Compatible? What does it mean for a board?

Third time: did you look how other vendors do it?

How one board can be with multiple SoCs? If it is soldered, it's close
to impossible - that's just not the same board. If it is not soldered,
why you are not explaining it? What is Ride board? What is there? What
can go there? How it can be used in other SoCs? Or for which SoCs? Is
there a datasheet available?

You keep repeating my about SoC and I keep responding the same: don't care.
