Known Issues, Limitations and Restrictions
Known Issues:
- No known issues
Restrictions:
- Hardware support: Please check the official PCI web page for support of any given hardware.
This is a new release line and certifications may still be in progress. - From ADK 4.10.0 and 4.8.24 onwards, if you downgrade to any older ADK 4.8, 4.7 or 4.6 version you will lose any keys on your device.
- VHQ Agent 3.4.1 or above should be used with VHQ server 3.19.01.18 or higher.
- VHQ Agent 3.4.2 or above should be used with VHQ server 3.21.0.14 or higher.
- VHQ Agent 3.4.3.x or above should be used with VHQ server 3.23.01.01 or higher.
- VHQ Agent 5.0.4.x or above should be used with VHQ server 3.26.01.07 or higher.
-
VHQ Agent 5.0.5.x or above should be used with VHQ server 3.27.01.19 or higher. Please
- Check server version before recommending device software updates (especially on-premise clients).
- Check version of Agent that will be included in any device software update.
- Check version of software embedded on any devices before distributing to clients.
- V200t: You must use the latest PVT-3 battery. Low power modes cannot be used on V200t. The unit may hang
sporadically and needs to be rebooted. - Reboot when updating applications: When updating user package, the device will now always
reboot. The only exception from this behavior are user data files. - "When upgrading to ADK-4.4.17/ADK-4.6.4/ADK-4.7.x/later versions from older versions, it is recommended
to go through a complete discharge-charge power cycle atleast once after the SW update.
For later updates,
example moving from ADK-4.6.12 to ADK-4.7.6 this step is not required.
If battery is removed and
re-inserted, it is recommended to go through a complete discharge-charge power cycle atleast once.
Please follow the update procedure above strictly. There are several limitations in older releases regarding the update of units:
- For releases earlier than ADK 4.4.0 and ADK Portable, do not use combined Engage download packages. Device specific download packages must be used for ADK 4.3.x, ADK for Carbon and ADK for M400 and older releases.
- Engage automated update: In some cases, the unit may not automatically restart after an install. Please reboot the unit manually in that case.
Appendix:
General notes:
-
For all Base devices:
- Devices without user signed VHQ Config - in the field:
- will receive a sys6 signed VHQ config with current ADK release. This config will set the operating mode to "Direct". Once user decided to install a user signed VHQ Config, a package "dl.VHQconfig-remove-prod.tgz" needs to be installed first. Please contact Verifone service team for assistance.
- Devices without user signed VHQ Config - out of the box scenario:
- While installing user signed VHQconfig pointing to customer server, please do not use "ADK operating mode", but "Direct mode" instead.
- Devices with user signed VHQ Config package:
- Must ensure that VHQ config is set to use Direct mode before installing this version of ADK.
- During installation of this ADK will see an error message where sys6 signed VHQ config will fail to overwrite existing user signed VHQ config. Please ignore error message.
-
VOS2:
- Radio auto-start must be used if the radio needs to be turned off for any reason. Auto-start is the default and it should be retained in this release.
SW Update Capabilities
-
Buildall
- Surgical removal - removed OS+sys apps - but not usr apps or keys or OS config; however, network
settings will be reverted to default (package "cdgnetcfg"). - Loaded via USB or as a package i.e. downloadable file via VHQ, netloader, etc...
- Used at deployment center to change factory VOS into that required by customer.
- VHQ:
- In the past, VHQ device-specific session key was deleted, but fixed in Agent R6 and later.
- Currently
- Using the normal build all will erase all settings for VHQ.
- However, we can technically generate a “upgrader”, (see below) which only erases

release-3014 to something earlier requires special magic, contact i_mx_T3SW for details. - This does NOT wipe Warrantied Keys / VRK key.
- VCL:
- in the past, VCL Keys, Configuration Data, and the BIN Table file was deleted with a build-all.
- Starting with VCL 9.1.001S (in OS release-31040101) VCL now stores the VCL Keys, Configuration Data, and the Bin Table file into a new folder location so the build-all will not delete these files.

Removeall
- Remove file in a bundle - list off what you want to remove. Can remove everything that was loaded via a
bundle (anything part of manifest) i.e. not anything that apps created. - Secure Installer API - remove bundle names, users (same limitations as remove file via bundle).
- Never do a removeall on its own of OS (without OS as part of buildall) because then you'd have no OS.

Upgraders
- Use a script to determine if upgrade applicable, based on current software installed, e.g. VOS
release/build string. - "Upgrades", so changes nothing if already on final VOS build, or applied accidentially to a
later VOS release/build, i.e. "upgrade to release-30250600" downloaded when release-30410400
running on device. - Script can remove specific files or packages if no longer relevant. E.g. MX9 VOS ADK 2 and ADK 3, FLTK
and Nano-X were optional packages in their own bundle. For release-3041 it was moved into the core. - During upgrade, a package can be replaced with more-recent version, or altered using
bsdiff (does binary patching of package). However, bsdiff requires a
specific package version to start with. - Overhead is (at least) one extra reboot that a build-all does not need. This is when the upgrader
script runs to decide what to do. - MX9 Upgraders must not change VCL, VHQ and its certificates, CTLS, and not touch vos-syslog-flash
package.

