2.1.11. Limitations¶
2.1.11.1. PDK¶
PDK examples do not support SMP mode. Some of examples still support build in SMP mode but these binaries are not supported or validated.
TI Clang compiler does not enable O3 optimization level and Thumb2 mode which were enabled by default with TI ARM CGT compiler. This has an impact on driver throughput. E.g. Ethernet performance has reduced by ~20% on J721S2
2.1.11.2. Ethernet¶
Scatter gather on Receive (THOST) path functionality needs additional buffer configuration, hence not support fully.
Ethernet Netconf feature is an experimental feature with limited tests. It supports only string based YANG configurations.
2.1.12. Patches¶
2.1.12.1. Safertos 9.6¶
Patch to support the safertos 9.6 is included in the package at <pdk_install_dir>/docs/patches/SafeRTOS-009-006-patch.zip. Readme to apply the patch is included in the zip file. Extract the above zip file and follow the instructions provided in the read me file.
