4.5 Board Version (VER)
Address
Register Offset
VER 001h
Function
The VER register records version information for the PCB board as well the board architecture. The PCB board version can change
without impacting the board architecture version, and vice versa.

Fields
Field Function
7-4
ARCH
Board architecture version:
1= V1
2= V2 (etc.)
3-0
BRD
PCB board version:
1= Rev A (or pre-release)
2= Rev B (etc.)
The ARCH field is used by QIXIS and software to handle architecture changes. The ARCH field allows the use of a common
QIXIS image across multiple board revisions, if supported by the device.
The BRD field lets end users determine the version of the board. Software can use this field to print board version identification.
For example:
printf("Board Version: %c", (get_pixis( VER ) & 0Fh) + 'A' - 1 );
