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 J721E
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.
