Hi,
I'm trying to figure out which batch of X210 board I have, but I'm unclear if there are any identifying marks / visual differences between them that would allow me to do so. XYTech's website has a list of differences (https://www.xyte.ch/mods/x210-x2100/ halfway down) but they're not super conclusive (except possibly for the SIM slot change).
I thought I bought my board very early on from Jacky, but I have a NanoSIM slot...so according to Yue's list that would indicate a 2nd or 3rd batch which thought as not the case.
EDIT: Comparing photos from this article (http://www.cnmod.cn/2019/06/05/51nbs-x2 ... ecreation/), differences I can see are indeed the SIM slot (full-size & black in their first photo, but small and silver in the description of the PCB... has that article photographed both batch 1 and batch 2?)
My board has the small silver SIM slot and an internal USB connector by the WiFi slot, but also a crosshatched marking indicating SIM insertion direction which I don't see in the above article at all...so possibly a batch 3?
Would love some help confirming or not...
Cheers,
R

Re: Visual differences / identifying features between X210 batches?
dmidecode lists the following on a 3rd-batch x210:
I'm not certain if the "Version: X.X" is true for all x210's, but perhaps it's worth a shot?
Edit: here's the SIM slot on the machine: https://ibb.co/2hwGf6M
Edit2: I'm not sure if that info from the SMBIOS table is unique to the board, or written by coreboot, might be totally irrelevant, I have no clue
