Edge Software and Services Release Notes 5Predix Edge Release Notes 2.7.0These are the new features, enhancements, and known and resolved issues for the 2.7.0 release ofPredix Edge.Upgrade PathPredix Edge OS must be installed incrementally; you cannot skip a minor release (i.e., if you arerunning version 2.5.0, you must first install 2.6.0 and then 2.7.0). You do not have to install everypatch release (indicated by a change to the third digit in the release number).New Features and EnhancementsThis release contains the following enhancements:YoctoThe system has been upgraded to Yocto Dunfell 3.1.Static IP Address for VM First InterfaceThe Predix Edge OS VMs now have a default static IP address for the Predix EdgeTechnician Console. See Installing Predix Edge OS Virtual Machine (page)IGS Protocol Adapter Support DiscontinuedPredix Edge no longer supports the IGS protocol adapter.Known IssuesThis release has the following known issues:RFC 1918 Private Address SpaceIf you upgrade from Predix Edge 2.4.0 or earlier to Predix Edge 2.7.0, privateaddresses will not be resolved. Use the following steps as a workaround for this issue. SSH access is required edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf to comment out (put "#" in front of): bogus-priv stop-dns-rebind restart the dnsmasq.service systemctl stop dnsmasq.service systemctl start dnsmasq.serviceSuccessful Factory Reset Returns Failure Message
Edge Software and Services Release Notes 6After performing a factory reset via PETC, an error message may pop up indicating theoperation Failed to reset device; however, the factory reset will have been successful.Docker Apps Flooding LogsA Docker application that floods the logs can cause system performance to degrade,resulting in the Docker applications restarting.Serial Port BootlogA qemu- or vmware-based OS will output the bootlog out of the serial ports. This cancause problems if they are connected to physical hardware.Device Clock ModificationsIf a device’s clock is modified to a time prior to when it was first initialized, alldeployed applications will be stopped and all system applications will run after thedevice reboots.Application ConfigurationsApplications will not be able to read application configuration files created withoutread permissions. Ensure that configuration files have read permissions prior to zippingthem in preparation for uploading them to Edge Manager or PETC.Data Not Forwarding When OPC-UA Adapter Fails to Connect to BrokerIn some instances, when the client id is not specified in the application configurations,two separate applications may have identical mqtt client IDs, resulting in theapplications failing to connect to the broker and data not being forwarded.MAC Address Displays as 'unknown'There is a bug in Predix Edge OS that causes PETC to display MAC addresses as"unknown" for all ethernet interfaces. To obtain the actual MAC address for anethernet interface, execute the "Run ifconfig" command from Predix Edge Manager.The MAC address will be in the resulting text file output that can be downloaded fromthe Predix Edge Manager Device Commands tab.File Permissions on the config-xxxx.json FileMac/Linux users should ensure that the file permissions on the config-xxxx.jsonfile are 644 prior to adding to the zipfile for deployment to your Predix Edge Device.Other file permissions may result in the Edge Application being unable to start up andthe journalctl log file will show error messages containing stream error and Unable toparse JSON file.Resolved IssuesThe following issues were resolved in this release:Fixed VulnerabilitiesThis release contains fixes for the following security vulnerabilities:
