Research notes

gl-inet/uboot-ipq60xx repo description literally states 'uboot src and binary for GL-AX1800 and GL-AXT1800' (fetched, 200); gl-inet/sdk download.sh lists axt1800 under its ipq807x-2102 target. Checked docs4.x user-guide page and docs repo for a hardware/pinout page — it only has a generic external port-photo, not a real pinout/schematic, so not listed as a file. No public Qualcomm datasheet page found for IPQ6000 (checked qualcomm.com, 404).
