When CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE is set in your board config file, then U-Boot will set the "ver" envrionment variable to the current version ID string. If you run "saveenv" at least once, then you can read this string from the U-Boot environment under Linux, using the fw_getenv tool / function provided in tools/env/ .
