16 Known Issues

Display Firmware

• Shutting down the Compute Module via the HTTP interface and OpCode 117Ch is not working

correctly in firmware prior to R1.006E on the Pxx4 and Vxx4/-T displays.

• CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) support between the display and Raspberry Pi Compute

Module requires at least firmware R1.006E on the Pxx4 and Vxx4/-T displays.

• Watchdog Timer support for the Compute Module requires at least firmware R1.006E on the

Pxx4 and Vxx4/-T displays.

Compute Module 3

• Some older OS distros may not include the boot firmware for the Compute Module 3 and may

fail to start correctly (hang at the rainbow start screen). Confirm that the OS being used is the

correct version and build for the Compute Module being used.
