Known issues
- iMod: Put space in 'true' word in iMod config file, isn't discovery by parsers as bad configuration
- iMod: iMod default database - modbus.db - table DANE - is initialized with values equal 0. Untill parameter will change his value, value will not be refreshed. CSV channel works properly wihtout such condition. Already fixed in iMod develope version.
- iMod: Mbus channel could stop send Mbus request. You need to build simply script in '/mnt/mtd/iMod/watchdog' to reset this plugin.
- iMod: It is required to use 'single-socket' connectio via Modbus TCP in communication with iMod.
- Firmware: Firmware version from 20120517 contain minor bug. If START_BLINK is set to Y, I/O states will not physical change properly.
- GPRS: GPRS package version 1205161350 contain minor bug. If reconnect will be triggered from APN side with specific exit code, second reconnect will constatly reconnect ppp0 interface, without modem-hard-reset.
- iMod: Script channel could crash if is often execute. Fixed in incoming new release version.
- iMod: Setting events on 32-bits will not be trigger properly if this parameter is Big-endian.
- exe_service: Service for running scripts could be stopped by internal Linux mechanism. Currently walk-around is to cyclic (once per day) reset this service using cron-table.
- npe_service: Service for reading inputs/outputs could be stopped by internal Linux mechanism. Currently walk-around is to cyclic (once per day) reset this service using cron-table.
- uninstall scripts: Uninstalling scripts for some packages could not unistall package.
