data_fuser.py segmentation faults during libmetawear.mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe().

panjarpanjar
in C++

I did a clean build/install the MetaWear-SDK-Python (0.6.1) and MetaWear-SDK-Cpp (0.17.0).

Then, to derive from data_fuser.py, first I ran data_fuser.py (unchanged, except adding the debug printfs) but the script seg faults when calling libmetawear.mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe() on line 38 (https://github.com/mbientlab/MetaWear-SDK-Python/blob/0.6.1/examples/data_fuser.py).
Here's the data_fuser.py (with added debug prints) and the activity log leading up to the crash:

If I comment out the mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe() then the output is:

    Update the board to firmware v1.4.4.

  • panjarpanjar

    Thanks Eric. Can you please provide the link to the instructions and the firmware?

  • panjarpanjar

    Thanks. Never mind. I got it.

  • panjarpanjar

    Eric:
    OK, after updating the firmware to 1.4.4 and latest software from the master branch, I ran the unit test suite and it results in FAILED (failures=2, errors=12, skipped=1). Is that normal?
    Am I missing something here?

    Thanks.

    I only asked you to update the firmware. Follow my instructions exactly; do not any more or any less.
