h1. HW-Data

Each Board (with MCU) should have an I2C EEPROM containung some "production" information.

The Board-Config is config information that might be inherited by production data;

e.g. max. usable LEDs; soldered transceivers. It *should* be reflected by variants but may not, at least

development samples. The software does not want to miracle information from production data.

|_.Offset|_.Type                    |

|0x00    | Production-Data          |

|0x20    | Board-Config             |

|0x40    | Config 1                 |

|0x60    | Config 2                 |

If EEPROM is not available, an sector in internal flash can be used.

The area within the flash should be handled by the "retain"-class from libbiwak. It

already handles header version and CRC.

"Magic"s do not make much sense. Its not supposed to be human readable.

The first 5 Bytes after magic can be used to identify an plain PCB. Until there are not more than

0xff articles, they coud be shrinked to 4Bytes in representations.

The first 7 Bytes after magic can be used to identify an valid article PCB.

1) although circuit might be changed afterwards, assembly option at time of production

   is relevant to compare with errata-page.

   The soldered parts shout match the one taged with this patch level in git.

Things like production site, version of horo-firmware etc. can be stored off-device.
