How to Determine Silicon Version

There are two ways:

• Run the emulator debugger version 5.11 (for 'C3x) or 2.42 (for 'C4x) or greater and type version command, this will print the Silicon Revision number. Note that Debuggers prior to 5.11 (for 'C3x) or 2.42 (for 'C4x) do not identify the silicon revision.
• Look at the chip. You will see the something similar to the following lines:

  TMS320C31PQL	chip identification
  EEW-65A9V6W	lot trace code

  The silicon version is given by the first two characters of the lot trace code. The first two characters translate to silicon version as follows:

  1st two characters	Silicon Revision
  E	1.X
  EA	2.X
  EB	3.X
  EC	4.X
  ED	5.X
  EE	6.X
  EF	7.X
