Known Issues[edit]

This section lists known issues observed in this release:

Audio[edit]

TI81XX
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00082447 Audio: Pop noise while powering up the codec due to the AIC3106 Codec hardware limitation None
SDOCM00095980 Audio over HDMI stops when the input on the TV is switched and brought back to HDMI or the cable is reconnected. None
SDOCM00096289 Audio: HDMI audio does not work with Sony Bravia TVs and some other TV models due to the incorrect audio infoframe data send out. None
SDOCM00096969 Audio: Kernel crash is observed at time of suspend to RAM due to the audio loop-back(using ALSA arecod/aplay utils)in progress. The crash is the result of accessing the mcasp registers after the clock is disables in the fist trigger from arecod app and called again by the aplay util. None


TI814X and TI813X
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00095561 Audio: HDMI auto cts clock cannot be reconfigured as multiple modules reuse the same clock source - sysclk20.
None.


Ethernet Switch[edit]

TI814X and TI813X
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00084809 cpsw: PTP time syncronization not happening when connected to Port 2 None
SDOCM00096415 davinci_mdio timeout error is seen and NFS timeout while running sata stress test None


MMC/SD[edit]

TI816X
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)

SD/MMC: card removal while IO is in progress causes system hang
None. It is recommended not to remove the card while I/O is in progress.
TI814X and TI813X
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00078276
SD/MMC: card's write protect status is not detected
Cause: The signal MMC1_SD_WP is by default not connected to pin AG4. Instead signal UART0_DSRn is connected.
So I2C2 on the daughter cards will be lost on using Write Protect functionality. Writes can happen on the SD/MMC card irrespective of whether the write protect switch on the card is on or off.
SDOCM00096733
SD/MMC: modular stress read write test fails when the card has ext3 partition
None.
SDOCM00096731
SD/MMC: MMC write protection doesn't work
None.

SDOCM00076137 SATA: On TI816X/TI814X platforms, SATA Link negotiation may fail when Gen3 disks are connected directly Connect the HDD behind a Gen2 PMP or force Gen2 mode of operation on the device(usually Gen3 devices come with jumpers for forcing Gen2 mode of operation)
SDOCM00096626 SATA: harddisks behind the eSATA hub doesn't work. None


USB[edit]

TI81XX
Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00087448 USB_Audio : DUT hangs for 8 to 10 sec when unpluging the USB audio device during playback Issue observed while using aplay utility, the aplay application does not exit after device disconnect. Recommended to stop the audio playback before unplugging of audio device.
SDOCM00088375 USB: Truncated packets with CRC error observed during transmit operation causing multiple resets while creating a file on HP flash drive The requires both (a) following the TI recommended USB PCB Design guideline and (b) SW workaround to fine-tune USBPHY calibration parameters. The SW patch is available as part of release package.
SDOCM00091461 USB: CPPI41DMA: TX DMA generates the early completion interrupt before last byte from endpoint TxFifo is transferred out. SW workaround is to poll till last byte is transferred out on bus, the patch available as part of release package.
SDOCM00095074 USB: Use CPPI41 RXDMA will impact when system load is high due to interconnect bridge delay during desc-update by DMA Fixed by SW workaround, due to DMA does not gaurantee rx transfer descriptor update is complete before generation of rx completion interrupt.
SDOCM00086734 USB: CPPI41DMA: Feature: TxFIFOEmpty interrupt logic is disabled in musb driver due to intermittent functional failures No SW workaround, The TxFifoEmpty interrupt feature does not work reliabely for non-isochrnous transfer.
SDOCM00086738 Extra IN token issue: While transferring file through usb-wifi client(to tftp server) & concurrent i/o to connected USB HDD, causes intermittent resets on the USB bus SW workaround is to configure the rx transfer in transparent DMA mode and handle USB data toggle appropriately. The workaround is included in the release package
SDOCM00091179 USB: MUSB spurious interrupt observed during Isochronous transfer. The PID/CRC errors interrupts gets cleared by USB DMA before CPU could read error status, thus making the interrupt spurious. No workaround. Though CRC errors of Isochronous does not impact functionally, this prevents application to take any further action in case of very bad USB signal quality.
SDOCM00086741 USB: While performing USBCV test with Remote wake-up capability(rndis) the EVM console freezes till test is completed. None
SDOCM00096335 USB: feeble, momentary audio glitch observed when new device inserted while playing audio out through usb headset None

Issue Identifier Issue Headline Known Workaround(s)
SDOCM00084561
USB: Dynamic detection of USB-ID pin not working on TI814X PG2 when device connected after linux bootup
Use onboard jumper J22/J23 (on TIEVM) to short (for host mode) and open (for device mode) to configure usb-id pin of usb0/usb1.
