+== Firmware Version ==
+The Boot Firmware is comprised of several components that each have their own revision control (bdk, atf, u-boot, dts) and as such there are multiple version details to keep track of.
+
+To aid this the Newport BSP Makefile which builds the boot firmware creates a file called {{{version}}} within the FAT12 filesystem. You can mount this filesystem within Linux and examine the contents. For example:
+{{{#!bash
+root@OpenWrt:/# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
+root@OpenWrt:/# cat /mnt/version
+BDK=e1a02ac-dirty Mon Feb 12 16:59:48 UTC 2018
+ATF=v1.3(release):99860b5-dirty
+UBOOT=2017.09-rc1-g5d286a6
+DTS=f31a186
+root@OpenWrt:/# umount /mnt
+}}}
