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

If a camera returns the register set to all zero, that particular
camera does not support the extended version information.
