Query Device OS Version over USB/Serial

Is it possible to identify the device os version via the particle cli using a usb connection? For instance, if I have a b402 running 4.1.0, is it possible to retrieve this information?

I would like to do this without interfacing with the cloud because this is to confirm that the device os has been updated during manufacturing, so devices usually have not connected to the cloud at this point.

Using the Particle CLI with the device in listening mode (blinking dark blue) and connected by USB:

particle identify

You can also do it from some web browsers connected by USB by using Device Inspect.

You can force the device into listening mode from the CLI (instead of using the buttons) using:

particle usb start-listening
