Known Issues

  1. Newer OE/Yocto buildtools could cause build issues for nspr-native package. Use -r yocto-3.2_M2 -t 20200729 as described in README file if you are using OE/Yocto buildtools. See Yocto bug #14112
  2. We have found an issue with SanDisk "A2" microSD cards and thus do not recommend them.
  3. If the desktop is unresponsive/frozen (i.e. the keyboard doesn't work or/and the mouse doesn't work, the clock is not updating, etc.) try systemctl restart display-manager from the serial console.
  4. If the keyboard or/and mouse is not responsive/frozen check if the input device is available under libinput list-devices and if events are registered by libinput debug-events in the console. If events are registered try systemctl restart display-manager from the serial console. Otherwise manually unplug and plug the keyboard or/and mouse.
  5. If your desktop is very slow check Mesa OpenGL rendered (glxinfo | grep OpenGL). If it is OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe restart the system. In rare cases Mesa might fallback to llvmpipe, but restart usually resolved the issue.
  6. If NBD rootfs is used NetworkManager will not handle eth0 interface. This leads to resolv.conf not being generated (DNS resolving doesn't work), and system time is not synchronized via NTP. The Internet connection itself is working.
