Hardware Differences

My D34324 MI100s have some visible differences to their board layout near INJECTION_SW. A TPS2121 power mux has been removed and nearby some 0 ohm linking resistors have been added. I don't know what this power mux is for.
As there were visible hardware changes, I have not tried cross flashing. It might work, but I'm not tempted enough to find out and it risks bricking them.

2020 (D34315) board's INJECTION_SW area.

2021 (D34324) board's INJECTION_SW area. Some signs of SMD rework (flux residue) and 0ohm links instead of a power mux.

System Management Command Output

Output from various system management commands on my test system.
