TPS65982: Register 0x02, ProtoVer value

Expert 1015 points
Part Number: TPS65982

I have a board with the TPS65982 and was reading all of the registers, both with the Host Interface Tool and Aardvark and also with my own I2C interface. I wanted to figure out how to set these all in my application. When I read register 2, ProtoVer, read a 4 byte value of 00000000. However, the HostIntTechRefManual (slvuan1A) says that this register should return 1, for the current specification of the TBlt. I tried another one of my boards and it also reads as 0x0. 
I then tried connecting the HIT-Aardvark to my EVMs that I have and when I used the Read-Command I read a 0x1. When I connected the HIT-Aardvark to my board, I still read a 0x0. So, it isn't the method of reading (I don't think), but the silicon on my board. Do I likely just have older silicon than parts on the EVM boards? This is a RO register, so I don't think the AppConfig tool and any of my setups could change it.

I don't have a problem making a TBlt connection, but I was wondering why my parts don't return 1 as Table1-1 says.

Thanks
