Fields
Field Function
7-4
ARCH
Board architecture version:
1= V1
2= V2 (etc.)
The ARCH field starts at 1 and is only changed if major software-impacting architectural changes to the
board occur: changes to PHY vendors, memory devices, etc.
3-0
BRD
PCB board version:
1= Rev A (or pre-release)
2= Rev B (etc.)
The BRD field reports physical updates to the boards, often incorporating errata fixes or improvements,
which may or may not affect software.
Software may use this field to print board version identification, such as:
char brd_ver = (get_pixis( VER ) & 0Fh);
printf("Board Version: %c", brd_ver + 'A' - 1 );
