Known issues


All issues that were reported during the Beta period can now be considered fixed unless they appear in the list below.

  • The source code for the network and serial drivers will overwrite any current modifications in the character and network DDKs for the PPC 8260.
  • Due to the small filename buffer size in the ROM Monitor, the image created in bsp_root_dir/images must be renamed and copied elsewhere.

    If you have a filename that's greater than 16 characters (including its directory name), you'll need to rename it. For example, "images/ifs-ep8260.srec" is too large. To fix this:

    1. Create a directory called xfer:
      # mkdir /xfer
    2. Copy the image to the xfer directory, giving it a smaller name:
      # cp images/ifs-ep8260.srec  /xfer/ep.ifs
  • The serial driver may drop characters under high load.
