			== Known Problems ==
			* In Libero, the path for the u-boot flash image is hard-linked, so if you are trying to run any of the project in the first section of this page, Libero might tell you that it did not find the flash file. If this should occur, it is needed to redefine the path to the image.
			** 11.1 -- Go to the MSS configurator tab and double-click the eNVM part, in the configuration window for the eNVM, change to the correct path.
