• Identifying revisions and type. Type proposal was a 4 byte number with first byte identifying broader category like motherboard, networking or storage etc and remaining 3 bytes pointing to a spec submission to OCP in that broad category. Remaining information like vendor and device etc can be obtained by the spec. Final agreement was to use a 2 byte number instead of 3 due to byte alignment reasons.
