Started validation for ESP-EYE Development Board

[Ritesh]

Hi All,

I have received ESP-EYE with ESP32 Swag last week and started to check few stuffs for ESP-EYE kit. Below are few useful links for that which might be helpful for some others which will use that kit for evaluation phase.

We have also just started to evaluate that kit and will ask queries for that from IDF perspective.

Also we have checked provided firmware inside board and used few times but we got few backtraces while using it. so there might be just sample firmware installed which needs to make robust to work with all possible test-cases.

Hi Everyone,

I hope few has received that module and started work to evaluate it. So, Please post if you find any interesting stuffs for that.

Hi,

We have started evaluation of ESP-EYE board with default firmware as well as compiled ESP-WHO firmware using steps provided.

It works fine for sometimes but we got exception randomly while testing it.

Anyone has faced this type of issue?

Still, We will do some testing and also look firmware source for more undressing.

Hi,

We have also checked that default firmware is giving 2 Frames per second. So, I also want to know like up to how much FPS it can support and also same into ESP-WHO framework for that.

Can we get 10 or more than that FPS with current board design and ESP-WHO framework?

I recv'd one as well. Am very interested in wake word detection. There is only one in English... "Hello Lexin", in the ESP_WHO IDF. Unfortunately it takes me saying it a dozen times before it detects.

Hi John,
i didnt test it too much but from my experience wake word is "Hi Lexin" and when you pronounce it as one word it works good.

Hi,

Yes. We have also faced same issue into default firmware provided as well as ESP-WHO firmware which we have compiled like not able to detect voice properly. So, Might be need to improve voice recognition process from software or hardware point view.

So, May be Espressif SDK team knows about that.

Yeah. But sometimes with that as single word it is not bale to recognise as we have tried 10 times and able to detect only 3 to 4 times which means ratio is 30 to 40 ℅ for voice recognition process. So, There might be chances like need to improve it from hardware and software side for that.

Note that the keyword is trained mostly on the pronounciation of 'Hi Lexin' from Chinese speakers; 'Lexin' is actually Pinyin for the Chinese name of Espressif... long story short, it may help if you pronounce the 'x' more as an 's'.

Ok. Understood. So, do we have any option to be configurable to change it from firmware side?

Also, crash issue is known from Espressif SDK team?

So that we will concentrate into rest of the stuffs from firmware side.
