17. In-System Device Identification
The C8051F70x/71x has SFRs that identify the device family and derivative. These SFRs can be read by
firmware at runtime to determine the capabilities of the MCU that is executing code. This allows the same
firmware image to run on MCUs with different memory sizes and peripherals, and dynamically changing
functionality to suit the capabilities of that MCU.
In order for firmware to identify the MCU, it must read three SFRs. HWID describes the MCU’s family,
DERIVID describes the specific derivative within that device family, and REVID describes the hardware
revision of the MCU.
