Known Issues

  1. Avoid overclocking SoC using CPUFreq if you are using HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board from Microsemi as this will hang the board. Hard reset will be required.

  2. If Xfce4 desktop disk image is used with HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board and GPU then rebooting is required after the 1st boot.

  3. 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

  4. We have found an issue with SanDisk "A2" microSD cards and thus do not recommend them.
