Gabriel Valcazar 8ec2635654 wpewebkit: add workaround to improve memory usage in ConnectCore Demo app
Even though we launch said demo with WebKit's page cache disabled, WebKit still
caches most of the demo's contents for two reasons:

    * The demo is browsed using a non-HTTP(S) protocol (file://)
    * The demo is contained within the same domain (same-site browsing)

This can lead to unexpected behavior on platforms with small RAM size. Add
a workaround to force WebKit to create a new web process everytime we open
a page on the demo, deleting the previous process and freeing its memory.

An alternative solution would be to alter our demo to make sure a page's
resources are correctly freed when exiting said page, but this provides a
general solution that ensures memory cleanup in all cases, albeit with slightly
longer loading times.

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 fail to join autonomous groups.

ConnectCore 93

  • ConnectCore 93 System-on-Module (SOM)
    • Trustfence
      • It is not possible to close a device using U-Boot v2024.04 for Secure boot on a device with CPU revision A0. However, it is possible to boot v2024.04 signed images on an already closed device.

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
