/* FITLET2ERR002: No eMMC support */
__TOC__
 
== FITLET2ERR001: Power button action cannot be configured in Windows 10 ==
* '''Date''': 27-May-2018
* '''Cause''': Erratum in power management integrated circuit
* '''Workaround''': Control power modes from software
** [[fitlet2 Rev1.1 Power button action workaround for Windows 10]]
* '''Fix''': Fixed in fitlet2 rev 1.2 with with BIOS version FLT2.0.40.01.00
* '''Date''': 2-Sep-2018
* '''Symptom''': eMMC module is not identified
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 with SBC serial number 1180902-xxxxx or earlier
* '''Cause''': Circuit of eMMC interface is not assembled on SBC
* '''Workaround''': Use M.2 SATA storage
* '''Fix''': Fixed in fitlet2 with SBC serial number 1180903-xxxxx and later  Note: Since Mar-2020 eMMC interface in fitlet2 is disabled.
== FITLET2ERR003: fitlet2 does not enter S5 state (off) but only S3 state (sleep) ==
* '''Date''': 23-Oct-2018
* '''Symptom''': When shutting-down fitlet2 from software or by pressing the power button fitlet2 enters S3 (sleep) state instead of S5 (off) state
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 rev 1.1 with serial number TBD 1180724-xxxxx or earlier
* '''Cause''': An erratum in fitlet2 PMIC
* '''Workaround''': Long press on power button shuts down fitlet2 completely
* '''Fix''': A new version of PMIC used in fitlet2 with serial number TBD 1180725-00001 and later
Note: Amber LED on power button stays on at S5. This is unrelated to FITLET2ERR003
 
== FITLET2ERR004: Marginal edge-connector quality in FC-PCI ==
* '''Date''': 6-Jan-2019
* '''Symptom''': Devices installed on FC-PCI (Modem / SSD / Wi-Fi adapter / mini-PCIe card) may malfunction. There is no record of permanent damage to devices installed on FC-PCI
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 with FC-PCI rev 1.0
* '''Cause''': Marginal quality of FC-PCI edge connector
* '''Workaround''': Covered under warranty. Compulab will replace FC-PCI FACET Cards exhibiting errors
* '''Fix''': Compulab redesigns FC-PCI FACET Card (rev 1.1) to improve edge connector's quality
 
Note: The problem is specific to FC-PCI and does not apply to other FACET Cards
 
== FITLET2ERR005: Built in Ethernet port is disappearing on start-up ==
* '''Date''': 28-Apr-2019
* '''Symptom''': One of the built in Ethernet ports is disappearing on start-up.
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 configured with either - FC-PCI Rev1.0-1.1, FC-CEM Rev1.0, FC-POED Rev1.0.
* '''Cause''': In FC-PCI Rev1.0-1.1, FC-CEM Rev1.0 and FC-POED Rev1.0 rails 3.3V_A and 3.3V_S are connected in way which affects power sequencing. As a result, in rare cases on-board Ethernet controller's reset is released before PCI bus initialization is complete which results in Ethernet controller being unrecognized.
* '''Workaround''': None
* '''Fix''': Fix applied to FC-PCI Rev1.2, FC-CEM Rev1.1, FC-POED Rev1.1.
 
== FITLET2ERR006: RS-485 half duplex not working on fitlet2 configured with FC-SCG==
* '''Date''': 28-Apr-2019
* '''Symptom''': RS-485 half duplex is not working on fitlet2 configured with FC-SCG.
* '''Applies to''':fitlet2 configured with FC-SCG Rev1.0
* '''Cause''': In FC-SCG Rev1.0 the TXDEN signal that controls RX/TX direction is disconnected. As a result RS485 half-duplex does not function.
* '''Workaround''': None
* '''Fix''': Fix applied to FC-SCG Rev1.1
 
== FITLET2ERR007: Disk errors with EB-M2SATA rev 1.1 ==
* '''Date''': 11-SEP-2019
* '''Symptom''': fitlet2 with a 2.5" hard disk / SSD connected through EB-M2SATA fails to boot or exhibit other disk related errors.
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 with EB-M2SATA Rev1.1 adapter.
* '''Cause''': Marginal SATA signal quality in EB-M2SATA.
* '''Workaround 1''': The problem was observed with some hard disks and SSD's. See [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11RPOke7sZUF1iJ41UR2IfCuDMTMhpvrXjvZaG4ei8aU/edit?usp=sharing this list] for validated hard disks and SSD's.
* '''Workaround 2''': According to Compulab's tests, forcing SATA interface to SATA2 300MHz and not allowing SATA3 600 MHz resolves the problem; A BIOS version with SATA2 forced is available - [http://fit-pc.com/download/fitlet2/bios/customers/foreveroceans/FLT2.0.46.01.26.zip HERE]
**To install, follow the [http://fit-pc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fitlet2:_BIOS_Update fitlet2 BIOS update manual]
 
* '''Fix''': Fixed in EB-M2SATA Rev 1.3 expected to be available now (since Jan-2020).
 
== FITLET2ERR008: Interoperability issue with some models of M.2 SATA SSD ==
* '''Date''': 5-MAR-2020
* '''Symptom''': Inconsistent behavior of M.2 SSD. e.g. fitlet2 fails to identify an SSD (permanently or intermittently)
* '''Applies to''': fitlet2 with M.2 SSD of specific models. See [[Compatibility matrix of M.2 SSD models to IPC3 / fitlet2 / Airtop3 | SSD compatibility matrix]] for details
* '''Cause''': fitlet2 implements eMMC interface on M.2 key-M unused pins. The same pins are sometimes used for vendor specific functionality in some SSD models. This can lead to unexpected behavior of these SSDs
* '''Workaround''': Opt for a validated SSD | [https://fit-iot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=170&t=6865 insulating M.2 SSD pins]
* '''Fix''': fitlet2 volume orders placed after 5-Mar-2020 will be supplied with the eMMC interface disconnected. As of Mar-2020 Compulab is researching the problem. If additional solutions are found this erratum will be updated.
