Thingy:91 - EEPROM version identification

[Achim Kraus]

According the changelog Nordic Thingy 91 - Download - Hardware files - 1.4.0  the EEPROM was added for version identification.

However, reading the EEPROM from version 1.4.0 or 1.5.0 doesn't show a difference.

Is the idea to store the version identification canceled?

Hello, 

I have forwarded your question to the Thingy:91 design team and will update you as soon as I have an answer.

A small update. The eeprom is intended for HW identification, however, I'm not sure what the status is. Will have an answer next week. 

Kind regards,

The v1.4.0 and v1.5.0 are the HW versions of Thingies 91 I tested.

Therefore I'm wondering, why the content of the EEPROM is the same.

Hello, and sorry for the late response. The person who was supposed to provide an answer is out of office due to Christmas break. I will update you as soon as I get an answer from him. 

Kind regards,

Though it's more curiosity then a real issue; no need to hurry.

I'm happy, that the EEPROM is there at all and the most of it can be used for an application.

I was still not lucky with getting a v1.6.0 to test and the main benefit of reading the hw version would be to detect the v1.6.0 in order to omit the suspend of the 3.3V.

Any update?

Is that date in the EEPROM used? Or is that idea withdrawn?
