MMM Awesome Alexa installing snowboy.

Also now I am facing this problem where, no matter what I do, RPI4 does not take any other sd card boot image and boot that particular system.
For instance, My 32gb with working MM and RPI OS 32bit, boot up without any problem.
But then, I tried booting with a older build of RPI OS, Ubuntu(https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi) 32bit for Pi4.Both tried on different sd cards with 8gb/32gb and also reformatting it several times and everything.
I feel just so exhausted doing all this and thinking of returning my RPI4 if it has so may issues.

internal firmware :) (eeprom)
-
@Bugsounet doesn’t the newer system apply the firmware update automatically?
see here for the firmware test and update procedure
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/booteeprom.md -
@sdetweil I tried the boot recovery mentioned in the link, but no luck with that. Still gets stuck in boot and with a red light. no green light. should I try to get a replacement for my device?
-
@Ameyalgudkar I would guess yes
-
and Recovery ?
-
@Ameyalgudkar this procedure to verify and then fix
Is the bootloader working correctly? To check that the bootloader is working correctly, turn off the power, unplug everything from the Raspberry Pi 4, including the SD card, and then turn the power back on. If the green LED blinks with a repeating pattern then the bootloader is running correctly, and indicating that start*.elf has not been found. Any other actions imply that the bootloader is not working correctly and should be reinstalled using recovery.bin. Recovery image If the Raspberry Pi is not booting it's possible that the bootloader EEPROM is corrupted. This can easily be reprogrammed using the Raspberry Pi Imager tool which is available via the raspberrypi.org downloads page. Using the recovery image will erase any custom configuration options, resetting the bootloader back to factory defaults. Updating the bootloader Bootloader updates are instigated during a normal apt update, apt full-upgrade cycle, this means you will get new features and bug fixes during your normal updates. Bootloader updates are performed by the rpi-eeprom package, which installs a service that runs at boot-time to check for critical updates. To update your system, including the bootloader: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo rebootand the bootloader recovery process is documented on the imager page, right?

@Ameyalgudkar I also uploaded a fixed do-install.sh which loads the dependency listed before as part of the install
I have run it on three different machines and it works correctly
-
@sdetweil yes thats the one.
Also I just checked there are few parameters in that config that I have slightly different than default. Even after flashing the default recovery.img it did not get changed. So I will do it manually and check if it works. -
@sdetweil sorry to say, but nope it does not work on mine. the same snowboy installation error.
-
@Ameyalgudkar u have to boot the sd card you imaged from the recovery file, right?
-
@sdetweil So, what I was trying to do is update my eeprom as I was getting the error at boot. and so I did the bootloader factory reset as the steps mentioned
If your Raspberry Pi 4 will not boot, it is possible that the SPI EEPROM has become corrupted. To check, remove the SD card, disconnect the device from power, then reconnect it. If the green LED does not flash, this indicates that the EEPROM has become corrupted. Raspberry Pi Imager provides an easy way to fix this problem, by automatically preparing an SD card that will reprogram your Raspberry Pi 4’s EEPROM: Find an SD card that is empty, or does not contain any data you want to keep; it will be completely erased of all data during this process. Download Raspberry Pi Imager for your operating system from the list near the top of this page. Click “CHOOSE OS” and select “Misc utility images” then “Pi 4 EEPROM boot recovery”. Insert an SD card, click “CHOOSE SD CARD”, select the card you have inserted, then click “WRITE”. Once the SD card is ready, insert it into your Raspberry Pi 4 then connect the Raspberry Pi to power. Once complete, the green LED will blink rapidly in a steady pattern. Disconnect the device from power. Now you can remove the recovery SD card, insert your usual SD card, and resume using your Raspberry Pi.that fixed the issue with eeprom not being corrupted.
But later checking the current eeprom I noticed, for some reason the default bootloader I have in Raspberry Pi’s eeprom has been set as such for every new boot I had to short the Global_EN with ground to boot the Pi.
Even that being done it did not boot the new sd card’s no matter what. (So my guess right here is its cause of the makeshift power adaptor I am using which is converting 12v dc to 5v dc)
At this point I’m starting to hate these newer RPI4’s already.Edit- so there was actually some issue with my SD cards not being flashed properly, now I have enabled the USB boot with the latest eeprom, and the PI boots normally. will get a good sd card reader.

@Bugsounet with your automated process it got installed within modules of magic mirror.

Was the error installing MMM-AwesomeAlexa solved? I am also stuck at the step “npm run prepublish”. (see below).
I tried the fix to install libcblas, but my system shows that it is already installed.
I am running a clean install of the latest Buster full release with a basic install of MagicMirror - no other add-on modules.root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy# npm run prepublish > snowboy@1.3.1 prepublish /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy > tsc --listFiles node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts:20:1 - error TS1084: Invalid 'reference' directive syntax. 20 /// <reference lib="es2015" /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/index.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/node-pre-gyp.d.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/SnowboyDetectNative.d.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/node_modules/@types/node/base.d.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/@types/color-name/index.d.ts npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 2 npm ERR! snowboy@1.3.1 prepublish: `tsc --listFiles` npm ERR!

@Ameyalgudkar sure that’s why I do my own … because to complex to build with original repo
I fork it and correct source file, upgraded some library.
Add some personal change for simply configuration…But i never tested it in this module … maybe there is a few change to do … i don’t know really
I don’t use Alexa ':( -
@gelaw no it didn’t. still trying to figure somehow to install Snowboy. just the npm install method is not executing properly. I need the help of dev if I could. but looks like he hasn’t touched his post for a while.
-
@Ameyalgudkar did u run my script? you keep going thru the steps even if there are errors…
-
@sdetweil yes I tried, but snowboy not getting installed. here is the errors
if that would be helpful for you to understand what is actually happening. sorry for the file being very long and tiring.
-
install nan wih npm
-
@Ameyalgudkar no you did NOT use my script, OR follow the instructions… the instructions explicitly tell you to install nan
https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation
my script, which is same as the instructions for this module, plus the step to add the one dependency
over and over we asked if u followed the instructions… but u have not…#!/bin/bash cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # Navigate to module folder if [ ! -e ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa ]; then git clone https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa.git # Clone this repository fi cd MMM-awesome-alexa # go into the module directory v=$(apt -qq list libatlas-base-dev 2>/dev/null) if [ "$v". == "." ]; then sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev fi npm install --only=prod # Install depdendencies cd node_modules rm -rf snowboy # Remove the installed snowboy git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy.git # Manually get snowboy from git cd snowboy # Go into the /snowboy directory rm -rf node_modules npm install nan --save # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory /< -------------------------------------------- npm install node-pre-gyp@0.12.0 --save # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory npm install # Make sure you install in the /snowboy directory npm run prepublish # Make sure you run this in the /snowboy directory npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory npm install nan # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild # Build snowboy to your device specifications, in the /snowboy directory
