Digi ConnectCore 6UL

Digi ConnectCore 6UL Starter Kit

Digi ConnectCore 6

• NXP i.MX6 processor has a documented errata (ERR004512) whereby the maximum performance of the Gigabit FEC is limited to 400Mbps (total for Tx and Rx)
• When using softAP mode on Band A on the Qualcomm AR6233, channels used for Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) are not supported
• The Qualcomm AR6233 firmware does not support the following configuration modes:
  • Concurrent modes involving P2P mode, such as P2P + softAP or P2P + STA
  • Bluetooth + softAP + STA concurrent mode
• A maximum of five clients are supported when using Qualcomm's AR6233 in softAP mode
• A maximum of ten connected devices are supported when using Qualcomm's AR6233 Bluetooth Low Energy mode
• When using TrustFence encrypted images secure boot support, the CAAM will hang the processor when trying to authenticate an encrypted kernel image after a failed attempt. Hence the target needs to be reset after an authentication failure.
