Hi all, I often wondered this myself actually about serial / hardware revisions. being so generic with reference boards from just about everyone, it would make sense not to lay down any specific revsion / serial number.
You would do this if you were making a product en mass. but most of these boards are reference / first adopters. @Marcin, I have 2 Panda es boards. what exactly are you reading from? ( curious more than anything ).
