In Progress

USB

• USB1.1 low speed device compatiblity

Currently only full and high-speed devices are supported.

• USB hotplug

Hotplug is not well supported, sometime does not respond to replug of device.

Media Card

• CF Card Hotplug

CF card support is currently tied to IDE module, needs some rewrite to support hotplug.

• SD Card Performance

Writing to SD card is too slow that causes Video frame drops during recording and significantly slows down GUI.

Multimedia Framework

• A/V parameter structure

Revise parameter structure, leave user-friendly parameter interpretation on application side.

nx Widget

• Edit/text box widget.

Edit/Text box to enable 'Help' button support, press of 'Help' button shall pop up a text box to display help information.
