Find the actual version number of firmware on an RDV4

How can one find the actual version number of the firmware on the RDV4? On connecting with the client/running "hw version" all it says under bootrom and os are "RRG/Iceman/master/release (git)". No version number is shown. Here's the full output of hw version:

Re: Find the actual version number of firmware on an RDV4

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

The only version number I see is the client version next to the big PM3 logo (which appears to be hardcoded into client/proxmark3.c). I don't see any other version numbers except the GCC versions used to build stuff. Whereas yours has something under the [ARM] section under bootrom seeming to show an actual version number, mine is only "RRG/Iceman/master/release (git)". Here's the full output of launching the client.

Re: Find the actual version number of firmware on an RDV4

You are not using the lastest source code. And your output indicates that you are not using the release source code either.
Are you on homebrew or something?

Try download latest source, or the release source and compile/flash.

Re: Find the actual version number of firmware on an RDV4

I downloaded from github back in december of 2019. My intention was to find what version was on the proxmark right now before I flash it. The firmware on there right now is the firmware that came with it.

Re: Find the actual version number of firmware on an RDV4

That would explain why there is no version.    The numbers on yours,  is compiler version.
