======= Known Issue =======
This are known issues about ODROID-XU4
====== HDMI Reverse current ======

When you remove the DC plug (HDMI still connected), the red LED stays ON if the HDMI monitor/TV generates some amount of reverse current.\\
It may need 5 to 15 seconds to discharge the current. \\
Before fully discharging, the DC-jack connection may not start the board automatically. \\
You will need to remove the HDMI cable or give some extra time to fully discharge.\\


====== USB VBUS control issue ======

There is no way to control the USB host power (VBUS) with software due to a missing control register.\\


====== Caution : Over-Voltage Protection feature =======

<WRAP round important 80%>
** Caution : Over-Voltage Protection feature ** \\
1. The power source must be connected to the DC-Jack. \\
2. Maximum over-voltage must be lower than 16Volt.\\

====== MicroSD Socket Handling Precautions  ======

 1. If your [[odroid-xu4:hardware:xu4:MicroSD]]-card does not satisfy the following conditions, replace the card.
  * The dimensions of the card must be standard. 
  * Check for any deviations due to wear.
  * The wear of the pads will cause extremely negative side effects.

 2. Excessive external force to the connector may cause damage. Please to not insert or operate as shown in the examples below:
  * Do not slope the sides of the card at insertion/extraction.
  * Do not twist vertically or horizontally in the inserted state.

 3. To make a minimal volume of the connector, the card detection parts are partially exposed. Take care not to use excessive force to avoid breakage.

If you don't like that annoying message, add the driver module in the black list.\\

<code bash target> sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-odroid.conf </code>

Just add this line in the odroid blacklist file.\\
<code> blacklist ina231_sensor </code>

The annoying message will disappear.
