For Pi Zero

apt install build-essential git raspberrypi-kernel-headers

For some reason this installs an ARM64 toolchain on a 32-bit Raspberry Pi Zero along with a ton of other stuff that seems unrelated.

git clone https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard
cd seeed-voicecard
sudo ./install.sh

Installation will take quite some time.

Disable internal sound devices and reduce memory consumption.

/boot/config.txt:

REBOOT
