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).

If a camera returns the register set to all zero, that particular

camera does not support the extended version information.
