The new DVKs of the cc8mn, cc8mm and ccmp1 have a new ftdi usb to serial chip that is recognized as a thermal device by default. With the install_usb_driver.sh script this driver is replaced to a USB to serial driver. This script is included for the needed platforms in the zip installer provided in the getting started. https://onedigi.atlassian.net/browse/DEL-8126 Signed-off-by: Francisco Gil <francisco.gilmartinez@digi.com> |

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, ConnectCore 6 Plus, and ConnectCore 8M Nano) fail to join autonomous groups.
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.
