Hello,

you can enter the serial number on the sticker of your SoM here:

This should display your variant.

The board versions (or variants) are called V1, V2, V3, ... or with an added I in case of industrial temperature range, V1I, V2I, V3I, .... The board variant shows the equipped features of the board. The board itself can basically handle all variants, but we have also variants with less features that are less expensive. The variant decides whether there is WLAN or not, larger or smaller eMMC, more or less RAM, one or two LAN ports, etc.

The number found on the PCB is the board revision. This is independent from the version above. A new board revision is required if there was an improvement on the hardware, e.g. to fix a bug or to optimize something. Typically, new board revisions are only introduced rather early in the board development process and only if redesigns are required. After all issues are fixed, the board revision stays the same for the rest of the lifetime.

Revisions are numbered Rev1.xy. If the change is on the hardware side only, then y is increased. This is the case if a transistor needed to be replaced, a capacitor added, or the PCB routing was improved. Then for example Rev1.01 would change to Rev1.02. But if the new revision also has influence on the software side, then x is increased and y is reset to 0. For example if two GPIOs needed to be swapped, then also the software has to be changed to handle the new GPIO numbers. Then Rev1.02 would change to Rev1.10.
