Features Array Changing in Tutorial Code

Hello, I am trying to follow this tutorial: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/using-cubeai using a STM32WL55JC1.
I directly pasted in raw features on my device and when monitoring the serial output the features array that is returned is changed. How is this possible if the raw features are directly pasted in? Here are a few of the output arrays I am seeing, they never seem to repeat.

Hi @jwcuddeb,

Any chance you could share your project or at least the main.cpp file?

Thanks,
Aurelien

Will not let me upload non-image files so here is a copy of main.cpp:

It looks correct but I notice you use the run_classifier_continuous function.
Can you try with the regular run_classifier instead? I’m thinking the double buffering used for continuous audio is not performing as expected as your Prediction latency is over 2 sec.

If you also share your project ID, we could also try to reproduce and see why it is so slow.

Aurelien

Changing to run_classifier made the features consistent. However now the DSP/prediction is taking much much longer:


Project ID is 54230.

Performances are quite low because there’s no FPU on the M4. You can try a couple of things to tune your MFE block as mentioned in this post: Impulse performance on STM32WL55x extremely slow.
Especially the FFT size to 64, and setting your frame stride = frame length.

Aurelien

We are also running into a few additional issues with this project.

When I update the primary model with one generated by the EON tuner and deploy it via Cube.MX CMSIS-PACK, there seems to be a large amount of undefined references similar to the issue raised https://forum.edgeimpulse.com/t/cant-verify-stm32wl-project-successfully/3084 (which has since been fixed). I’m showing the existing errors in the screenshot below.

Also, is there an issue with the fact that we’re using a dual core project, and folder structure?

Thank you.

Hi @Markrubianes,

It looks more like the porting functions are not defined/found. Can you check whether EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI is defined (and set to 1)?

edge-impulse-sdk/porting/ei_classifier_porting.h:

#ifndef EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI
#if defined(USE_HAL_DRIVER) && !defined(__MBED__) && EI_PORTING_ZEPHYR == 0
#define EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI      1
#else
#define EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI      0
#endif
#endif

Raul

Yes it is set to 1

#ifndef EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI
#if defined(USE_HAL_DRIVER) && !defined(MBED) && EI_PORTING_ZEPHYR == 0
#define EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI 1
#else
#define EI_PORTING_STM32_CUBEAI 0
#endif
#endif

Thanks for your reply.

This should mean that edge-impulse-sdk/porting/stm32-cubeai/ei_classifier_porting.cpp can be found built and linked. Can you confirm? e.g. try putting some gibberrish like dfdffd; in a function. The compilation should fail here. If it does fail, then the problem seems to be in the linking stage.
