Changes between Version 25 and Version 26 of Software/Gateway

-                      v25
+                      v26
 Since a Gateway is sitting on the hardware IBus and provides a service of connecting to this bus through network, I decided to extend its functionality to some high level services. Here is a list of supported high level services and protocol how to use them.
 === Firmware Update ===
+== Firmware Update ==
 An OpenBM-Gateway can also be used to update the firmware on the OpenBM device. The firmware update is done by the protocol described [wiki:Stuff/FirmwareUpdate here]. The OpenBM-Gateway server takes care of the low-level implementation of that protocol. A client application need just to initiate an update and check result from the server.
+=== Firmware Version ===
+In order to check currently installed firmware version OpenBM need to be reset. Hence on the low level side, the gateway send a reset message over the ibus and receive from the OpenBM's bootloader the currently installed firmware version. This version is passed then back to the client connected over the network.
+In order to initiate firmware version check a client need send a message:
+  * '''GetFirmwareVersion''': ''src='f''', ''dst='g''' - Server will answer with the same message after some amount of time, where the current version is stored in the priority field of the header (high byte for major version and low byte for minor version)
