Software for Audio Amp SHIM

The easiest way to set everything up is to use thePirate Audio software and installer, which configures the I2S and SPI interface, and installs Mopids and custom plugins that let you play music from Spotify and local files.

Installation method:

  1. Use a memory card with the latest version of the Raspberry Pi OS
  2. Connect to a WiFi network
  3. Open a terminal and type the following commands:
    git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio
    cd pirate-audio/mopidy
    sudo ./install.sh
    
  4. Restart your Raspberry Pi

See the manual or tutorial for more information.
Alternatively, you can configure SHIM Audio Amp without installing Mopida, using Alsa in Raspberry Pi OS by adding the following line in /boot/config.txt file:

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
gpio=25=op,dh

#dtparam=audio=on
