 The firmware is an iCE40 bitstream ((The bitstream format has been [[http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/format.html|documented by the icestorm project]] )). The bitstream start with the bytes 0xff 0x00 followed by a null terminated string and then 0x00 0xff. This null terminated string is a comment. In the Lighthouse deck this comment is used to store the version of the firmware as a version string. The intention is that the deck user (ie. the Crazyflie or other external board) must be able to find-out if the firmware is compatible or if it needs to be upgraded or downgraded. The firmware is an iCE40 bitstream ((The bitstream format has been [[http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/format.html|documented by the icestorm project]] )).

-The version string format is a base 10 integer number in ascii indicating the version. For example "1". It follows the rules of the C function strtol() to be decoded so the string can start with white-space, followed by an optional "+" or "=" followed by decimal digits. The decoding stops at the first non-digit character.+The version string format is a base 10 integer number in ascii indicating the version. For example "1".

 In the context of the lighthouse firmware, versions >= 1 are released version and should be in parity (or handled) by the client connecting the board in order to boot the firmware. Versions <= 0 are development version and the intention is that the client will then boot it without further check. In the context of the lighthouse firmware, versions >= 1 are released version and should be in parity (or handled) by the client connecting the board in order to boot the firmware.
