I don't remember where I found this information, but I believe most chips
have a block of data at 0x0FF0 which contains chip-specific information
that can be used to figure out the part number. Other data lives in the
infoA segment of some chips, and in a separate TLV (tag-length-value)
section in the 5xx/6xx series. Addresses for those segments are
device-specific, though I think there might be a pointer to the TLV section
in the block at 0xFF0.
I'm unaware of any available machine-readable map from magic numbers at
block 0x0FF0 to device identifiers, or identification of which TLV tag
pertains to which peripheral. I am aware that peripherals like the ADC12
have different TLV tags on different MCUs within the same family (or, at
least, several value-line devices came with inconsistent TLV tags for ADC).

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