Tamper / VCL Key
Note about VCL keys specifically and key versus config in bold belowIn AES DUKPT mode the keys are now handled and stored by the OS so the keys shouldn't be
lost during a buildall. But the other VCL configuration settings would be lost temporarily
disabling encryption until another VCL config package is installed on the device.As documented above in the VCL section, configuration data and the keys used in DDK mode have
been moved to a new location under VOSCOR-21681 which will be
integrated into the OS after QA completes testing. The new location will persist keys and data
after a build-all.- Permanent Tamper
- AKA: TANC (tampered and not cleared) is a tamper that is still physically active e.g. a normally closed tamper switch is open, or a security mesh is broken.
The source of the tamper must first be fixed in hardware before the terminal can be detampered.
- AKA: TANC (tampered and not cleared) is a tamper that is still physically active e.g. a normally closed tamper switch is open, or a security mesh is broken.
- Transient Tamper
- AKA: TAC (tampered and cleared) is a tamper that was physically active e.g. a normally closed tamper switch opened and then closed, or a security mesh was temporarily open but is now closed.
By definition, for a transient tamper the source of the tamper has first been fixed in hardware, so the terminal can be detampered.
- AKA: TAC (tampered and cleared) is a tamper that was physically active e.g. a normally closed tamper switch opened and then closed, or a security mesh was temporarily open but is now closed.
- Tamper Handling
- Tamper detection and response are done entirely by the hardware, when a tamper event occurs
the vault code that deals with the tamper events manages the tampering logs messages and deliver these log messages to the public world.
A tamper will always reboot the terminal. All secret or private keys, or the key that is encrypting them, are deleted.
On every boot up, the software determines the tamper status.
There are two ways the terminal
software can respond if the terminal is tampered:- Not run any third party applications.
- Run third party applications but disable all payment interfaces such that payment (or
processing of cards MSR, Contact, Contactless, or card data) is not possible.
- Tamper detection and response are done entirely by the hardware, when a tamper event occurs
- Permanent Tamper
A terminal may support either one or both of these methods. The configuration of which
methods are supported is done at manufacture time by setting a signed Secure Installer variable.
-
- Detamper device
There are two methods to detamper a device, it may support either one or both of these methods.
- Detamper with passwords / direct key load operation.
- Detamper with SST (Secure Service Tool TRSM) / Keyloading via KLD.
The configuration of which methods are supported is done at manufacture time in a MIB (Message Information Block) file. This configuration cannot be changed once set.

Type of change |
Repackaging of full-ext zip archive |
New behavior available | ADK 5.0 |
Planned Deprecation version |
ADK 5.1 |
ADK components | ADK integration and packaging |
Changes |
The ADK-full-ext zip archive is replaced by SDK archives, a doc archive and platform specific load archives. |
Impacts |
As a solution provider you may need to update build scripts to use the new zip archives instead of the full-ext zip archive. Transition: The original full-ext zip archive is still available and can be used to simplify the transition. |
Reasons for change |
With the introduction of VOS3, the size of the ext-full bundle becomes unmanageable large. As some parts are already provided separately, the remaining files will be split, too. |

PCI version check

New behavior available | ADK 4.10 / ADK 4.9 |
Planned Deprecation version |
N/A |
ADK components | Installer and sysmode for VOS1 and VOS2 |
Changes |
A new API was added to verify, if the combination of installed components match the expected and certified combination and reported a "tainted" status, if they do not match. |
Impacts |
Terminal users should check for tainted status of terminals in the field in a similar way as checking PCI versions. Solution providers must use a full ADK stack to not risk a tainted device or loss of functionality. Application developers can check the status and report to servers or show the status on application status screens. |
Reasons for change |
Security: Although installations are password protected and should prevent installation of unwanted combinations, the tainted state mechanism was added to counter the increasing complexity of the system and simplify verification of certified version combination. |

ADK components | VOS3 / VAOS10 |
Changes |
secRSAPrivate() / SDI Remote Key Service will no longer work with RSA keys with key usage 'K3'. |
Impacts |
No impact is expected as the ADK provides signing and data decryption functions, but not key wrapping / agreement. Key usages 'D1', 'S0', and 'S2' will continue to be supported. Besides, VRK key profiles reports confirm that no keys with key usage 'K3' were created for that purpose. |
Reasons for change |
Security: Turkey Custom RKL to be implemented in the planned deprecated version, requires loading an RSA key with key usage 'K3' for decrypting the payloads. This RSA key is accessible to apps that can potentially use it with secRSAPrivate() / SDI Remote Key Service to decrypt payloads on the non-secure side. |

Reasons for change |
These functions were originally introduced because Verix required to have PIN entry in the same task that later on processes the PIN. This restriction has been lowered in QT400 (in ADK 3.1) already and now we encourage the use of ADK-GUI for offline and online PIN entry. We had put a note in the ADK-EMV / ADK-SECrelease notes since ADK 3.1 that these APIs will be “will be removed after ADK 4.1. |
