FP-AUD-SMARTMIC1 Firmware Package

Note

FP-AUD-SMARTMIC1 software package is not available anymore in this repository

In this repository, the * ./Middlewares/ST/STM32_Audio middleware libraries and the related projects (demos, applications, and examples) are not available here as they (the middleware libraries) are subject to some restrictive license terms requiring the user's approval via a "click thru" procedure.

If needed, they can be found inside the full firmware package available on our website st.com and downloadable from here. You will be prompted to login or to register in case you have no account.

Overview

FP-AUD-SMARTMIC1 provides a firmware running on STM32 which acquires audio signals of four digital MEMS microphones, elaborates them by means of embedded DSP libraries and streams the processed audio to both an USB host and a loudspeaker connected to the relevant expansion board. A communication infrastructure is provided as well, allowing the control of the device status and the setup of the running algorithm from a host PC.

FP-AUD-SMARTMIC1 software features:

• Complete middleware to build audio applications using ST digital MEMS microphones and STA350BW Sound Terminal® 2.1-channel high-efficiency digital audio output system.
• AcousticBF library provides an implementation for a real-time adaptive beamforming algorithm
• AcousticEC library provides an implementation for a real-time echo cancellation
• AcousticSL library provides an implementation for a real-time sound source localization algorithm
• dB SPL estimation
• Communication to a host PC via STDCmdP protocol and dedicated PC software
• Easy portability across different MCU families thanks to STM32Cube
• Free user-friendly license terms

Examples implementation available for:

• NUCLEO-F446RE board equipped with X-NUCLEO-CCA01M1, an expansion board based on the STA350BW Sound Terminal® 2.1-channel high-efficiency digital audio output system, X-NUCLEO-CCA02M2, an evaluation board based on ST digital MEMS microphones and STEVAL-MIC001Vx, STEVAL-MIC002Vx or STEVAL-MIC003Vx digital microphones.
• STEVAL-BCNKT01V1 BlueCoin kit
