7.1 List of Unmounted Elements

Two types of unmounted components are listed in this section:

  • In blue, the components that can be mounted, with some board adaptation, without any damage to the system.
  • In red, unmounted components used for factory and debug configuration. Those should never be mounted, as such action could result in damage or destruction of the board or system elements.

The following table lists the top side unmounted components and their functionalities.
