Cloning the Porcupine Repository

If using SSH, clone the Porcupine repository with:

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:Picovoice/porcupine.git

If using HTTPS, then type:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Picovoice/porcupine.git

Running the Porcupine Microcontroller Demos

For the single wake word demo, the default wake word is Porcupine; and for the multiple wake words demo Porcupine, Picovoice, Bumblebee, and Alexa are considered as the keywords.

STM32F407G-DISC1 (Arm Cortex-M4)

The demo project can be found on GitHub in STM32F407G-DISC1 folder.

Installation

  1. Download and install STM32CubeIDE, which is an all-in-one multi-OS development tool for STM32 microcontrollers.
  2. Follow the steps mentioned in readme for STM32Cube middleware for audio PDM to PCM conversion.

Usage

In order to compile and run the demo project on a STM32F407 discovery board, perform the following steps:

  1. Open STM32CubeIDE
  2. Click File > Open Projects from file system... to display the Import Projects dialog box. Select the stm32f407g-disc1 folder from this repository, and then press the Finish button.
