Determining hardware version of microZed & IOCC

I am a dumb software guy just about to start smoke testing PMODs with my microZed & IOCC.

I have been noting various errata for different hardware versions.

The "usual" silk screen location for the version seems to be "unfilled":
MBCC-IO-[blank rectangle]
Z7MB-7X0x0-ASY-[blank rectangle]

On the IOCC I note that there's actual copper with "MBCC-IO-PCB-D" next to the PS-PMOD connector, on the microZed, underneath near the PMOD connecter is "Z7MB-7Z0x0-PCB-F"

Are these the IOCC and microZed revisions the errata refer to (eg: there's that USB resistor errata, will you respin the PCB for that?)

You have correctly identified the markers that show what PCB Revision for each board. In your case, you have a Rev F MicroZed and a Rev D IOCC. Additionally, the MicroZed also has a sticker placed by the CM which identifies the PCB and BOM revisions. Mine says REV-F01, which identifies this as a Rev F PCB with BOM revision 01.

By USB Resistor Errata are you referring to this http://www.microzed.org/content/errata-usb-host-configuration-resistor-r56? If so, this can be corrected with a BOM change, so no PCB revision required. We are working on an updated BOM that reflects this, which will be addressed in a new Revision F0x. We should have more on this next week.

to find a good place for those stickers... I must have barcode blindness because I completely missed that one on the bottom of the microZed.

There's a good size space on the top; just cover that AVNET logo :P

(semi-serious and separate to my original & answered question - I know it's a small thing, but I have personal experience of disassembling hundreds of stacked modules to get at a part code hidden between layers...)

You make a good point. If I had MicroZed assembled and bolted into a product, I wouldn't be too excited about disassembling the thing if I needed to see the MicroZed version. I will make a recommendation to our design team to see if they can figure out a way to put that sticker on top.

I spoke with our production manager. We purposefully put the stickers on the back of the board whenever possible to keep the top looking clean. If you are using MicroZed in your product, you are welcome to use the customize@avnet.com email related to your production order, and then you can specify that you want the sticker on the top.
