[=#venice]
= Venice Family

Most of the Venice family is comprised of a base board and a SOM (system on module). Each component can have it's own revision, therefore the scheme used for products is as follows:
 - Example: GW7301-01-DF
 - The first part of the model number is the baseboard, the GW7301
 - The second 2 digits are the last 2 digits of the SOM model number. In this case, the SOM would be 7001.
 - The last 2 letters denote the revisions of each component, with the baseboard first followed by the SOM. So the baseboard is revision D while the SOM is revision F.
