HiFiBerry digi plus2 no overlay selectable

Just switched to OSMC with Rp4b.
Under hardware support, the HiFiBerry Digi overlay is selectable and configured in the config editor with dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi and onboard sound disabled, but the correct overlay for my card is dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi-pro which isn’t editable in the config editor or listed in hardware support menu. The standard digi overlay gives me sound but it’s missing clock info found in the digi-pro overlay.
The database for the pro version of this card is in the overlays folder when looking over the sd card on a pc, confused why It isn’t listed in hardware support. Please advice.

Thanks

Anyone? Can the digi-pro be added to osmc? The driver is there. Would it be possible for the kernel to be updated for this? Seems strange it was never added. Would really appreciate some insight on this. *Would simply renaming hifiberry-digi-pro database file to hifiberry-digi in the overlays folder then drive this soundcard correctly?

Will continue using the digi standard driver for now.

Edit: *just deleted the hifiberry-digi dtb file and renamed the hifiberry-digi-pro to that, and the card sounds much better now (sounds like the clocks are configuring properly, that’s the whole point of the pro version of the card).

Unfortunately I don’t have a card to test with otherwise I would make some changes.

No – if the overlay is not present, there isn’t support for this card.

Thanks for the reply. The database isn’t really different to the standard digi card, it just has additional info to control two clocks. I’d be happy to test something for you…

When was this card introduced? Maybe our kernel is just too old and predates it. We wouldn’t not build it otherwise

Roughly April 2022. It had compatibility issues with the rp4b 1.5 revision hardware so they released a compatible drive which is what I have.

OK, when we update Pi to Linux 6.6 the support should be there then.
