+ * The interface offers functions to read the usual standard data types (bool,
+ * int, string) from the device, each of which is identified by a static
+ * numeric ID (which will usually be defined as a enum in a header file).
+ *
+ * If for example the board had a read-only serial number flash IC, we could
+ * call
+ *
+ * ret = board_detect(dev);
+ * if (ret) {
+ * debug("board device not found.");
