 The current Linaro member monthly builds for Snapdragon 600 processor provides a kernel based on Linux kernel version ##KERNEL_VER##. The goals of the Linaro Linux releases for Snapdragon 600 processor are to align with the latest Linux Kernel ("www.kernel.org":https://www.kernel.org), close the gaps in features provided and migrate from the existing 3.4 vendor kernel. Developers can continue to use the "Linaro Linux release 14.10 for Snapdragon 600 processor":http://releases.linaro.org/14.10/ubuntu/ifc6410/, which is based on Linux kernel v3.4 and Ubuntu 14.04 if needed.

-* The serial/uart driver does not support high speed transfer, and is limited to 115200 speed. Since UART is used between the on-boart Bluetooth devices and the SoC, this limits the bandwidth between Bluetooth device and the Snapdragon 600. Some use cases such as Bluetooth audio cannot work properly at such low speed. Some other use cases such as data transfer will work but slower than expected. Suppport for high speed UART is being implemented, and will be released in a future release.

 * Some software codecs might not be installed by default; you might install additional codecs such as @gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly@.
 
 * Once you have flashed the boot partition with a valid boot image, the board will automatically boot that image when powered on. To avoid automatically booting you can jumper the board as explained in this "page":http://mydragonboard.org/2013/forcing-ifc6410-into-fastboot/ for IFC6410. To boot the ERAGON600 board in fastboot mode, please refer @section 7.4.2 Fastboot mode@ on @Software Reference Manual@ at "eInfochips support centre":http://www.supportcenter.einfochips.com/. If you cannot use this method and still needs to reboot into fastboot mode, you can erase the boot partition on a running target using the following command @sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot@
