Release Notes 11.00.00
Attention
Also refer to individual module pages for more details on each feature, unsupported features, important usage guidelines.
Note
The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination. Unless explicitly noted otherwise, the SW modules would work in both FreeRTOS and no-RTOS environment.

Experimental Features
Attention
Features listed below are early versions and should be considered as “experimental”.
Users can evaluate the feature, however the feature is not fully tested at TI side.
TI would not support these feature on public e2e.
Experimental features will be enabled with limited examples and SW modules.
Feature |
Module |
|---|---|
Ethernet traffic sharing accross multiple cores, called Ethernet Firmware |

Dependent Tools and Compiler Information
Attention
It is recommended to use the TIFS version provided with the release for ensuring compatibility between TIFS and device manager. Using the TIFS from different MCU+SDK release is not recomended and may cause TIFS/ DM functionality to break.

Upgrade and Compatibility Information
Attention
When migrating from oldder version to 11.00.00, see Bootloader Migration Guidelines for more details
This section lists changes which could affect user applications developed using older SDK versions. Read this carefully to see if you need to do any changes in your existing application when migrating to this SDK version relative to previous SDK version. Also refer to older SDK version release notes to see changes in earlier SDKs.
