Hardware reference for a set of SoCs, board families, boards and discrete chips. The SoCs are
Rockchip's RK3288, RK3576 and RK3588 and the Airoha AN7581. The discrete chips are the
MediaTek MT7996 Wi-Fi chip and the Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 radio.
The tree is ordered by SoC > Family > Board, with a folder of its own for each discrete chip:
- SoC folders hold the documents that hold for every board on that SoC.
- Family folders appear only where several boards share documents, e.g., the Veyron Chromebooks.
- Board folders hold what is true of that board alone.
- Chip folders hold what is true of a discrete chip, such as a Wi-Fi chip, on any board that
carries it.

Every claim carries its grade: [measured], [source], [consensus], [reported],
[inferred] or [expected]. PROFILE.md defines each one. A named source is cited by
an uppercase key, which the document defines in its closing Sources section.
