APPENDIX B: FIRMWARE REVISIONS / FEATURES REGISTER
Since SIO4 boards can exist across multiple form factors and with various hardware features, the firmware/features
registers attempt to help identify the exact version of a SIO4 board. This appendix provides a more detailed
breakdown of what the firmware and features registers, and detail differences between the firmware revisions.
