4.13 AES-NI support
NES processor supports AES-NI instructions to accelerate AES-128 and AES-256 operations. All current
encryption and VPN frameworks on Linux will use AES-NI instructions by default. AES-NI will provide 10x
to 50x boost for encrypted streams on the gigabit interfaces.
5. Known issues and fixes.
5.1 I2C address conflict between SP5100 watchdog timer and piix4
If watchdog timer is not required, the changes listed below are not required. A warning message is printed
out during boot process; this can be safely ignored. To enable the use of SP5100 watchdog timer, blacklist
piix4. The following commands can be used in Debian 9:
# login as root user
> su
> cat > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist<<EOF
blacklist i2c_piix4
EOF
# update
> update-initramfs -u
# reboot
> reboot
