* The edge device is [[ORCA_SBC|Orca SBC]] instead of SBCSPG gateway.
* Fledge and Fledge GUI were not installed by using <code>apt</code>. They were built on the target instead, even though the Linux distribution is still [[ORCA-TN-001_—_Running_Armbian_Bullseye_(Debian_11)|Debian 11]]. This approach may be more suited to address different situations. For instance, think about the case in which you have to develop new functionalities or test custom north/south plugins. At large, this set-up allows to develop the code on a PC host running the ''same'' distribution, and to migrate to the target later on when it is already tested and debugged thoroughly.
* As the target platform features an HDMI port, Fledge GUI can be displayed locally, too. This solution can be convenient for building products that require a local display without having to implement a new graphics application. Interestingly, this HDMI port is provided by a LVDS/HDMI bridge that, in turn, is connected to the LVDS native port of the i.MX8M Plus SoC. The display used for this test is [http://www.magedok.com/product02.html?id=157 Magedok T080A 8-inch touchscreen monitor].
