seeed-voicecard
The drivers of ReSpeaker Mic Hat and ReSpeaker 4 Mic Array for Raspberry Pi.
Install seeed-voicecard
Get the seeed voice card source code. and install all linux kernel drivers
git clone https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard
cd seeed-voicecard
sudo ./install.sh
sudo reboot
ReSpeaker Mic Hat
While the upstream wm8960 codec is not currently supported by current Pi kernel builds, upstream wm8960 has some bugs, we had fixed it. we must it build manually.
Check that the sound card name matches the source code seeed-voicecard.

If you want to change the alsa settings, You can use sudo alsactl --file=/etc/voicecard/wm8960_asound.state store
to save it.
Next step
Go to https://github.com/respeaker/mic_hat to build voice enabled projects with Google Assistant SDK or Alexa Voice Service.
ReSpeaker 4 Mic Array
The 4 Mic Array uses ac108 which includes 4 ADCs, we also write ac108 rapberry pi linux kernel driver.
Check that the sound card name matches the source code seeed-voicecard.

If you want to change the alsa settings, You can use sudo alsactl --file=/etc/voicecard/ac108_asound.state store
to save it.
Test:
#for ReSpeaker 2-mic
#It will capture sound an playback on hw:1
arecord -f cd -Dhw:1 | aplay -Dhw:1
#for ReSpeaker 4-mic
#It will capture sound on AC108 and save as a.wav
arecord -Dac108 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 4 a.wav
uninstall seeed-voicecard
If you want to upgrade the driver , you need uninstall the driver first.
pi@raspberrypi:~/seeed-voicecard $ sudo ./uninstall.sh
