26Known Issues or Limitations
27---------------------------
28
29 - Use Ethernet over VirtIO due to lan91c111 Ethernet driver support dropped from U-Boot.
30 - Temporally removing the External system support in Linux due to it using multiple custom devicetree bindings that caused problems with SystemReady IR 2.0 certification. For External system support please refer to the version 2023.06. We are aiming to restore it in a more standardised manner in our next release.
31 - Due to the performance uplimit of MPS3 FPGA and FVP, some Linux distros like Fedora Rawhide can not boot on Corstone-1000 (i.e. user may experience timeouts or boot hang).
32 - PSA Crypto tests (psa-crypto-api-test command) approximately take 30 minutes to complete for FVP and MPS3.
33 - Corstone-1000 SoC on FVP doesn't have a secure debug peripheral. It does on the MPS3.
34 - See previous release notes for the known limitations regarding ACS tests.

47Known Issues or Limitations
48---------------------------
49 - FPGA supports Linux distro install and boot through installer. However, FVP only supports openSUSE raw image installation and boot.
50 - Due to the performance uplimit of MPS3 FPGA and FVP, some Linux distros like Fedora Rawhide can not boot on Corstone-1000 (i.e. user may experience timeouts or boot hang).
51 - PSA Crypto tests (psa-crypto-api-test command) take 30 minutes to complete for FVP and 1 hour for MPS3.
52 - Corstone-1000 SoC on FVP doesn't have a secure debug peripheral. It does on the MPS3 .
53 - The following limitations listed in the previous release are still applicable:
54
55   - UEFI Compliant - Boot from network protocols must be implemented -- FAILURE
56
57   - Known limitations regarding ACS tests - see previous release's notes.

70Known Issues or Limitations
71---------------------------
72 - The external-system can not be reset individually on (or using) AN550_v1 FPGA release. However, the system-wide reset still applies to the external-system.
73 - FPGA supports Linux distro install and boot through installer. However, FVP only supports openSUSE raw image installation and boot.
74 - Due to the performance uplimit of MPS3 FPGA and FVP, some Linux distros like Fedora Rawhide can not boot on Corstone-1000 (i.e. user may experience timeouts or boot hang).
75 - Below SCT FAILURE is a known issues in the FVP:
76   UEFI Compliant - Boot from network protocols must be implemented -- FAILURE
77 - Below SCT FAILURE is a known issue when a terminal emulator (in the system where the user connects to serial ports) does not support 80x25 or 80x50 mode:
78   EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUT_PROTOCOL.SetMode - SetMode() with valid mode -- FAILURE
79 - Known limitations regarding ACS tests: The behavior after running ACS tests on FVP is not consistent.  Both behaviors are expected and are valid;
80   The system might boot till the Linux prompt. Or, the system might wait after finishing the ACS tests.
81   In both cases, the system executes the entire test suite and writes the results as stated in the user guide.
