8.2.4 EEPROM Data Format
Table 14 shows the format of the contents of the expansion board EEPROM. Data is
stored in Big Endian with the least significant value on the right. All addresses read as a
single byte data from the EEPROM, but two byte addressing is used. ASCII values are
intended to be easily read by the user when the EEPROM contents are dumped.

Revision number of the overall format of this EEPROM in ASCII =A1
Board Name
6
32
Name of board in ASCII so user can read it when the EEPROM is dumped. Up to
developer of the board as to what they call the board..
Version
38
4
Hardware version code for board in ASCII. Version format is up to the developer.
i.e. 02.1…00A1....10A0
Manufacturer
42
16
ASCII name of the manufacturer. Company or individual’s name.
Part Number
58
16
ASCII Characters for the part number. Up to maker of the board.
Number of Pins
74
2
Number of pins used by the daughter board including the power pins used.
Decimal value of total pins 92 max, stored in HEX.
Serial Number
76
12
Serial number of the board. This is a 12 character string which is:
WWYY&&&&nnnn
where: WW = 2 digit week of the year of production
YY = 2 digit year of production
&&&&=Assembly code to let the manufacturer document the assembly number
or product. A way to quickly tell from reading the serial number what the board
is. Up to the developer to determine.
nnnn = incrementing board number for that week of production
