 "symptom": "The board reports itself as an OpenMV N6 but says nothing obvious about which sensor is fitted, and the module namespace lists constants for dozens of sensors it does not have \u2014 OV2640, OV5640, MT9V034, LEPTON, BOSON, GENX320 and more \u2014 which makes it easy to write code against the wrong one.",
