From 057c0aaddc40752c7e85f8f3838c27cae24eddbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo de Lara Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2016 12:48:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: add limitation for l3fwd-power sample L3fwd-power app needs vector mode to be disabled in order to work properly. The app used to work previously, because it was using Rx scalar function, but now it uses vector function. Vector mode needs to be disabled to make the app works, which has been documented in release notes.
