on that subject what's the system id useful for other then a time stamp? does it get used by the os as the cpu id as well? --- Quote End ---
One use is for the programmer to verify before you program the board that the syslib you've used to compile the design is for the same hardware design that is running on the board. This stops you generating a design, programming the hardware, writing the software, changing the design and reprogramming the hardware, forgetting to rebuild the syslib, programming the software, and then wondering why nothing works.
I don't know whether the OS uses the system ID though.
