Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The main badge exposed six SAO connectors with individually accessible GPIO and split left/right I2C buses for experimenting with add-on peripherals.
