Spresense “audio_manager” assertion failed

[Vassily98]

I am working over a Spresense project but I have a problem with audio reproduction. The SD card has three files called "1.mp3", "2.mp3" and "3.mp3", but when I call one of them Serial puts an error and the board halts.

Other audio examples worked well also with the files actually used in my project (renamed)

void Play(int id){
  // Open file placed on SD card
  if(id == 1){
    Serial.println("Required file 1");
    myFile = theSD.open("1.mp3");
  }
  if(id == 2){
    Serial.println("Required file 2");
    myFile = theSD.open("2.mp3");
  }
  if(id == 3){
    Serial.println("Required file 3");
    myFile = theSD.open("3.mp3");
  }

  // Verify file open
  if (!myFile)
    {
      Serial.println("File open error");
    }
  // Send first frames to be decoded
  err_t err = theAudio->writeFrames(AudioClass::Player0, myFile);
  if ((err != AUDIOLIB_ECODE_OK) && (err != AUDIOLIB_ECODE_FILEEND))
    {
      Serial.println("File Read Error!");
      myFile.close();
    }
  theAudio->startPlayer(AudioClass::Player0);
}

Required file 1

Hi @Vassily98 ,

I think this question was also asked on Stackoverflow, but I will also post a copy of my answer here.
If you try this and run into new problems, please let us know and we can continue to investigate.

To analyze a stack dump the Spresense full SDK provide a tool where you can specify two files as arguments. One is your saved log file, and the other one is the system map file. Doing that you should be able to get the stack trace. If you have build your software with the Arduino IDE you should be able to find where your map file is located in the Arduino IDE log window. Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Show verbose output during and select compilation and when you build your sketch you should be able to find where your build folder is. Normally this folder would be located in /tmp and look something like this:

/tmp/arduino_build_724727/

Fetch the full SDK from github:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:sonydevworld/spresense.git

Change directory to the SDK:

$cd spresense/sdk
spresense/sdk$ ./tools/callstack.py -h
Usage: python ./tools/callstack.py <System.map> <stackdump.log>

Now just specify the location of your files:

./tools/callstack.py /tmp/arduino_build_724727/output.map dump.log
