Fixed in this Release
N/A - This is the first Release of this BSP
New in this Release
N/A - This is the first Release of this BSP
Known Issues
- Boot argument update doesn't properly save the settings to the SDCard or NAND store for subsequent boots
Workaround: Generate a different boot.cfg with the desired default settings
- DHCP doesn't currently work with the KITL handoff between EBOOT and NK
Workaround: Use static IP addresses
- DEBUGCHK reached in exfat:storedisk.cpp, and 2 places in the time/notify code in Microsofts pricate code (DST), only seen in Checked Image, but continuring passed the breaks continues without issues
- Incomplete driver support (RTC, Audio, SGX/PVR, SPI, CAN, WiFi, GMII, EEPROMs, UART2)
