Known Issues

• ^[1] wl1271_sdio read or write errors when the WiFi interface goes down

Workaround: Apply the software patch, 0001-pcm049-wl12xx-use-set_power-to-control-WL_EN.patch, to the Linux source directory before enabling WiFi.

• WiFi requires an inserted SD Card at SDMMC1 (X11)
• ^[2] Compile errors when attempting to build the OpenGL DDK
• Display and DVI does not work when used parallel
• Dual Display only for X
• Nameserver configuration wrong
• USB camera doesn't start after resume
• Network issue if network cable is hotplugged after reboot
• BSP fails to build due to wrong Linux kernel MD5SUM for linux-3.4.tar.xz source

Workaround: See Update the Linux kernel MD5SUM in the Quickstart

• Dead links for PTXdist BSP source files

Workaround: See Images Building Images in the Quickstart. Use the alternative download link for the files listed below, download the file, place it in phyCORE-OMAP4-PD13.1.0/src directory in its compressed form, and restart the build process by calling ptxdist go again.qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz --- Download linkorc-0.4.16.tar.gz --- Download Linku-boot-2011.12.tar.bz2 --- Download Link
