Hi, I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B & HiFiBerry DAC+ When I run HiFiBerryOS - it just restarts continually while booting. I’ve tried reformatting the SD card twice. Any ideas?

  Create a file "noreboot" on the FAT partition and boot again. This should disable the reboot loop, but we need to check what's wrong as this should not happen. 
  After the system is up and running, run the command

  cat /tmp/reboot

  Hi - "noreboot" seems to have got it up and running, when I connect over SSH and run the command suggested...

   

  # cat /tmp/reboot
  Adding dacplus to config.txt

  Ok, this looks like it adds the DAC+ driver, but doesn't recognize the card after the reboot. What's the output of 
  
  aplay -l

  Funnily enough that's my next problem - it boots but no sound is produced.

  I've got two identical units (i.e. 2x Pis, both with HiFiBerry DACs) and both have the same problem.

  
  # aplay -l
  aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

  Hi - I downloaded from https://www.hifiberry.com/hifiberryos

  I didn't check the actual version, but on the page it says "20200727"

  Please check the actual version (either in the system menu or the filename)

  Ok, I recommend to try the 20090805 release instead:

  @Jakg : did you find a solution for the detection of your HiFiBerry DAC+ on the Pi 2 ?

  I have the same problem with a DAC+ DSP (which seems to use the same driver) on a Pi 2.

  @Olsen I did not.

  Looks like the required overlay files are missing. This should be easy to fix in a bugfix release:

  @Jakg : you can either wait for the bugfix release or apply the quick fix I just added to the bug report (#158, see above).

  Working on the bugfix. It'll be released probably later today

  Great!  :-)

  By the way; is 20201020 officially released? https://www.hifiberry.com/hifiberryos/ shows 'Current version: 20200727', but the links point to images of 20201020. https://github.com/hifiberry/hifiberry-os/releases shows 20200908 as current version. Confusing.

  Yes, it's "officially" released as the latest version. Just forgot to update the timestamp on the web site as this is independent from the update system :(
  But 20201022 should be ready soon.
