Fixed In This Release
- 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.
New In This Release
- Kernel
- Connectivity: The WiLink8 module is now supported and enabled.
- Display: The 7" LCD-018 display panel with ft5x06 capacitive touch is now supported and enabled.
- Input: FocalTech EDT-FT5406 Capacitive Touch Controller is now supported and enabled.
- RTC: External RTC RV-4162-C7 is now supported and enabled.
Known Issues
PHYTEC Known Issues
- Kernel
- Audio: aplay results in occasional MMU/DSP failures. There is no current workaround. System may require reboot when this is observed.
- 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.
- Display: When HDMI and LCD-018 are both enabled in the DTS, the LCD-018 display does not output data properly. The workaround is to enable one or the other, and LCD-018 is currently the default.
- General: a kernel panic often occurs during the poweroff process after it appears to complete. There is no current workaround, but it has a low impact.
- 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. Workaround implemented in build to remove ltp-ddt.
- U-boot
- Processor fan is not enabled in u-boot.
