# 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).
|
|
* For P2P connections Digi recommends "Negotiated GO" modes. The QCA6564
|
|
devices (ConnectCore 6UL) running a 4.14 kernel version fail to join to
|
|
autonomous groups.
|
|
* Trustfence is not yet supported on U-Boot v2018.03.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* When using wireless concurrent mode as the wireless interface is shared
|
|
between several different functionalities performance is reduced.
|
|
* When using wireless concurrent mode Digi recommends to keep the different
|
|
modes on the same frequency channels. For example, when configuring access
|
|
point mode on channel 36 on band A, the recommendation would be to connect
|
|
to the same channel both in station mode and WiFi direct so that the radio
|
|
performance is optimized.
|
|
* When working as an access point, DFS capable channels in band A are not
|
|
currently supported.
|
|
* The QCA6564 wireless chip does not support Wake On Wireless LAN.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* Digi Embedded Yocto
|
|
* The following features are not supported in this release for the ConnectCore 8X platform:
|
|
* Trustfence (TM)
|
|
* Digi Remote Manager
|
|
