How to Check the Current Core Version On A600 V2

Hi,

I have flashed my Vampire A600 V2 with the latest core.

It boots and works and shows full ram etc.  But I no longer get a Vamp logo on startup...

Before I start trying to implement RTG and other features on the new core, is there a way I can check what the current core is so I'm confident it did upgrade properly ?  i.e some tool or command line thing.

Thanks, Ady.

Yup, use the vcontrol program from the CLI

Thanks Carlos!

Where do I download that then please ?

Had a look on Google and didn't spot anything.

Best, Ady

EXTERNAL LINK   
Go to “Downloads” (where you would have gone originally when you downloaded the latest core) and download the latest SAGA Driver. VControl is installed into C when you install the driver.

Thanks Sean!  Will do.

Does the SAGA drive do anything on an A600 btw?  Sorry, new to the Vamp.
