How to get Bootloadable Application Version Info Programmatically

[Anonymous]

Hello,  Can anyone tell me how to go about getting the Bootloadable Component's Application Version programmatically from the bootloadable application code?  I realize that it's stored in the Meta data, but there doesn't appear to be a similar function to Bootloader_GetMetadata.  Also, Bootloadable_v1_50.pdf says that the define, Bootloadable_META_APP_VER_OFFSET is now deprecated.

   

Thanks.

Hello,

       

You have to find the address in the Flash where the bootloadable application version is stored (by going to the definition of Bootloader_GetMetadata API and then going to the some macro define values).Once you get the address you can read it via \CY_GET_REG16 API.

   

I am attaching certain Snapshots showing how I calculated the address  and then printed the application version of bootloader in Bootloadable project.Similarly you can do for Bootloader project.

Thanks ANKS.  That is what I ultimately did, but I was thinking that maybe there was some other way than to use "magic" numbers.
