Hello all,

I booted up an S17 / T17 control board that I bought through bitmain from https://shop.bitmain.com/product/parts

On the main page when I log in with root/root I see "MP TEST FIRMWARE!" in big red letters. Take a look:

Then when I click on the "Network" tab, an additional "Quality" tab appears (of course, the board is not attached to any fans or hashboards):

Here is pastebin with kernel log:

It doesn't really matter to me since I had to overwrite by upgrading to the latest T17 firmware anyway, but I was curious about what this MP TEST FIRMWARE might be or if anyone has seen it before. Looks like the compile time is in HKT timezone rather than CST; I haven't seen that before. Thoughts?
