Hi All,
I have a Raspberry Pi Zero v2 with DietPi installed.
I would like to get “ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT to Raspberry Pi” from SeedStudio running on it. (sound card)
Have tried installing ALSA and the drivers for the HAT but “aplay -l” shows “no sound cards”.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Maybe something @MichaIng could help with
Might need drivers/application for the hat…
The problem might be, it’s taylor made for raspbian, not DietPi
And in the install.sh script, it seems to enable i2s as well
Also…might take a peek at the wiki
Thank you WarHawk.
I have tested it on various Debian versions now and it seems the drivers does not work on Bookworm and Bullseye. It does work on Buster.
DietPi does not support Debian Buster anymore so I will have to reach out to SeedStudio and see if there are any updates available.
Well it’s not supported by Debian and reached EOL last year in general Debian -- Debian “buster” Release Information
Yeah that install script requires updates for recent RPi OS versions and the new firmware stack.
@JohanChristiaan did you migrate to the new firmware stack already, as offered by the last DietPi updates?
dpkg -l | grep linux-
Thank you for the suggestion Michalng.
I have started all over again installing the latest versions of everything and then tried to install the drivers for ReSpeaker 2-Mics. It did not work.
As I mentioned earlier, the drivers does not seem to even work on the latest Raspbian Bookworm.
As said, this cannot work as the ReSpeaker installation script needs an update. You would require an RPi system with old Bullseye/Linux 6.1 kernel and firmware stack, which we however removed from our downloads in the meantime.
Yes, same problem there. It should work with Raspberry Pi OS legacy, which ships with Bullseye and the old kernel. But I would rather talk to ReSpeaker support and ask them to update their installer script. Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm has bene released 2 years ago, and soon they Trixie is coming, which means the old Bullseye downloads will be gone.
