I would like to put a version number of my source code/build/compilation into the FPGA so that it can be read through a serial channel that I have programmed. Is it possible to have Quartus do this automatically? If not, I will have to increment a counter by hand, in the code, whenever I create a new version and make the counter a constant that can be output on the serial channel. Any manual technique is subject to the frailties of humanity - forgetting to increment it, not incrementing correctly, etc.
