Upgrade and Compatibility Information
N/A
Known Limitations
The situations have not been tested or validated:
- Stress testing or throughput testing of connection
- Power optimization
- Testing of adding buffers to the radio while it is running
- The testing of commands in
generic.his limited - The testing of fields in the
statsstructures is limited
The SW has the following limitations:
- Does not support scheduling conflict resolution (overlapping commands)
- Does not support privacy features
- Does not support advertising extensions
- Does not support sysconfig
Versioning
This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
