+Identifying your Rev
+--------------------
+
+We went through three versions ("Revs") of the Maple hardware: Rev 1,
+Rev 3, and Rev 5 [#frev2_4]_; Rev 5, the final design, is currently on
+sale. The following sections will help you to help you identify your
+Rev. Known issues are listed in the :ref:`errata <errata>`.
+
+Rev 1
+^^^^^
+
+A small number of Maple Rev 1 boards went on sale in late 2009. They
+have a light red silkscreen and a single pixelated leaf as a logo.

+
+.. [#frev2_4] Revs 2 and 4 were prototypes that didn't pass internal
+ testing.
+
+Rev 3
+^^^^^
+
+This batch of boards went on sale beginning in May 2010. They have a
+darker red silkscreen and the "infinity leaf" logo. The Maple Rev 3
+was the first version which includes the built-in button, labeled BUT.
+It also includes a built-in LiPo battery charger.

+
+Rev 5
+^^^^^
+
+These boards went on sale in November 2010. They have white buttons,
+and "r5" in small print near the "LeafLabs Maple" text next to the
+"infinity leaf" logo. The Maple Rev 5 repositioned the double header
+on the right hand side to better fit 0.1 inch pitch breadboard. This
+necessitated the removal of pins 21 and 22 from the double header;
+they are still available, but don't have any headers installed on
+them.

+
+Powering the Maple
+------------------
+
+The Maple's power source is determined by the header to the left of
+the "LeafLabs" label on the silkscreen. All versions of the Maple can
+be powered from the barrel jack connector, USB, or a LiPo battery. We
+ship the Maple with a jumper on the USB selector. In order to power
+it off of an alternative source, unplug the Maple, then move the
+jumper to the desired selector before reconnecting power.
+
+You can also power the Maple via the pin labeled "Vin" on the lower
+header. However, don't do this while simultaneously powering the
+Maple from another source, or you could damage the board.
+
+Using the Built-in Battery Charger
+----------------------------------
+
+Maples Rev 3 and Rev 5 also have a built-in LiPo battery charger. In
+order to use it, put a jumper across the CHRG header on the power
+selection header and across the USB, or EXT selectors, depending on
+whether you're charging the battery via USB cable or barrel jack
+connector. The LED labeled CHRG will light up while the battery is
+being charged. When the battery is finished charging, the LED labeled
+DONE will also light up.
+
+Hardware Design Files
+---------------------
+
+The hardware schematics and board layout files are available in the
+`Maple github repository <https://github.com/leaflabs/maple>`_. The
+design files for Rev 1, Rev 3, and Rev 5 are respectively in the
+``maple-r1``, ``maple-r3``, and ``maple-r5`` subdirectories. A
+schematic for a JTAG adapter suitable for use with Maple is available
+in the ``jtagadapter`` directory.
+
+From the github repository main page, you can download the entire
+repository by clicking the "Download" button. If you are familiar
+with `git <http://git-scm.com/>`_, you can also clone the repository
+at the command line with ::
+
+ $ git clone git://github.com/leaflabs/maple.git
