[1] Interface requires additional configuration, such as pinmuxing. It may be possible to change the software configuration to utilize this interface even if it is not being set in the board's default configuration. Please see TI's AM57xx technical reference manual for more information on the various modes each pin can be muxed to.

PHYTEC Known Issues

• Kernel
  • Graphics: omapdrm-pvr fails to load or results in kernel panic: When attempting to use either the HDMI or LCD interfaces with the Weston init scripts and other PowerVR examples, the system hangs on a kernel panic. As a result, HDMI, LCD, and DSS are currently disabled in software until the error is resolved.
  • Audio: aplay results in a mcasp transmit buffer underflow error and MMU/DSP failures. As a result tlv320aic3007 codec and related interfaces are currently disabled in the software until the error is resolved.
  • Power: VBUS_DET implementation prevents complete poweroff. USB2 uses the PMIC VBUS_DET circuit, and when VBUS is provided by the processor (USB2 in host mode), the USB2_VBUS signal connected to the PMIC generates a WAKE event.As a result, the PMIC powers the system back up as soon as the shutdown finishes.
  • USB: USB2 OTG fails to transition from host to device mode: USB2 is configured for 'otg' mode by default. When the system turns on, it will properly be detected as a device when plugged into a host machine. Plug and un-plug events are detected. If a device is plugged in to the USB2 port, triggering host mode behavior from the system, it will remain in host mode until the next warm reset or cold boot.
  • Ethernet: SOMs populated with AM572x silicon revision 2.0, ethernet auto-negotiates but fails to acquire an IP from DHCP or communicate when provided a static IP. There are no issues with silicon revision 1.0 or 1.1.
    

• Yocto

  • Package ltp-ddt fails to build with arago-core-tisdk-image. Current workaround: Remove ltp-ddt from sources/meta-arago/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-test.bb
• U-boot
  • Processor fan is not enabled in u-boot.
