Looking at the BeagleBone's SRM, I see that the contents of the board's 
EEPROM are well defined (Board ID, Version, etc). The BeagleBone Black's 
SRM, doesn't say anything about the EEPROM's layout, but looking at the 
contents of some of my boards, it seems to follow the same spec with a few 
changes. Is there a spec. for the BBB's EEPROM somewhere out there?

I also see that the serial number programmed into the EEPROM is basically 
just the year, week, some constant ASCII characters and then an index that 
(I assume) resets to 0 at the beginning of each week. This makes since if 
there was only one manufacture building the bones, but since it is open 
source, there could be theoretically many people building them. Wouldn't 
this lead to many boards that have identical serial numbers?
