PiFi Digi+ with RasbPi 4B

Hi all,

I have an issue using the PiFi Digi+ (equal to Hifiberry Digi) on my RasbPi 4B 1GB. I have the same issue as was discussed here:

Thread

Should I change to Rpi 4B?

Hello.

5 years ago I bought Rpi (3B I suppose) with HiFiBerry. It's working great.

But I want to install netflix plugin and for that I need to reinstall whole system (don't know why but even Youtube plugin is not working).

Raspberry Pi 4B is out and I'm thinking of upgrading whole system - once again with LibreElec. So I have few questions.

1. Should I upgrade Rpi 3 to Rpi 4? (For now I don't want to use 4K, but maybe in 3-5 years I'll change my TV).

2. Which version 2GB or maybe 4GB?

3. Is HiFiBerry…

and here:

HiFiBerry Digi Pro on RPi 4 no go

So, conclusion is, for some reason the board is not correctly recognized during startup and the WM8804 chip goes into HW mode. When I reset the chip by shorting pin 6 to GND and then doing a soft restart on the RasbPi, the Digi board will be recognized correctly.

As there is no solution so far, after each power cycle of the RasbPi I have to manually do the WM8804 reset to get the combination working.

My question would be if there is any SW solution to the problem (e.g. a script that restarts the Digi board after the RasbPi is powered up).

Thanks,

Sascha
