Features Added in This Release

Feature Module
ECC Functional Test example for single bit errors is added SDL
Updated DDR configuration from DDR configuration tool v10.30 DDR

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 Networking

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.

Limitations

S.No Head Line Module
1 The ROM startup model for runtime initializations in TI ARM CLANG is not supported/tested in the SDK NA
2 LPM is not supported with SBL boot flow. It is supported only with SPL boot flow. Bootloader
3 The EVM is limited to only one MAC address in the EEPROM, applications requiring multiple MAC addresses should enable and configure manual MAC address entry in Sysconfig. Networking
