Known issues
Technical
| Issue key | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| QNXE-554 | Running uname -a displays the incorrect OS version (8.0.0 instead of 8.0.3). | Run use -i /system/bin/qconn, then view the VERSION field for the correct OS version. |
| QNXE-421 | Overclocking your Raspberry Pi by adding the following lines to the config.txt file will stop GPIO serial connections from working: over_voltage=4 arm_freq=2000 gpu_freq=600 | N/A; Don't overclock your Raspberry Pi if you plan on using a serial connection. |
| QNXE-739 | When using a Lilliput 10.1" monitor, the edges of the display are cut off. | N/A |
| QNXE-773 | The Logitech K400+ wireless touch keyboard doesn't always work as expected. | N/A |
| QNXE-68 | The QNX OS quick start image enables qconn by default to aid with developing and debugging. | Learn how to Secure qconn. |
| QNXE-181 | Installing OpenCV using pip fails. | Enter one of the following:
or Only use the package from the current directory. |
| QNXE-195 | The QNX Momentics IDE requires configuration to allow a direct SSH connection to the quick start image. As is, it returns the following error in the terminal: Error connecting XX.XXX.XXX.XXX : SSH client error: Algorithm negotiation fail. | Manually allow the host key algorithm by adding the following lines to the /system/etc/ssh/sshd_config file: HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa,ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com Then, reboot your Raspberry Pi. |
| QNXE-198 | Core dump files in /data/var/dumper are not accessible to the default qnxuser user. | If a process crashes, access the core dump file in /data/var/dumper as the root user. This can be accomplished by logging in as root in a new terminal session or with su - in an existing session. |
| CLT-8295 | The pidin utility may return a Error:Bad file descriptor. from fill_info message. | N/A |

|---|---|
| The /boot/qnx_config.txt file no longer exists. Instead, modify the /boot/network. | Setting a static IP address |
| The last codeblock in the "Configuring DNS lookups" section provides commands on how to switch back to DHCP to acquire DNS server addresses, not an IP address. | Configuring DNS lookups |
| The CTI guide shouldn't mention a "Quickstart BSP". Instead, these instances are meant to refer to the image itself. | assets, system |
| The IP_ADDR network variable only works when setting a static IP address for Ethernet interfaces. | network |
