Out of Box Experience

Easy to setup hardware • No fly-wires or complicated cable setup.

• Mounts directly on a Raspberry Pi

• Only hookup required is USB power and speaker connection

• Plastic frame (pillar) included to help evaluation in a typical mic-speaker placement

Easy to setup software • Microsemi github repository includes Linux

SPI and I2S drivers • Makefile script automates much of the setup

process: – Auto-builds and installs drivers – Automatically downloads and installs Amazon and

Sensory projects – Automates much of the Amazon Sample app
