# Installation
Digi Embedded Yocto is composed of a set of different Yocto layers that work in
parallel. The layers are specified on a [manifest](https://github.com/digi-embedded/dey-manifest/blob/zeus/default.xml) file.
To install, please follow the instructions at the dey-manifest [README](https://github.com/digi-embedded/dey-manifest)

# Known Issues and Limitations
This is a list of known issues and limitations at the time of release. An
updated list can be found on the online documentation.
* Firmware update
* The software update package must be located in the root level of the
update media (subfolders are not yet supported).
* Cloud Connector
* Remote file system management fails with long file names and paths
(over 255 characters).
* Wireless
* Performance of the wireless interface is reduced when using concurrent mode,
as the wireless interface is shared between several different
functionalities.
* When using wireless concurrent mode, Digi recommends you keep the different
modes on the same frequency channels. For example, when configuring access
point mode on channel 36 in the 5GHz band, connect to the same channel both
in station mode and Wi-Fi direct so that the radio performance is optimized.
* When working as an access point, DFS-capable channels in the 5GHz band are
not supported.
* For P2P connections Digi recommends "Negotiated GO" modes. The QCA6564
devices (ConnectCore 6UL and ConnectCore 8M Nano) fail to join autonomous
groups.
* Trustfence is not yet supported on the ConnectCore 8M Nano.
## ConnectCore 8M Nano
* ConnectCore 8M Nano System-on-Module (SOM)
* CPU wake-up sources are not yet supported
* ConnectCore 8M Nano DVK
* The maximum bitrate for CAN interface is 125 Kbits/s. This is a software
limitation from the CAN controller.
## ConnectCore 8X
* i.MX8QXP Processor
* GPU maximum performance reduced. The maximum frequency targets are 850 MHz
for the shaders and 700 MHz for the core. However, in this hardware release
the maximum frequency is limited to 650 MHz for the shaders and 600 MHz for
the core, with the corresponding performance reduction. These targets will
be met in future releases of the hardware.
* BSDL operation is not supported. It will be available in future releases
of the hardware.
## ConnectCore 6UL
* ConnectCore 6UL System-on-Module (SOM)
* The UART connected to the Bluetooth chip on early versions of the ConnectCore
6UL system-on-module (hardware version < 4) cannot properly execute flow
control. To work around this issue, UART1 of these SOM versions has been
configured to operate at 115200 bps and without hardware flow control,
reducing the maximum throughput of this interface.
* The QCA6564 wireless chip does not support Wake On Wireless LAN.
# Support Contact Information
For support questions please contact Digi Technical Support:
* [Enterprise Support](https://mydigi.secure.force.com/customers/)
* [Product Technical Support](https://www.digi.com/support#support-tools)
* [Support forum](https://www.digi.com/support/forum/)
When you contact Digi Technical Support, include important system details and
device information to help Digi resolve the issue more quickly.
1. In the device, run the command 'sysinfo'. This generates the following file:
/tmp/&lt;current timestamp>.txt.gz.
2. Attach the &lt;current timestamp>.txt.gz file to your support ticket.
