Fixed Issues
This list contains all bugfixes in: v9.10
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RCL-957 | CC27XX: BLE: Move ADC Noise structs from BUFRAM to SYSRAM to avoid risks associated with misaligned accesses to device memory |

|---|---|
| RCL-343 | PBE NESB - Address mismatch counter not implemented |
Upgrade and Compatibility Information
IEEE 802.15.4 API
The function RCL_IEEE_getPartialFrame has been deprecated. Use RCL_IEEE_readPartialFrame instead.
Known Limitations
The following scenarios have limited test coverage in the RCL module tests:
- Stress testing or throughput testing of connection
- Testing of adding buffers to the radio while it is running
- The testing of fields in the
statsstructures
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.
