Supported IOx and IOS versions
| Device Family | Minimum supported IOx version | Latest supported IOx version | Minimum supported IOS version | Latest supported IOS version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IC3K | 2.3.0.10 | 2.3.0.17 | 1.3.1 | 1.3.3 |
| IR8X9 | 1.13.0.6 | 1.14.0.0 | 15.9(3)M3 | 15.9(3)M4 |

Resolved Caveats
| Caveat ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CSCvy47690 | MQTT Link Logfile Output is suboptimal |
| CSCvz45769 | EI Cloud shows incorrect count of "Number of Assets not sending data" field in Agent status page |
| CSCvz50503 | CIAM: openssl - multiple versions |
| CSCvz46841 | Gateway sending data via MQTT, but EI says destination is offline in EI Policy Status |
| CSCvz43253 | EI goes into restart-loop after IR809 power cycle |
| CSCvz63909 | In case of error scenario, display the tag name in device health status |
| CSCvz40905 | PVD - Data in the RSU connector |
| CSCvz47645 | Fixed an issue that caused a wrong count of mapped assets in the EI Agent view. |
Cloud bug fixes
Fixed multiple issues with list requests in Cloud Broker which were leading to missing status updates.
Known issues and limitations
- Global objects (e.g. "performance", "output", "parameters", "trigger”) provided/implemented by Scripting Engine are not iterable and accessing the internal properties such as “_name” and “0” will lead to run time java script error.
- Low network bandwidth can cause memory crunch hence resulting in restarting the process. This can be resolved by increasing the network bandwidth or by increasing the sampling interval.
- Device Model attribute names must not start with a number.
Required Action
If you are not using the RSU connector, no action is required. For the RSU connector, upgrade to EI Agent 1.4.16 to support the new features.
Recommendations
Upgrade Cisco Edge Intelligence extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
- Search for the "Cisco Edge Intelligence" extension Visual Studio marketplace.
- Follow the prompts to install the extension.
- Once installed, "CISCO EI" appears in the explorer bar.

| CSCvy40980 | Decreased memory consumption on Edge devices |
| Improvement | If a script is deployed for debugging from VS Code, any script engine error will be added to the pipeline health as an error log entry in the script debug log visible in VS Code. This way the script developer will have immediate feedback, while only part of the script is executed and some debug messages don't show up later in the script. |
