[!NOTE]
Catalogue entry established; support audit pending. This thread identifies the board and provides its tracking layout. “Not audited” means no board-specific assessment has been entered here, not that the hardware is unsupported.

Tracker created: October 1, 2026. Related PRs below are discovery links, not a whole-board support claim.

How to read this tracker

Marker	Meaning
🟢 Reported on hardware	A linked public report identifies this board and the tested feature. Its stated limits still apply.
🔵 Published code	A source change is public; this alone does not prove hardware operation.
🟠 Partial	Integration, qualification, or functionality remains incomplete.
⚪ Not audited	This board has not been assessed here. This does not mean unsupported.
🔴 Known gap	A linked public report identifies a missing or failing capability.

Implementation, a successful build, a hardware test, and a usable complete system are separate milestones. Results on a sibling board do not automatically apply here. Open PRs are development work, not merged-release support.

Keep this thread specific to J316S. Shared silicon work belongs in the T6000 index; qualification of another board does not change this board’s status.
