ESP ALEXA ESP-VA-SDK

[prabhu012]

Hi, I am working with ESP-VA-SDK, and I am fairly new to ESP-IDF. I am using the ESP32-S3 Eye v2.2. When I build the code, I am getting this error
and our esp-idf version is 4.4.4 and I also tried esp-idf version V_4.2.4 and V_4.1.4

C:\esp_idf\components\esp-va-sdk\examples\google_voice_assistant>idf.py build

Could anyone provide help on how to solve this error

@Whiteliondnd8 @prabhu012
Can you share the devkit or module details you are using? ESP-VA-SDK requires external RAM of at least 4MB. It appears, your module doesn't have the same.

I am working with ESP32 Development Board - DEVKIT V1 which have 4MB flash and 320kb RAM and externally I have connected
INMP441 microphone for audio input

DEVKIT V1 https://grobotronics.com/esp32-development-board-devkit-v1.html?sl=en

INMP441 microphone https://robu.in/product/inmp441-mems-high-precision-omnidirectional-microphone-module-i2s/

If this module is not supportable please suggest to me which development module i use

I see! The above particular board has WROOM-ESP32 module and does not have external RAM (SPI-RAM) installed.
You should use a dev kit with WROVER module instead. For evaluation purpose I would suggest you to go for a simple audio board esp32-lyrat, which has SPI-RAM, speaker and microphone arrangement as well. (e.g, https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits/esp32-lyrat)

If you are planning for a production with esp-va-sdk however, you should use the board with the external DSP for reliable performance. Few boards we support are lyrat_dspg and vaquita_dspg. Do drop an email to sales@espressif.com for more information.

Hi @vikramdattu @sudeep-mohanty I have bought the esp32 lyraT mini v1.2(https://www.digikey.in/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-LYRAT-MINI/11310550)
Now I am trying to flash the code but I am getting some errors that are given in the .txt file
Can you suggest to me what is the proper way to successfully configure the amazon_aia example code
