Hi
Sorry for the long delay as I was out of office. Done checking and based in my understanding, from you description that you previously had a temporary full license and produced an rbf.file. and now you use the time limited sof to continue development. You also did compare the sof versions of the logs against the rbf versions. “I compared the sof versions of the logs against the rbf versions. The only significant difference I found is in the lightdm.logs. In the sof version, the seat greeter session is not created.” this is due to the IP Evaluation Mode limitation behavior. To run the .rbf file, the IP needs a valid license.
For better support regarding functional issue on the IP of Video and Image Processing Suite (6AF7 00EE) the recommendation is for you to file new forum case where Intel can then assign case to correct support team since we have different engineers to handle different field of specialty.
Thank you for your understanding.
