[1] Experimental feature intended for evaluation/early development only and not production. Incomplete mandatory certification. [2] LE audio feature is supported for standalone scenarios only and not for BR/EDR and Wi-Fi coexistence scenarios such as LE audio + BR/EDR link or LE
audio + Wi-Fi link.
From the perspective of NXP Edgefast Bluetooth host stack, LE audio feature can be disabled by the CONFIG_BT_AUDIO macro without impact on any other features. LE audio feature can be tested by the user, using their own supported host stack.

Bluetooth

· Packet lost observed in CIS case, which causes audio noise. · Audio Glitches observed with Google Pixel 7 Pro streaming audio after CIS is established with DUT. · During Call Gateway (CG) / Call Terminal (CT) Use Case, FW periodically sends NULL PDU which results
in frequent Audio Glitch on both CG & CT Side.
· CIS Sink frequently fails to acknowledge CIS Source Tx PDU. · Sequential Removal of CIS Handles as per current Controller implementation i.e CIS Disconnection
sequence should be in sequence => CIS - 4,3,2,1
· 48_6 Stereo Configuration is not supported. · Heavy audio glitches observed with CIS SRC Google Pixel 7 Pro · While 4-CIS streaming, audio glitches observed on all CIS SINK with Samsung Galaxy buds · While 4-CIS streaming, disconnection with connection timeout observed on first CIS SINK with Samsung

NXP Wireless SoC Features and Release Notes for FreeRTOS

8.6 EU conformance tests
· EU Adaptivity test - EN 300 328 v2.1.1 (for 2.4 GHz) · EU Adaptivity test - EN 301 893 v2.1.1 (for 5 GHz)

8.7 Known issues

Table 116.SDIO-UART AW611 known issues Component Description

Wi-Fi

· After performing Independent Reset (Out of band mode), STAUT fails to connect to External AP via wlanconnect command, observed command timeout 0x107 error.

Bluetooth

· Packet lost would be observed in CIS case which causes audio noise. · Audio Glitches observed with Google Pixel 7 Pro streaming audio after CIS is established with DUT. · During Call Gateway (CG) / Call Terminal (CT) Use Case, FW periodically sends NULL PDU which results
in frequent Audio Glitch on both CG & CT Side.
· CIS Sink frequently fails to acknowledge CIS Source Tx PDU. · Sequential Removal of CIS Handles as per current Controller implementation i.e CIS Disconnection
sequence should be in sequence => CIS - 4,3,2,1
· 48_6 Stereo Configuration is not supported. · For 2 Stream CIS & BIS Use Cases, 1-Channel per CIS/BIS Stream is validated. · Heavy audio glitches observed with CIS SRC Google Pixel 7 Pro · While 4-CIS streaming, audio glitches observed on all CIS SINK with Samsung Galaxy buds · While 4-CIS streaming, disconnection with connection timeout observed on first CIS SINK with Samsung
Galaxy buds
· Continuous audio glitches observed in 1 CIS & 2 CIS for 48_3 & 48_4 config · During 2-BIS stereo case periodic advertising sync fail
