To all wiki contributors.

Below this line are notes that are not going to be included in the pages where is used this template, only affects to the sisaxix PP4 and V2 boards. Are some tespoints i copyed from sowhere and was added here at the time of making this template because i wanted to keep a record of them but was not accurate enought. If at some point someone verifyes them please add them to the table and delete them from here

If eventually someone adds more rows to the table keep in mind that some board models tespoints has been listed completly in the table, this is why there is a row named Total amount of testpoints to verify how many are in the table by counting them. When adding a new row to the table please add a N/A to the boards that was completed
