Do I need to wrap it somehow?

parseb · April 20, 2018, 10:27am

Used and included this in Makefile.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matrix-io/matrixio_hal_esp32/502bc1c37521b4d0557942b5a68ac8f623fa06b7/make/deploy.mk

Looking into pairing config. If you kow where I should look, let me know.

kevindpatino · April 20, 2018, 10:31pm

Hello @parseb,

Did you install matrixio-creator-init?

Could you try: sudo apt install matrixio-creator-init it configure your raspbian in order to use the ttyS0.

Now, you have configured the debug console.

Anything different Raspbery pi 2+? (I assume the assumption of rpi 3)
