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.

• If TrustFence (TM) image encryption support is enabled, the uSD image will boot a signed U-Boot only.
• 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).

Digi ConnectCore 6UL

• 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.

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

Digi ConnectCore 6 SBC

• The Micrel PHY KSZ9031 may take between five and six seconds to auto-negotiate with Gigabit switches
