Please be aware that your project may contain a device type which has different SW/FW
revisions. The EDD version must always match an SW/FW revision of the device. If an
incorrect EDD is assigned, PDM will detect the deviation and communication with the device
will not be established. As a user you will receive a message from PDM stating which device
it expects and which one it has detected during device identification.
