5. Known Problems¶
Ferrocene’s defects are categorized into the Known Problems (KP) database. Each KP is described along with its workaround, detection and mitigation strategies. Access to the database is only available to Ferrocene customers with an active subscription.
5.1. Consulting Known Problems¶
The up-to-date version of the Known Problems database is available at problems.ferrocene.dev. The contents of the database are regularly updated, as new problems are discovered or fixed.
An offline copy of the database can be downloaded by following the instructions at problems.ferrocene.dev. When consulting an offline copy, make sure it is up to date.
5.2. Notification of newly discovered problems¶
All customers with an active subscription that includes known problems notifications can receive emails when new problems are discovered. The customer’s employees in charge of triaging new Known Problems must enable “Functional Safety notifications” in the notification settings to receive them.
It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of new problems being discovered (for example by subscribing to the notifications, or by periodically monitoring problems.ferrocene.dev) and apply the procedures described in new database entries.
