Research notes

gl-inet/sdk's download.sh target list (fetched, 200) does not literally name 'a1300', unlike xe300/x750/ar300m/axt1800 which are named explicitly — so vendor SDK coverage for this exact model is inferred from GL.iNet's blanket OpenWrt/GPL practice, not a confirmed per-device match. Checked docs4.x hardware_info page for a1300: only a generic port-photo, no pinout/schematic. No hardware design files found anywhere.
