Semi-Official Volumio 3 on NanoPi Neo2 and Neo3

No, I am currently running the Volumiobuster-3.186-2021-12-29-nanopineo2 image. So no OTA from the “-buster” image?

Perhaps you misunderstood, from a “volumio” buster branch OTA is not an issue at all.
The limitation is that you cannot do this from a “volumiobuster” beta branch, which your 3.186 is.

hi @gkkpch ,

I am trying to connect the NanoPi NEO2 running your image with a generic I2S DAC, but I can’t get sound out of it

is the I2S configured in master mode or in slave mode?

See updated OP

Note OP, version 3.512 now available for Nanopi Neo2 and Neo3

neo2/neo3 known issues: Volumio 3 never worked with wlan devices.
Meanwhile issue localised, in test, update expected withing a few days.

Thanks for the firmware for Neo3. Works great! spdif sounds good. Tell me please. Is there a new firmware with Wi-Fi coming soon? Ready to test if you need help.

There are no plans for it, sorry :man_shrugging:

Hi, this is fully functional image? have limitations? I have a Volumio licence, but I beleav that nanoPI Neo is a better product then raspberry… thanks.

Yes, fully functional, no known limitations except for the choice of wireless dongles

very thanks for answer

New image 3.569 with Tidal Flac, see post #1

Hi gkkpch, I used with success NEO3 with external DAC i i2S but no master clock input. Now I would like to do some experiments by sending the clock from the outside, I think this lowers the jitter terribly. I have potentially seen master clock solutions online even with two different frequencies. How do I understand what type of frequency I need to send for correct operation in PCM? could I send for example a 16.9344 and be sure it works? 48MHz? do I have to change the clock depending on the resolution of the songs? for example coming from TIDAL streaming? thank you for your time.

There is nothing I can do to help, as you can see from post #1, images are released as-is. I will probably skip my support for the neo3/neo2 board soon as since a few months there are images from @nikkov with full myvolumio support, which have excellent flexibility when it comes to i2s maste/slave options.With my version, it is fixed.

thanks for your time and for the fast responce to my questions.

Hi, can you help? I have tried your Nanopi Neo3 image using SPDIF it works, however, the Left and Right channels get swapped on every switch on, Have tried it on several DACs but the same result. I also have tried another Nanopi Neo3, but the same behaviour. I am very puzzled!
