Evidence and maintenance
E1 · Source code & deployment docs
Per-device YAML and installation templates were readable in the official wiki source; web access was restricted. A listing does not prove current maintenance: check current builds before installation. FP2 has an empty maintainers list and is only a historical entry, not a recommendation for a currently maintained build.
Catalog hands-on testing: not performed. Independent reproduction: not verified.
- Maintenance
- Repository not archived
- Last GitHub push
- 2026-10-20T06:00:06Z
- Repository license
- UNKNOWN (no verified link)
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.
