| * Based on photos from ebay and mentions in documentation, there seem to be quite a few model numbers and revisions of the Duro. 00862-04, 00862-03, 00862-002, 00862-01, 00728-01, 00522-01 (Duro Inertial is 00759-01 and 00759-02). | * Based on photos from ebay and mentions in documentation, there seem to be quite a few model numbers and revisions of the Duro. 00862-04, 00862-03, 00862-002, 00862-01, 00728-01, 00522-01 (Duro Inertials may be 00759-01 and 00759-02, but I have seen them marked 00862-02 as well). |

| * The Duro has a microSD card and micro USB port accessible externally, via a cover plate on the rear. This is mentioned very little in documentation. The Piksi Multi evaluation board has both as well as a USB host port, and they are connected directly to the Piksi Multi. The micro USB port is connected to USB0 on the Zynq, and acts as a "common device class" serial port and can be configured for I/O the same as the serial ports. USB1, the host port, is not available on the Duro as far as I can see, and is intended for flash drives for logging or firmware updates.

The latest revision of the Duro User Manual (4.4) which has Carnegie Robotics branding, clearly states "Warranty is voided if Duro back access panel is opened." | * The Duro has a microSD card and micro USB port accessible externally, via a cover plate on the rear.
