Hello,

I would like to find out the current firmware version running on my Raspberry Pi. Is there a command that can help?

Thanks.

Tieum, how did you get the vcgencmd on Fedora? I just installed the latest release candidate from here http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspber ... es/rpfr17/ and cannot find that command. Nor can I find where to install it from. :(

In a pinch, I downloaded the vcgencmd executable from here, and it worked. https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... opt/vc/bin
