HiSilicon SDK naming principles:
`Hi35xxVxxxRxxxCxxSPCxxy`
Each field is explained as follows:
* `Hi35xx`, segment contains chip type
* `Vxxx` segment contains the type of chip version
* `Rxxx` segment contains the release package type:
- `R001`: Linux SDK
- `R002`: Huawei LiteOS SDK
- `R003`: Linux RDK reference design
- other R bit is not used
* `Cxx` segment contains compiler specific environment
- `C00`: FPGA-based
- `C01`: type A compiler (e.g. `uclibc` based sysroot)
- `C02`: type B compiler (e.g. `glibc` based sysroot)
- `C03` and `C04` are reserved
- `C05`: Huawei LiteOS
- `C09`: based on Demo version
* `SPCxxy` segment shows current version
- `xx` for each next release will be incremented by 1 (releases with fixed errors, additional features, etc)
- `xx0` indicates normal version, for temporary versions last character could be incremented by 1 in range from `1-9` and `A-z`.
