This tutorial will help you build your own Amazon’s Alexa using a Raspberry Pi and MATRIX Creator, the first Microphone Array add-on for Raspberry Pi.
We will use Alexa Voice Services (AVS), it is the service used by Amazon Echo that allows us to accomplish many of the challenging tasks in this project.
Step 3: Setting up the Software (This is from GitHub Quickstart)
Welcome to the MATRIX Creator! To enjoy your new board you’ll need to set it up. First, you need to have Raspbian installed on your Raspberry Pi. If you don’t have it, you can download it and follow the instructions.
Then you need to install the software that will allow you to program the MATRIX Creator. To do it, you need to configure APT. The following steps should do it:
echo"deb http:packages.matrix.one/matrix-creator/ ./" | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list
Now reboot the Raspberry Pi. After rebooting, the FPGA and SAM3 MCU will be programmed automatically. That is, after every reboot the FPGA will have the default firmware.
