RES=`ntx_hwconfig -s -p /dev/mmcblk0 DisplayResolution`
case $PCB in
	E60610D*) echo trilogy;;
	E60QB*) echo kraken;;
	E606B*) echo kraken;;
	E5061*) echo pixie;;
	E60Q9*) [ "$RES" == "800x600" ] && echo pika || echo alyssum;;
	E606C*) echo dragon;;
	E606G*) echo dahlia;;
	E606F*) echo phoenix;;
	E70Q0*) echo daylight;;
	E60QL*) echo star;;
	*) echo trilogy;;

For instance in the Mark 5 package you can find upgrade\mx50-ntx\uImage-E606G0. That means it is for the H2O (codename dahlia). I guess, in the case of newer models, this is all you have to know. If you need more certainty, you have to run a script on the device to get more information.

For KSM users: you can select "user scripts > tests > returntests.msh > get platform etc new.sh"
On my Touch C this returns:
Code:
platform: mx50-ntx; pcb: E60610D; ramsize: 256; ramtype: KAX2G323PC
This corresponds to
  • upgrade\mx50-ntx\uImage-E60610D
  • upgrade\mx50-ntx\u-boot_mddr_256-E60610D-K4X2G323PC.bin
in the mark 4 update package.
