The release tag is less likely to disappear than the branch.
Also we have moved onto a different branch name.

The Framework Laptop 16 has a protection scheme in place to prevent Input Modules from powering on unless the input deck is fully populated.
Module detection is done using the `BOARD_ID` pin. It is possible to override this setting on the system through BIOS settings, but at the risk of shorting the system or modules.

F2 on boot > Setup Utility > Advanced > Force Power for Input Modules:

  • Force Off: Power always off
  • Require Modules (default): Power on only if all modules are present
  • Force On: Power always on

In the case of Force On, there is a risk of damage when the pins are exposed and come into contact with conductive material.
