-== HW22: FLASH geometry layout change
-Issue:
- * End of Life of the 2GiB NAND FLASH device used on Ventana GW5xx4 board models (and customer specials) has caused a change to a different FLASH device that has a differing geometry (page size, block size) and ECC strength. These changes can cause a code change in firmware (bootloader and ubi image) as well as an update to the Gateworks {{{jtag_usbv4}}} JTAG programming software.
-
-Work-around:
- * Use the Gateworks 2015.04 Bootloader with [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/a8572c2d12714a29113dbc90cc12e5fbef387bc7 a85742c] or the Gateworks 2017.05 Bootloader branch or newer
- * Use the latest {{{jtag_usbv4}}} (v4.1) programming software
- * Use and create FLASH ubi images that were created with the 'normal' FLASH geometry ( 2K block size and a max-leb-count of 16384): see [wiki:linux/ubi#flashgeometry here for details]
+== HW22: EOL Micron 2GiB NAND FLASH replaced with Cypress 2GiB NAND FLASH (geometry and performance change)
+Issue:
+ * End of Life of the Micron 2GiB NAND FLASH device used on Ventana GW5xx4 board models (and customer specials) has caused a change to a different FLASH device that has a differing geometry (page size, block size), ECC strength, and performance. These changes can cause a code change in firmware (bootloader and ubi image) as well as an update to the Gateworks {{{jtag_usbv4}}} JTAG programming software.
+
+Work-around:
+ * To support the ECC change:
+  - Use the Gateworks 2015.04 Bootloader with [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/a8572c2d12714a29113dbc90cc12e5fbef387bc7 a85742c] or the Gateworks 2017.05 Bootloader branch or newer
+  - Use the latest {{{jtag_usbv4}}} (v4.1) programming software
+ * To support the FLASH geometry change:
+  - Use and create FLASH ubi images that were created with the 'normal' FLASH geometry (2K block size and a max-leb-count of 16384): see [wiki:linux/ubi#flashgeometry here for details]
+ * To support the performance change:
+  - Use the Gateworks 2017.05 Bootloader with [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/f3fbc0ec02a04ed1eb7bdb7f6ba6b65eb86a1ea9 f3fbc0e] for best performance (supports new Flash in EDO mode 4)
+  - Use the Gateworks 4.20 kernel for best Linux performance (supports new Flash in EDO mode 4)
+  - Use the Gateworks 4.4 OpenWrt kernel with [https://github.com/Gateworks/openwrt/commit/1937a7cbc834de3dc249d8f0dc7f6390da1c9716 1937a7c] (supports new Flash in EDO mode 4)
+  - Use the latest Gateworks 4.20 and OpenWrt 16.02 bootscripts which enable UBI fastmap support (for decreased boot time).

+== HW23: EOL ADV7180 Analog Video Decoder replaced with ADV7280A
+Issue:
+ * End of Life of the ADV7180 Analog video decoder device used on Ventana GW51xx, GW52xx, GW53xx, GW54xx, GW553x board models (and customer specials) has caused a change to an ADV7280A. While the ADV7280A has the same features as the ADV7180 it requires driver support.
+
+Work-around:
+ * Use the Gateworks 2017.05 Bootloader with [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/348a052e0c7d00dead5439de7d6ba6a579b5b42e 348a052 (GW53xx)], [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/16ccf17599ae72643eba26cba056e1952c737c42 16ccf17 (GW53xx)],[https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/97bb78bc0d7134d2b98e462c9e148f52c524104f 97bb78b (GW54xx)]
+ * Use the Gateworks 3.14 kernel with [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/bc4e236209a80c9578246fb173f66566748bc3e8 bc42236]
+ * Use the Gateworks 4.20 kernel or greater with [TODO]

+== HW24: EOL Wi2Wi W2SG0008i GPS receiver replaced with ublox ZOE-M8Q GPS receiver
+Issue:
+ * End of Life of the Wi2Wi GPS receiver used on Ventana GW51xx, GW52xx, GW53xx, GW54xx, GW553x board models (and customer specials) has caused a change to the ublox ZOE-M8Q GPS receiver. While both GPS receivers output NMEA 0183 messages at 1Hz the W2SG0008i GPS came up at 4800baud and the ZOE-M8Q comes up at 9600baud.
+
+Work-around:
+ * Make sure your software can auto-baud and is compatible with the NMEA sentences of the ZOE-M8Q
+ * If your hardware makes use of the GPS PPS signal routed to miniPCIe sockets make sure your hardware is compatible with a 3.3V TTL signal.
+
+Affected Products that have moved from the Wi2Wi W2SG0008i to ublox ZOE-M8Q:
+ * GW53xx-G+
+ * GW54xx-G+

+Issue:
+ * End of Life of the Marvell 88E1510 RGMII phy used on Ventana GW51xx, GW52xx, GW53xx, GW54xx board models (and customer specials) attached the the IMX6 FEC internal MAC has caused a change to the TI DP83867 phy.
+
+Work-around:
+ * Use the Gateworks 2017.05 Bootloader with [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/f904fbd2cc5b33ed6f8f2583d0b711d770858996 f904fbd].

+== HW26: EOL Marvell 88E8057 GbE MAC/PHY replaced with Intel I210 GbE MAC/PHY
+Issue:
+ * End of Life of the Marvell 88E8057 GbE MAC/PHY used on Ventana GW54xx and GW53xx as the eth1 GbE has caused a change to the Intel I210 GbE MAC/PHY.
+
+Work-around:
+ * Make sure the kernel has support for the igb driver.
