Well guys, since some of you wanted to use the HiFace 1 on RaspyFi, here’s how to get it working. Basically all you need to do is compiling it’s drivers, and execute it on boot. I plan to include those drivers on next release of RaspyFi.

Let’s start:

In order to build the driver you need to install your kernel-headers, the build-essential package and git-core binaries, this is quite a hefty amount of data, so make sure you have at least 600 mb free on your SD Card:

apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install git

Now, we’ll clone the git repository

git clone git://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio.git

Then, we are ready to build our driver:

cd snd-usb-asyncaudio
make

Then, we’ll start the module by typing:

sudo insmod snd-usb-asyncaudio.ko

Then, we should add the module to /etc/modules in order to make it start at system boot.

Et voilà! Hiface on Linux, so on RaspyFi!
