NanoPiM4 question

Hi all, I've bought a NanoPiM4 SBC from FriendlyElec and would like to fit a DAC hat to it for use with a music streamer , I've done this successfully on a normal pi by loading a dtoverlay in a config file. However this is not an option on the Nano as it runs a version of Ubuntu not raspbian. I guess I need to load a module for it but I don't know which one or how to go about it - any help gratefuly received.

Hi.
Can you tell me what model this is? The M4 has another pin-out than the RPi's. So not all hat's will work.
Maybe you could alter the script with the right pin-out for the M4 to make it work.

I don't know why you would want that on the M4. The Raspberry's use this because sound is very bad on-board. But sound is just fine on the M4.

Better go here with your question.

It`s stupid, but it seems only to work with images from them. I can`t find a custom installation guide for this.
It also supports other sbc`s. But it seems only sbc`s that don`t have on-board sound, or just have awful on-board sound.
Ask for a RK3399 image. A RockPro64 image should also work on the M4.

Here a 47 pages manual. Not a word on how to install the software yourself.

Hi Nico, I posted on runeaudio and received this

The Nanopim4 is not supported by RuneAudio

Why do you want to use this? The 3.5mm audio port works well on the NanoPi M4.
With the Raspberry there is a problem with the audio, I think because of bad shielding. So for that this is useful. They support the Odroid C1/2. They don`t have an audio jack.
The others they support also don`t have audio jacks.

Does it have any other abilities you need?

Because I need a DAC with analogue outputs to connect to my hi fi amplifier

The 3.5mm audio jack is analog. You just need the right adapter cable for it.
It's an RCA to 3.5mm audio jack. The signal is identical in both cables, it's only the connector that's different.

I'm an audiophile but thanks for the suggestion
