== Which Firmware Do You Have? ==

If your machine is not in secure mode, the firmware version is displayed in the startup banner, as in:

OLPC B4, 256 MiB memory installed, S/N SHF7250024D
OpenFirmware CL1 Q2D07 Q2D
^^^^^

If your machine is in secure mode, you can go to the Terminal activity and type

cat /ofw/openprom/model

If your machine is in secure mode but the OS will not start, just go ahead and try to upgrade the firmware anyway. The procedure is safe and will not do anything if you already have up-to-date firmware.

Beginning with firmware Q2D08, you can see the firmware version in secure mode by powering up with the "check" game button held down.

Beginning with OS Build 690 (or less?) you can also go to the main screen, click on the little man and select "about this XO"
