2.3.10. Limitations

2.3.10.1. PDK

  1. PDK examples do not support SMP mode. Some of examples still support build in SMP mode but these binaries are not supported or validated.

  2. 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 J721E

2.3.10.2. ENET

  • Scatter-gather functionality is currently supported only for packet transmission.

  • gPTP stack is supported only in FreeRTOS.
