To check the firmware version, open and IDL terminal console and write:

print, get_sw_ver(/check, /fwcheck, PVR=out, /displ)

The check will be performed. *NOTE:*the current NIOS version of the SIGGEN and ACCELEROMETER boards have a compilation bug and the routine identify them as bad:

Error checking SIGGEN for Crate#00 in Nios version.
Error checking ACCELEROMETER for Crate#01 in Nios version.
Error checking SIGGEN for Crate#02 in Nios version.
Error checking ACCELEROMETER for Crate#03 in Nios version.
Error checking SIGGEN for Crate#04 in Nios version.
Error checking ACCELEROMETER for Crate#05 in Nios version.

The output structure out gives to you the firmware versions of the all unit BCU and DSP boards.

When the firmware version is updated, you should update also the file: $ADOPT_SOURCE/conf/adsec//last_release and install it make install-conf
