I feel incredibly future to have been able to purchase a RPI and receive it in the mail.
I am also curious with the scarcity of RPIs available is my pie hot out of the oven?
Or has it been sitting in a box for months...
The ESD bag my PI Zero W came in serialized I believe
Ser: 042227752 (not sure what this means)
There are no obvious date marking on the top layer of the pcb
Bottom side silkscreen perhaps gives a hint?
There is a marking that resembles a datecode but that may related to the pcb fabrication date not pcb assembly date
What about the chips?
Looking up the DRAM POP in Microns PN lookup tool
PN: EDB4432BBPA-1D-F-R
Also referencing Microns general component marking guidelines:
Would suggest the DRAM was manufactured datecode '2I' : 18th week 2022 seems plausible.
DCDC: Diodes PAM2306 (3V3 & 1V8), datecode still unknown
Wi-Fi Module
Appears to be 7th week 2022
Perhaps I can determine the manufacturing date electronically?
Here is the OTP memory block:

Based on https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#otp-registers my Pi's serial number OTP element 28: 0xe77a6d6d
Looking at /proc/cpuinfo:
scottie@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l) BogoMIPS : 697.95 Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xb76 CPU revision : 7 Hardware : BCM2835 Revision : 9000c1 Serial : 00000000e77a6d6d Model : Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
The revision code https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#new-style-revision-codes-in-use just indicates its a PI ZeroW
Oh, NOOOOO Am I really that though??? You're making me cry (just a little) this is a little like boot camp. They tell you what, and when, and then you cry.
