How to know the petalinux version?

There is no direct way to know the version of PetaLinux you were using.But, if you can ssh to connect to your system, using the command uname -a will give you the kernel version, which will give you the according PetaLinux version. This is only true is you did not change the kernel version yourself.According to the documentation :Kernel Version 4.6 -> PetaLinux 2016.4  (https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/68370.html)Kernel Version 4.9 -> PetaLinux 2017.1  (https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/69074.html)
