typedef?struct?DEV_SOFT_VER_S
{
char?szSoftwareName[20];
char?szVersion[50];
}DEV_SOFT_VER_T;
DEV_SOFT_VER_T?s_stSoftVer[]=
{
{
" neta.vfs ",-------------------dbase
" ESRV500R009B02D306 ",--------------------software version information
}
};
Because what adopt is that the global data mode is defined arrays, the version information of software can be stored in the data field.Directly this data field of inquiry just can obtain version information.

DEV_SOFT_VER_T?g_stSoftVerTable[]=
{
{
" neta.vfs ",-------------------dbase
" ESRV500R009B02D306 ",--------------------software version information
},
{
“netb.vfs”,
“ESRV500R009B02D206”,
}
......
};
When software that upgrading is used on the master control borad, need the software described in the supporting data field of immediate updating version can every kind of compatible business board software version information.
