Risks and recovery

Confirm external boot and the route back to the original OS. Before writing internal storage, separately verify the board's recovery image.

Evidence and maintenance
E1 · Source code & deployment docs

Catalog hands-on testing: not performed. Independent reproduction: not verified.

- Repository license
- GPL-2.0 (README declaration; upstream components separately licensed)
An unarchived repository or recent push does not prove a model works. Mirror migration does not mean development has stopped.
A root license or README declaration does not establish the same license for firmware, models, brands and third-party components.
