Problems Building VoiceCard Driver On Raspberry PI Zero 2W

Products & Technology ReSpeaker
#1

Hello, I am trying to build the driver as explained here - GitHub - HinTak/seeed-voicecard: This is an enhancement fork with the explicit aim of supporting current shipping Raspbian/Ubuntu kernels without requiring downgrading. Please donate at https://hintak.github.io/ if it works for you. Use vX.Y branch for kernel version vX.Y. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and the 2 mic hat. I am on branch v6.6 as that matches my kernal version. When I run the install script I get to the part where it is runing make -j4…

It slowly adds periods like it’s working, but eventually the ssh connection seems to hang. Is there any trick to get this working?

I have the same issue. I also tried to download the prebuild image, but that doesn’t work for me either.

It’s possible that some dependencies were not properly installed or configured. Try running the following commands to ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed before running the build:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake

Thank you for the response. I ended up going back to a 32-bit legacy version of Raspbian as that helped me past this problem.
This is good enough for my application but if I have a need to rebuild I will try this.

I have the same problem, nothing seems to work. I am following the instructions here from a YouTuber known as Jeff, here. His instructions are pretty clean and straight forward, I really like his layout of instructions and all of the included hardware. I am using the same devices ie, Pi zero 2 w and 2-mic hat, but can’t seem to get my device to capture a sound recording, I get at play back is a faint white-noise sound. I am starting to think that it could be my sound card that is defective.

Has anyone actually got the 2 mic hat working on a zero 2? I have gotten to the point where i confirmed the kernel loading and sync’d The kernel header is visible and there’s where it ends. I have tried newest, legacy, and experimental kernels. I could match a header to the kernel but it wouldn’t load dtoverlay or the header was matched. That is two days work.
