Extended version information register
The presence of each of the following features can be queried by the 0 bit of
the corresponding register.
The µC version and FPGA firmware version numbers are bcd-coded, which
means that e.g. firmware version 0.85 is read as 0x0085 and version 1.10 is
read as 0x0110.
The newly added VERSION_INFOx_EX registers contain extended bcd-coded
version information formatted as
special.major.minor.patch
.
So reading the value 0x00223344 is decoded as:
•
special: 0 (decimal)
•
major: 22 (decimal)
•
minor: 33 (decimal)
•
patch: 44 (decimal)
This is decoded to the human readable version 22.33.44 (leading zeros are
omitted).
Note
•
Currently all registers can be written without being
activated. This makes it easier to operate the camera
using Directcontrol.
•
Allied Vision reserves the right to require activation in
future versions of the software.
