Arduino Nano Matter board revision V0.5?

Seems I was shipped the pre-production rev. of the board. Disappointing that Arduino (not a third party) shipped this product. I'll be returning given I prefer to use a current revision board for my new project.

Hoping someone can tell me if the V0.5 slightly embossed (but no ink) on the back of the board designates (or not?) a pre-production Arduino Nano Matter board?
If 'yes' seems I should return this board and re-order so I can get an actual (latests revision) production board?
I recently purchased an Arduino Nano Matter board via the Arduino offering on Amazon. The only board revision number I can locate is the slightly embossed V0.5 on the bottom of the board (USB-C end). After no luck perusing the internet for board revision information, I prompted Gemini AI and was told the V0.5 is for the pre-production boards. Thanks

Gemini AI also just clarified the Silicon Labs part number on my board versus the current V1.0 board:
"You can treat your MGM240S22A [part number on my board] as a functional equivalent to the retail MGM240SD22VNA for almost all code and automation tasks. The code you write for Matter, Thread, or BLE will run the same on both. Just keep in mind that the V1.0 retail boards are the ones that went through final FCC/CE certification under the longer part number. "

Hi @scbme. The boards marked "V0.5" are the latest production model. So there is no need to return the board. You would only receive another board marked "V0.5"

It is nothing more than a hallucination. As is common, the AI lied to you.

It is true that, in software, 0.x.x version numbers are typically considered "beta", with the first production release given the version number 1.0.0. However, the Arduino hardware designers do not follow that convention. For them, a version number is simply an arbitrary sequential identifier. The only information it provides is which revision of the board design you have. You should not attempt to assign any significance beyond that into the specific number.

Thank you for the quick response and clarification. Actually somewhat relieved that Arduino shipped a current product.

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.

Enjoy using that nice Nano Matter board!
