AFE79xx: how to identify chip version

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE7900, AFE7950, AFE7900EVM

Hello,

In the above scenario Thameem mentioned (

We have different versions of AFE like AFE7900, AFE7950, etc. We do bringup of the board programmatically and have separate

    spi commands files for each version of board. I want to know if there is any way to get the board type programmatically, that is whether

    the connected board is 7900 or 7950, so that the program can be automated. )

, I have tried reading register 0x06 (for getting chip version) , but I am only able to get a value that is 0x11 (this value is mentioned in the manual).

I have also tried writing into this register programmatically and later read it but the value remains the same. Is the chip version same for all the AFE79 series?

if no, can it be changed? if chip version cannot be used for identifying different boards of the same series, then is there any other way?

Looking for your help

Thank you.
