Could you try again to upload the picture so we could look up? If the picture is smaller than 10M, it could be uploaded.

VisionFive board is in co-lay design with 2 versions of IC (IP2315 or CH224D). The IC is for PD power input, and will be mounted in the front of the board or the back of the board depending on the availability.

There is no layout or function difference.
