Starting with Revision G of the EVM, version information is stored in a user accessible I2C EEPROM on the main board at EEPROM address 0 (I2C address 0x50). The information is organized with the following structure.

      struct EEPROM_ID_T
      {
          unsigned long  header;
          char           board_name[16];
          unsigned short version_major;
          unsigned short version_minor;
          unsigned long  config_option;
          char           reserved[28];
      } eeprom_id;

The EEPROM is factory programmed using the EEPROM writer.
