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
