Can one check for Rev B or Rev C in software?

[Chris Green]

I have a remote BBB and I want to check whether it is Rev B or Rev C,
how can I do this using just command line software (I only have ssh
access to it).

My remote BBB is too old to have that!

I tried copying the version.sh script but it produced no output, so I
dug further and just ran the code for the eeprom output, it gives:

eeprom:[A335BNLT00A55004BBBK0340]

So presumably that makes it revision A5, very ancient by BBB
standards. As it reports 4Gb of memory I assume I must be running from
microSD as the EMMC would be 2Gb.
