Hello, @MMahl4​:

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

We suggest you review the information stated in eighth point of the Specification Changes on page 49 of the Intel Atom(R) Processor E3800 Specification Update-NDA document # 539130.

Also, the D-1 devices have fixed the errata VLI83 and VLI89 as you may confirm on pages 14, 15, 42, 43, and 44 of the cited Spec Update - NDA.

It can be found when you are logged into your Resource & Design Center (RDC) privileged account at the following website:
