Installation

For this demo, you need to:

1. Download and install STM32CubeIDE, which is an all-in-one multi-OS development tool for STM32 microcontrollers.
2. Download STM32Cube MCU Package for STM32F4 series and extract it somewhere on your computer.

AccessKey

Porcupine requires a valid Picovoice AccessKey at initialization. AccessKey acts as your credentials when using Porcupine SDKs. You can get your AccessKey for free. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret. Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey.

Usage

In the demo project, there is a separate build configuration for each supported languages. In order to activate a specific configuration:

1. Click Project > Build Configuration > Set Active
2. Select the target configuration

Then, to compile and run the demo project on a STM32f411 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 stm32f469i-disco folder from this repository, and then press the Finish button.
3. Go to the folder where you extracted STM32Cube MCU Package for STM32F4 series, and then copy the contents of the /Middlewares/ST/STM32_Audio/Addons/PDM folder to /Middlewares/ST/STM32_Audio/Addons/PDM.
4. Select the stm32f411e-disco-demo project inside the Project Explorer window
5. Replace ACCESS_KEY in both main.c and main_multi.c with your AccessKey obtained from Picovoice Console
6. Click Project > Build Project
7. Connect the board to the computer and press Run > Debug
8. There are two build configurations in this project: Single wake word demo, and Multiple wake words demo; choose one of them in the Qualifier window and press ok

⚠️ printf() uses the SWO connector and the trace port 0. For more information, refer

to STM32 microcontroller debug toolbox

, Chapter 7.

For single wake-word demos, you can identify the default keyword for each language by referring to the pv_params.h file. Within this file, locate the language section enclosed by:

#if defined(__PV_LANGUAGE_{LANGUAGE_NAME}__)
...
#endif

The default keyword for each language will be listed next to the // wake-word comment.

Below are the LED colors associated with supported wake words for the multiple wake words demo:

• Porcupine
• Picovoice
• Bumblebee
• Alexa

Create Custom Wake Word

1. Copy the UUID of the board printed at the beginning of the session to the serial port monitor.
2. Go to Picovoice Console to create a model for Porcupine wake word engine.
3. Select Arm Cortex-M as the platform when training the model.
4. Select STM32 as the board type and provide the UUID of the chipset on the board.

The model is now being trained. You will be able to download it within a few hours.

Import the Custom Wake Word

1. Download your custom voice model(s) from Picovoice Console.
2. Decompress the zip file. The model for Porcupine wake word is located in two files: A binary .ppn file, and as a .h header file containing a C array version of the binary model.
3. Copy the contents of the array inside the .h header file and update the DEFAULT_KEYWORD_ARRAY value in /stm32f411e-disco/Inc/pv_params.h in the language section for which the model is trained.
